_{Annex to the letter dated 12 July 2019 from the representatives of Algeria, Angola, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Comoros, the Congo, Cuba, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Gabon, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, the Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic, Tajikistan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Uganda, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe and the State of Palestine to the United Nations Office at Geneva addressed to the President of the Human Rights Council}

 

Mr. President, Madam High Commissioner,

We, the co-signatories to this letter, reiterate that the work of the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) should be conducted in an objective, transparent, nonselective, constructive, non-confrontational and non-politicized manner. We express our firm opposition to relevant countries’ practice of politicizing human rights issues, by naming and shaming, and publicly exerting pressures on other countries.

We commend China’s remarkable achievements in the field of human rights by adhering to the people-centered development philosophy and protecting and promoting human rights through development. We also appreciate China’s contributions to the international human rights cause.

We take note that terrorism, separatism and religious extremism has caused enormous damage to people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, which has seriously infringed upon human rights, including right to life, health and development. Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers. Now safety and security has returned to Xinjiang and the fundamental human rights of people of all ethnic groups there are safeguarded. The past three consecutive years has seen not a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang and people there enjoy a stronger sense of happiness, fulfillment and security. We note with appreciation that human rights are respected and protected in China in the process of counter-terrorism and deradicalization.

We appreciate China’s commitment to openness and transparency. China has invited a number of diplomats, international organizations officials and journalist to Xinjiang to witness the progress of the human rights cause and the outcomes of counter-terrorism and deradicalization there. What they saw and heard in Xinjiang completely contradicted what was reported in the media. We call on relevant countries to refrain from employing unfounded charges against China based on unconfirmed information before they visit Xinjiang. We urge the OHCHR, Treaty Bodies and relevant Special Procedures mandate holders to conduct their work in an objective and impartial manner according to their mandate and with true and genuinely credible information, and value the communication with member states.

We request that this letter be recorded as an official document of the 41st session of the Human Rights Council and that it be published on the OHCHR website.

UN report refuting Xinjiang genocide theory

https://undocs.org/pdf?symbol=en/A/HRC/41/G/17

How does that refute anything? It's just baseless claims. Countries like Belarus, North Korea and South Sudan signed a letter in which they praise China for its achievements in the field of human rights and shrug off putting the Uyghurs into internment camps as a necessary antiterrorism measure. That doesn't prove anything.

What about this letter moved you to type "UN report refuting Xinjiang genocide theory"? That's clearly very misleading and not at all what the document is. I wonder if you missed that or if you were intentionally misleading

My oven from the 50's is the same deal.  It burns the shit out of everything.

Don't think I haven't noticed your chic blue vintage oven, wouldn't have guessed it's from the 50s though. Mine is from the 90s and it sucks, with early ceran stove that takes ages to heat up and the oven itself has lots of hot spots and generally a very uneven temperature distribution. But it does its job and I'm thankful that God has created technology

[is this enjoyable?]

this is pretty cool. rich and dense and has really interesting sound design. some dope changes and transitions in there

seriously, it's great

The fact that we have to explain him how to prepare frozen pizza...

Putting it in a metal pan will make it crispier too. And also what I said before. Bake it longer at a lower temperature.

I've tried often to talk some sense into that guy but he simply won't listen

[pizza]

Yeah, whatever, maybe I was wrong about the baking paper part. But my point stands, you don't need any of that.

of course i'm gonna use tinfoil.. am i supposed to place the pizza on the grill without tinfoil and wait for it to cum all over my oven? blasphemy... tinfoil is just a fucking base for it to go to the oven...

If it has a lot of toppings that could fall off or liquids that could drip off, use a baking paper, but most frozen pizza doesn't do that, so you can leave out the paper and allow air to circulate around the dough so it gets crispy and not mushy. Baking paper is your second choice because it can take on some of the liquid from the dough. Tinfoil can't do that so the crust gets mushy, inevitably. 

[pizza]

You don't need baking paper for frozen pizza. It's not necessary

[pizza]

Just don't use tinfoil or a baking sheet. Put the pizza directly on the rack.

when i bake it face up i have it on top of an aluminium foil... then i take it out of the oven, place another tin foil on top and turn it upside down...then i remove the tin foil which is on top which in fact is the bottom of the pizza.. maybe some pictures would help...

This is a bullshit process. You waste sauce if you put tinfoil on your pizza toppings, especially when the pizza is upside down, and you waste tinfoil of course. Just put your frozen pizza directly on the rack and don't waste precious tinfoil any longer. You waste sauce and tinfoil and it's irritating to think about. Stop that.

edit: i also thought that when i turned it over that all the ingredients on top would fall off... but i guess they got stuck in the mozzarella.

If you thought the toppings would fall off... why did you do it anyway?

That too, from time to time. And other than that, hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.

It was actually illegal to be unemployed in USSR. If you were not at employed at a government assigned job you were deemed as a parasite. Nice way to also silence anyone who might be otherwise doing some art or literature that would be against the party's interests.

Sounds quite paradisiac to me.  What would Karl Marx have thunk about that?

that's the reason why i asked in the first place if this thread was about world music or about world music...

Dunno, I thought it means various traditional styles from all over the world (or mixes of trad styles), or even local pop music from places that don't have much influence on pop culture and non-Western places, or music from all sorts of genres that has strong influence from traditional styles. Western world music would be folk music, I guess. Hip Hop in Spanish language isn't world music.

But there was virtually no unemployment!
