That's fine by me, but also willing to describe tyrannical
regimes simply as regimes that have no respect for human rights
principles. <br>

<br>
also, instead of calling the UN as haven for such regime, better to
say being prone to be influenced by..... or 'the membership
includes....'<br>

<div>I hope we will reconsider use of the word tyrannical to
describe any regime or action. If our goal is to make a
strong statement and express some kind of parallelism
between vastly different countries, it may be more
effective to use a less provocative word.
<div>Maybe something that conveys disrespect for human
rights principles? </div>

<div>Thanks for this feedback. Would it be OK if we just delete
the second "tyrannical" leaving it as follows:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="">"And whilst the UN is characterised by some as
being a haven for tyrranical regimes, the United States itself
is widely criticised as having infringed global human rights
norms through its global surveillance practices, and for its
pursuit of whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden for exposing
such practices."</span></div>
