THE UN Women’s Rights Committee is a farce.
Perhaps it is populated by misogynists or other mental defectives.
Who else would appoint Iran to an organization that is supposed to be dedicated to promoting “gender equality and the advancement of women !”
The UN’s WRC’ raison d'être is to judge:
- • Stereotypical attitudes towards role of women • Violation of women's rights defenders' freedom of expression & assembly • Deaths & torture of women in custody • Impunity for violations of human rights of women
Nigeria, apparently, is not much better than Iran. Its current membership expires in 2020.According to the Human Rights Watch (http://tinyurl.com/y2a6zxve),
- Nigeria: Officials Abusing Displaced Women, Girls: Displaced by Boko Haram and Victims Twice Over, released on October 31, 2016. In July 2016, Human Rights Watch documented sexual abuse, including rape and exploitation, of 43 women and girls living in seven internally displaced persons camps in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital perpetrated by government officials and other authorities.
In May 2017 after negotiations brokered by Switzerland and the International Committee for the Red Cross, 82 Chibok schoolgirls were released. Boko Haram fighters had abducted 276 schoolgirls from Chibok, Borno state, in April 2014. More than 100 of the girls and hundreds other captives, including over 500 children from Damasak, Borno, remained in Boko Haram captivity at time of writing.
The UN and its various committees is infamous for setting the fox in the chicken coop.
While it pontificates, the member states continue to make a mockery of the very councils on which they sit.
ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH
According to the CSW (http://tinyurl.com/yyc8sfmr), there are 45 member states elected by the Economic and Social Council on the basis of equitable geographical distribution. Member states serve 4-year terms.
In Iran’s case, its term was to end this year, 2019. Obviously, its exemplary record on women’s rights in Iran bought it another four-year term. Interestingly, while China is a member state, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), another civil rights stand-out, is absent. Saudi Arabia, yet another country known for its (lack) of civil rights for women is on the committee until 2020.
The expression “The fox guarding the chicken coop” comes to mind.
UNbelievable
UN organizations are notorious for doing everything their name suggests they don’t do.
UNRWA, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East , spends a goodly part of its budget on promoting hatred in its schools.
The Jerusalem Post claims “the Center for Near East Policy Research, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Middle East Forum, found that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency books showed there was no hope for peace in the region.
The research, authored by Arab-textbooks expert Aaron Groiss, in collaboration with leaders of each of the involved organizations, examined 150 textbooks of various school subjects, taught in grades one to 12. Seventy-five of the books checked were published in 2016 and 2017 as part of a project initiated by the Palestinian Authority, which provides its curriculum to UNRWA schools.”
UNRWA schools also were used by Hamas as missile-launching sites; presumably UNRWA agreed to the use of its facilities.
UNRWA is unique in that no other group, e.g. Kurds, have similar UN support.
UN resolutions against the nations of the world are absurdly anti-Israel. Rarely is another chastised, even mildly, for the most egregious violations, but Israel is condemned for defending itself against attacks on its civilian population.
If the UN, like its predecessor, met its goals, the world would have avoided two world wars, and numerous lesser wars.
The UN needs to go the way of the League of Nations and disappear into the sunset. It has proven on multiple occasions that it cannot perform as it was intended.
Interesting video to watch at https://youtu.be/WwSWCg9OoiU — the UN in "action."
PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
