The U.N. General Assembly ignored the Islamic Republic of Iran’s appalling record on human rights to appoint it to a key committee Wednesday tasked with determining the globalist body’s priorities on everything from women’s rights to counter terrorism.
Iran received 144 votes in favor in a secret-ballot election, according to the voting results, the Jerusalem Post reports.
Critics, including U.N. Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer, were quick to point out the sheer hypocrisy of appointing the Muslim-majority dictatorship to such a committee.
“They are planning to elect the Islamic regime in Iran to a UN committee that shapes priorities on women’s rights and terrorism prevention,” Neuer said.
“This is a travesty of justice. … They massacred tens of thousands of people in January, [so] the notion that they would be named to this committee is an absurdity.”
