Iran to Chair UN Human Rights Forum on Thursday, Sparking Protests GENEVA, October 30 — Iran will become chair of a UN human rights forum on Thursday, sparking an international protest campaign from human rights activists who say Tehran’s record of oppression, torture and executions make it ill-suited for the post. The regime was appointed in May by the president of the UN Human Rights Council. EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell defended Iran’s appointment as a matter of regional rotation, “in consistency with established UN procedures.” But UN Watch research shows in fact that the Asian group, to which Iran belongs, has held the position four times in the past six years, denying rotations to several other regional groups. Iran’s appointment can be overturned by a special meeting of the council before Thursday, said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, an independent non-governmental human rights organization based in Geneva, which has drafted a resolution for countries to adopt. UN Watch has been a leading voice at the United Nations on human rights in Iran. UN Watch’s campaign is backed by a global petition signed by more than 90,000 people, calling on the UN to overturn Iran’s chairmanship of the UN human rights forum. “We are calling on Mr. Borrell to take action. It’s time for all democracies at the UN to stop legitimizing murderous regimes, in violation of the world body’s founding principles, and instead to begin holding the perpetrators to account,” said Neuer. “The murderous regime in Tehran is responsible for a surge in executions, disproportionately applied to minorities, and for oppressing women and girls. The recent death of 16-year-old Armita Geravand, after being assaulted on the subway by the Iranian morality police for not wearing the compulsory hijab, is a reminder that this is a cruel regime that does not belong on any UN human rights body, let alone as chair.” “It is unimaginable that on Thursday at the UN human rights council, Ayatollah Khamenei’s representative will be holding the gavel, with UN human rights chief Volcker Turk and other dignitaries at his side,” said Neuer. These appointments send the wrong message at the wrong time, enabling the Islamic Republic of Iran — even as it is shooting protesters in the face, raping human rights defenders in prison, and sponsoring Hamas atrocities — to strut on the international stage as a respected and influential actor.” “No less, the regime is able to proclaim victory to its people — witness the instant declarations in state-controlled Mehr News Agency and Islamic Republic News Agency — in order to dishearten, dispirit and demoralize dissidents,” said Neuer. https://unwatch.org/iran-to-chair-un-human-rights-forum-on-thursday-sparking-protests/

Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer I asked the UN: “Why did you name the Islamic Republic of Iran as Chair of the UN Human Rights Council Social Forum, starting on Nov. 2nd? How can you elevate a regime that beats, blinds, tortures & rapes women who demand their rights? Where is the logic? Where is the morality?” https://twitter.com/HillelNeuer/status/1719004847310037477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1719004847310037477%7Ctwgr%5Effd2a3878fdd865d1b9bfa16584d14faf0bd558b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Funwatch.org%2Firan-to-chair-un-human-rights-forum-on-thursday-sparking-protests%2F

The UN is a farce, captured by evil forces, headed by a Portugese commie puppet.

It's about time, leftards. We need tough leaders. Iran should appoint someone from Hezbollah.

They're actually quite smart, no? After Iran has a go, we can put North Korea in. Kim's a great guy, he loves his country. And Vlad - even better.

Don't lose hope, old boy. If we get the right guy in the White House, this is our destiny.

Stand back and stand by, mkay?

You could not make this poo up. Time for the civilised world to abandon the UN altogether. The US should give their headquarters the boot, maybe they could set up in Iran or some other shithole to be closer the those they claim to represent. 

The General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 66/281 of 12 July 2012 proclaimed 20 March the International Day of Happiness.


So make sure you are happy today or Iran will have something to say to you... oh, yes. Tsk, tsk  ::) ::)

It's something called 'democracy'. You bring in nations to the United Nations who are the nations that are brought in. People. It's about people. Right people and wrong people. Whites and all colours, all jabbering away and having opinions. Like ..um ozpolitic

I agree it couldn't be more obvious that the UN is past it's use by date ... when it elects a Chair from an Islamic hardline fundamentalist country with a virtual Islamic dictator who openly abuses it's own citizens human rights and funds terrorism around the globe.

Lunacy.

Half the world is past its use by date.
'Hullo Mr Albanese, we want $300,000 of iron ore, please, (peace be to Mahummad)'.
'Iran ? um .. no sorry, you're out of date. Have you tried Haiti or Gaza, they have scrap metal'.

So an informed populace would vote an Ayatollah as Australian Prez with absolute power?

We have enough trouble keeping the current gangs of usurpers under control with their destruction of democracy and its replacement with their government by decree, and that's just here..... the process is so slow most of you scarcely notice.

Who is this Ayatollah of whom you speak, with such graceful words of the wise? Is he a true Imam of the south and light to the sons of the prophet (p b u h).

donny will pull their funding

no more money for the UN or E Jean

both are dysfunctional

So is federal Oz and the united states in America. What's your point?
