UN Watch, a human rights organization, monitoring the performance of the United Nations, has strongly condemned the appointment of Saudi Arabia to the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), citing Riyadh’s poor women’s rights record and widespread gender inequality.

“Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief. It’s absurd,” Hillel Neuer, the UN Watch chief, said.

So? UN are a toothless organization.

[Daedius]

The UN is a joke.

[Torto]

Is anyone truly surprised by this? The UN is dominated by Arab countries using underhanded tactics to get whatever they want. Just look at what they get away with while forever painting Israel as the bad guy. The UN has become a useless, corrupted, perverted farce, full of bureaucrats with their snouts in the trough. It needs to be dismantled.

The appointments are meant to draw attention to their problems in those areas by placing them in a position where they cannot hide from them. Not to celebrate their accomplishments in those areas.

Is this shit real?? Was the UN like how could we Troll the world today ...

[Sykol]

Man, this shit is 22 days too late.

[announced]

the UN has always been a joke, ever since they appointed Saudi Arabia as the head of the council, this isn't anything new.

They seem to be making such great progress on this front. It's been less than a year a stoning has occurred in saudi arabai in the press.

It doesn't matter anyway, philosophy, in general, has been trash from Wittgenstein forward. Also, Julius Evola was right in everything.

[shrunken]

Saudi Arabia a country brave enough not to saddle women with the burden of driving. Great choice in my opinion.

Matching your location 'In the state of Denial'.

However, in reality the US forced a vote count and Saudi Arabia got the least of the votes of the nominees - which doesn't make sense if the goal was to appoint them to draw attention to their problems.

I retract my statement, philosophy has been trash ever since Wittgenstein with the exception of Ayn Rand.

It's pretty terrible, but I'd like to point out:

According to Reuters, twelve other countries were also elected by the council in Geneva to serve for a four-year term, ending in 2022: Algeria, Comoros, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Iraq, Japan, South Korea, Turkmenistan, Ecuador, Haiti and Nicaragua.

So uh... yeah. Several of those are pretty questionable.

There's 45 member states in total, and let's get real here: maybe 10-20 countries on earth have respectable records on women's rights.

Middle-east only has bad guys, deplorable countries that trample on human rights is common..

Saudis bribe to sit at table but then again why is US as involved as it is considering its 200+ years of constant war invasions n war-crimes?

I bet those countries on ur list are the same that import misogynist culture of religion we aren't allowed to mention. If people don't want Saudis at table, why open floodgates of Europe?

Btw several western countries voted for Saudi-Arabia...no wonder west has terrorism problem with cuck politicians.

No one takes the UN serious anymore, so I guess it doesn't matter.

But yeah, it's pretty "funny" allright.

[Sharein]

The UN is a useless, leftist organization filled with hypocritical morons.

West is muslim soon anyways, u might as well get used to it.

[Aeula]

Wonder how much they bribed for that position.

Seriously, why does the UN even exist?
