More here at UN WATCH:
The Geneva-based human rights group UN Watch condemned the U.N.’s election of Saudi Arabia, “the world’s most misogynistic regime,” to a 2018-2022 term on its Commission on the Status of Women, the U.N. agency “exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.”
“Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch. “It’s absurd.”
“Every Saudi woman,” said Neuer, “must have a male guardian who makes all critical decisions on her behalf, controlling a woman’s life from her birth until death. Saudi Arabia also bans women from driving cars.”
“I wish I could find the words to express how I feel right know. I’m ‘saudi’ and this feels like betrayal,” tweeted a self-described Saudi woman pursuing a doctorate in international human rights law in Australia.
This shows why the UN is well past its use by date, it must be discarded.
Clearly, the concept of irony is entirely lost upon these people.
Ha, ha! UN – what a joke they became. In 1940s they would probably have elected Germany to Jews’ Rights Commitee 😀
Rather unbelievable.
Such a joke!
Oh No really? I am desperately looking to see if it might be April 1st”? So there is little doubt no doubt that in no time at all women in Saudi Arabia will be allowed to drive?
am hoping someone can check, but I recall having read that women can drive there, but cannot obtain a license. So, can foreign women can drive? More– http://www.meforum.org/520/us-department-of-state-marriage-to-saudis
