The United Nations, burdened by a far left political agenda, an antipathy toward Israel, and the accompanying ethics issues those include, nevertheless has cited Iran multiple times for human rights abuses.
That nation, after all, is considered to have executed tens of thousands of its own citizens because they protested the rogue Islamic regime in power.
Among the U.N. citations have been for extrajudicial killings, torture, arbitrary arrests, sexual and gender-based violence, suppression of freedom of expression and assembly, and more.
Now, in what the Jerusalem Post is calling a “hypocritical mockery of justice,” that same U.N. organization has named Iran to the Program and Coordination Committee, which shapes policy on women’s rights, human rights and counterterrorism.
“At the UN, absurdity has long since become the norm. In its various human rights forums – and even at their helm – one can find, over the years, some of the darkest and most brutal regimes: Gaddafi’s Libya (2003), Maduro’s Venezuela (2019), Sudan during the height of its genocidal ethnic cleansing (2004), Iran (until 2022, and again from 2023, less than a year after the killing of Mahsa Amini, who became a symbol of women’s resistance), and even Saudi Arabia – a country that required every woman to have a male guardian (2017, 2023, 2025),” the Post reported.
Its outrage continued, “Within this upside-down world, its committees, assemblies, and corridors, Iran operates skillfully, benefiting from an antisemitic climate that elevates it to the status of class leader. For years, this dark regime – one that slaughters its own citizens, oppresses its women, arms and funds terrorist organizations, tramples nations, and threatens the destruction of Israel – has been treated as a global leader in human rights, pulling strings within a confused body that is steadily losing its moral compass.”

A report at Fox confirmed a long list of “Western democracies” supported the appointment for Iran, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Australia.
“Critics warn the outcome could allow governments accused of human rights abuses to influence global policy and control which civil society groups are granted access to the United Nations,” the report said.
The United States was the only member state to formally break from consensus.
U.S. Representative to ECOSOC Ambassador Dan Negrea said, “The regime threatens its neighbors and has, for decades, infringed on the Iranian people’s ability to exercise their basic human rights.”
He said Iran is “unfit to serve.”
