Soddy Barbaria, a hotbed of women’s rights? But of course! As long as the corrupt UN cretins get their palms greased, they will go along with any savagery.
U.N. Gives Saudi Arabia Leadership Role on Women’s Rights Commission
Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Abdulaziz Alwasil, was elected as chair of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on Wednesday – a decision that angered human rights groups due to what Amnesty International’s Sherine Tadros described as the “abysmal” record of Saudi Arabia.
Tadros told the UK Guardian on Wednesday that Alwasil is poised to be the CSW chairman on the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration, a landmark action plan for improving women’s rights around the world. She found this unacceptable because Saudi Arabia’s record is “a far cry from the mandate of the commission.”
“Saudi Arabia’s election as chair of the UN Commission on the Status of Women shows shocking disregard for women’s rights everywhere,” said Human Rights Watch (HRW) U.N. Director Louis Charbonneau.

“A country that jails women simply because they advocate for their rights has no business being the face of the U.N.’s top forum for women’s rights and gender equality,” Charbonneau said, suggesting the Saudis should immediately release all women jailed in this manner and abandon remaining discriminatory laws to demonstrate their fitness to chair the CSW.
Charbonneau added that he was puzzled and angry that no other governments objected to Alwasil’s chairmanship. Saudi Arabia lobbied for the chair in a blatant effort to improve its image. Alwasil was elected by “acclamation” on Wednesday, meaning no one ran against him or objected to his chairmanship.
