Who: The United Nations

What: Honored Zimbabwe’s leader, infamous human rights violator Robert Mugabe, as an international envoy for tourism.

Why it’s dim: As the British Guardian newspaper noted, Mugabe is “widely accused of ethnic cleansing, rigging elections, terrorizing opposition, controlling media and presiding over a collapsed economy.”

Cure: Too much to ask that they don’t honor murderous tyrants?
