[i]NEW YORK — Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”
Just days after Iran abandoned a high-profile bid for a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, it began a covert campaign to claim a seat on the Commission on the Status of Women, which is “dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women,” according to its website.
Buried 2,000 words deep in a U.N. press release distributed Wednesday on the filling of “vacancies in subsidiary bodies,” was the stark announcement: Iran, along with representatives from 10 other nations, was “elected by acclamation,” meaning that no open vote was requested or required by any member states – including the United States.
The U.S. currently holds one of the 45 seats on the body, though the position is set to expire in 2012.

I think Somalia is going to get the commission on Maritime issues to patrol and make sure the waters are safe against pirates ! so must be Sudan that gets ours !
(joking of course) but then again ???
The next one in line to be appointed to a UN commission for womens rights is Saudi Arabia. I am waiting to see what all the libtard feminist groups and Hollyweird trash is going to say about that.
I am waiting------ I am waiting---------I am waiting.:rolleyes:
