Clinton Says Iran Should Never Have Been on UN’s Women’s Body (But She Did Nothing to Stop It)

As a United Nations body prepares to take an unprecedented vote on whether to expel Iran from the U.N.’s top gender equality body, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday the regime should “never” have been a member of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in the first place.

Noting that she recently joined “a group of women leaders” calling for Iran’s ousting from the CSW, Clinton told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that removing the regime from the U.N. body dealing with the advancement of women would be “the right thing to do.”

“They should never have been on there in the first place,” she said.

While Clinton was secretary of state 12 years ago, however, the Obama administration stood by as Iran was handed an earlier term on the 45-member CSW, “the world’s leading intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.”

The Obama administration did so again four years later — when John Kerry was secretary of state — once again allowing Iran to join the CSW without objecting.

In both 2010 and 2014, U.S. objections may not have succeeded in preventing Iran from being elected onto the commission. But the fact that the administration remained silent — as did other democracies — enabled the regime to get the seat “by acclamation,” that is, without a vote. …

I was thinking along the same lines, except I imagined that a woman working at the U.N. had a tattoo of Iran.

She’s planning on running for President because she sure has been vocal lately.

Giving this corrupt hag more headlines is why I don't subscribe to even the supposedly “conservative” web media. It's all about “product placement” in the marketing sense, and she pays for keeping her name afloat, one may be assured.

Iran being a member of the U.N. CSW tells you all you need to now about the U.N.

As far as Her Heinous a stopped clock....
For a country that consistently scores in the top 5 of Amnesty International's 💩 list of the world's worst human rights abusers Iran sure had a lot of pull on the UN human rights committees. Yet another reason why I call the UN a vip lounge for dictators terrorists and child traffickers. The UN Secretariat Bldg is 525 ft tall. Who knew 🐂💩 can pile so high?
