REALLY? United Nations Puts Saudi Arabia In Charge Of WOMEN’S RIGHTS COMMISSION

[longknife]

Absolutely absurd. Another reson to get out of that worthless body. And make them move their headquarters somewhere else than NYC.

Saudi Arabia was elected via secret ballot in the UN Economic and Social Council to the 45-member UN Commission on the Status of Women last week.

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.

“It’s absurd,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, which publicized the story on Sunday. “Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief,” Neuer added.

“Saudi discrimination against women is gross and systematic in law and in practice. Every Saudi woman must have a male guardian who makes all critical decisions on her behalf, controlling a woman’s life from her birth until death.

Only the UN would select a country where women aren’t even allowed to drive cars to head a commission on this subject.

Just one of the many reasons the left love the UN.

So what's their job?

It might be a good idea. Doesn't that make them responsible for something.

This might be difficult to understand but appointing representatives of the most repressive regime in the world towards women to sit on a council dealing with the rights of women is just plain stupid. Typical of Leftists/Progs.

Muslims have the largest voting block in the UN. It's no surprise. Look at how they vote against Israel compared to nations which really are oppressive.

That's like putting Bill Cosby in charge of a Rape Crisis Center...
