"Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest."
I am confused by this election. It’s like the U.N. is showing its complicity of the non-existence of Iranian women’s rights. Not that it matters much, no one really respects the authority of the United Nations anyway.
