On April 20th, the United Nations elected Iran to a 4-year term on its Committee on the Status of Women. UN Watch is calling on U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield and EU states to condemn the UN's decision. Though the ballot was secret, UN Watch has determined that at least four of the fifteen EU and Western Group democracies on ECOSOC voted for Iran. UN Watch asked lawmakers to demand that their governments reveal how they voted. Iranian women's rights activist Masih Alinejad stated via Twitter that electing Iran to advocate women's rights is "surreal." She went on to elaborate on the fact that Iran is a country that treats women as second-class citizens. According to the UN, Iran will play an instrumental role by promoting women's rights and documenting the reality of women's lives throughout the world. The UN's decision to elect Iran sparked outrage among human rights activists. Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, compared electing Iran for advocating women's rights with "making an arsonist into the town fire chief."
