UN votes to eject Iran from women’s rights panel in ‘historic’ move
MSN/Independent ^ | 12-14-22

In a significant move, the United Nations has voted to remove Iran from a prominent women’s rights body for the remainder of its 2022-2026 term for the regime’s brutal crackdown on women-led protests against the theocracy.

The decision comes into effect immediately, the United Nations said.

The move, proposed by the United States, to expel Iran from the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women was hailed by activists in Iran and all across the world.

Twenty-nine members of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) voted in favour, eight countries voted against and 16 abstained.

Nothing changes in the real world. Meaningless “historic” vote.
We should leave the UN and NATO.

Of course, after this virtue signaling, Biden will be sending more billions to the mullahs to finish their nuclear weapons.
