WHO welcomes Syria, Belarus to executive board

The World Health Organization has been making some questionable moves lately, pushing out Taiwan at China’s request while elevating Syria and Belarus to a place of power and privilege.

A recent video of the vote showed no objections to welcoming Syria’s Minister of Health Hassan Mohammed Al Ghabash to the WHO executive board, which sets the organization’s agenda and implements its policies. The U.K. had sanctioned al Ghabash for sharing responsibility “for the Syrian regime’s violent repression against the civilian population.”
