US announces before the United Nations that it will lead the effort to finally expel the Islamic Republic of Iran from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission.
The United States will try to remove Iran from the 45-member U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) over the government's denial of women's rights and brutal crackdown on protests.
“Every day, we see more and more how little Iran respects women’s rights and human rights, and so we commend political leaders and lawmakers in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands for supporting the removal of this moral obscenity, which is casting a shadow upon the reputation of the United Nations as a whole,” said Neuer.
