Henhouse meet fox.
The United Nations is the single worst enabler of human rights abuses in the world even as it claims to protect human rights.
As UN Watch reports, the United Nations continues elevating Iran, China and other human rights abusers to leading positions in shaping and determining human rights findings and enforcement.
And Iran, the world’s greatest state sponsor of terrorism, in particular will be in a position to shape policy terrorism prevention.
On Wednesday, the UN’s 54-nation Economic and Social Council nominated the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN’s Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets next month to shape policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. ECOSOC’s nomination is effectively decisive, as the UN General Assembly customarily rubber-stamps such nominations without a vote.
In addition, ECOSOC by acclamation elected China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan to the influential Committee on NGOs, which oversees the work, accreditation and UN access of thousands of human rights and civil society groups that enjoy consulative status at the world body.
The United States was the only ECOSOC member to object, saying that Iran, Cuba and Nicaragua were “unfit.”
Henhouse meet fox. The UN can’t counter terrorism becomes the terrorism is coming from inside the house. The UN is the problem. And the sooner we get rid of it, the better.

It is past time to forget this clown show, and mandate they find some other socialist aradise to host and pay for it.

I am sure this came from “The Onion”
Cynthia says
What a joke from the biggest sponsor of terrorism. US needs to not give one cent to the UN, but not withdraw so a dissenting, rational voice is heard.
Our tax dollars are going to feed the terrorists through NGOs that get jizzah from the infidels.

Stupid, selfish, arrogant and evil. If the un had to write a resume’ for the job they are *supposed* to do, they would have to lie like the muzzies who rule the organization. They’d have no problem with that.
The un has no problem with choosing the evil to pretend to seek peace and security for the innocent.
Wellington says
As Winston Churchill noted by no later than 1958, the UN had become as feckless as the League of Nations.
And since then even worse. Far worse.
Time way overdue for America to pull out of the UN. First and foremost it’s the right thing to do, but as a “bonus” it will put liberals into hysterics once again and viewing liberals in hysterics is a pure spectator sport. Personally, I enjoy such “theatrics” immensely.
PRCS USN (ret) says
The bonus, for sure.
Walter Sieruk says
This nomination is beyond absurd , it’s so very bizarre that it’s completely and totally insane .
It must be that the UN is an irrational entity.
Ralph says
I’m quite okay with the UN being an irrational entity, but please, not on our soil, not with our money and not with us in it.
James Lincoln says
Quite simply, the UN is now evil.
The United States should not spend one more penny supporting this terror loving organization.
OLD GUY says
The USA should pay the minimum membership dues to the U Nuts organization.
Troybeam says
One dollar and no more.
Westman says
Is this the same UN, when after sending 3rd world helpers to feed starving populations, the women say it came with a sexual premium they had to pay?
Westman says
Muslim nations giving advice on women’s rights is like the banks saying saying they were not interested in repossession during the Great Depression. Sign here.

If iran was so wonderful to deserve this ‘honor,’ then the elites wouldn’t be sending their children to the U.S.
“Iranian elites face deportation calls over US visas, lifestyle
Journalist Tara Kangarlou discusses the ‘hypocrisy’ of Iranian elites shipping their children to the U.S. while ordinary citizens are banned, as the Trump administration moves to strip residency from those with ties to Tehran. ”

Before decorously declaring Iran “unfit”, please tell me the U.S. delegate was pointing and laughing at the Iranian delegate, while saying:
“You got to be kidding! Right? You know, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis? Those guys!, Right?
I mean, why maintain decorum in the face of such absurd Pythonesque silliness?
Trump, rightly, thinks the U.S. should pull out of NATO, since NATO European nations have shown they’ve left NATO. They refused to consistently grant the U.S. air space flyover ability, refueling ability and landing at military bases etc. Throw Erdogan’s Turkey into the mix and what is the point exactly?
After acknowledging that NATO has left the U.S. the U.S. should make it formal and leave NATO.
Leaving the U.N. should be next. Aside from the U.S. not wanting to help terrorist kill more Americans – that prime real estate does not need to continue contributing to Mamdani’s NY City tax base and economy.
And as Wellington said, such Schadenfreude watching the deranged melt down

If the regime falls in time and Pahlavi’s transition team comes to power, there may yet be hope left for it
Rufolino says
This would be a joke if it weren’t so awful.
Captain Quirk says
It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so tragic. Total disqualification of the UN.
jerry glenn says
US out of UN. UN out of US.
KK says
The USA should withdraw from the UN, then close all the meeting places that they congregate at and kick all of them out of the country.
Classic Jeffersonian Liberal says
We live in bizarro world!
Michael says
Well after all, members of their Palestinian relief organization were among those on October 7. Let’s please never forget this, because as far as I’m aware the only thing that happened to these people is that they were fired from their jobs.
I don’t think it’s a mistake to see the UN as the “greatest sponsor of global terrorism.”
Noah Andeark says
In the 1980s animated film “Heavy Metal”, the UN was converted into low income housing. They also had their issues with “illegal aliens”.
