Is This A United Nations Joke? Or An Iran Joke?

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) yesterday elected Iran to a four-year term, beginning in 2011, as a member of the Commission on the Status of Women. Lucky Iran! Or is it lucky women?

Other members elected were Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, and Zimbabwe, joining Belarus, China, Cuba, and Libya.

A full report can be read in today’s “EYE on the UN.”

So is not the U.N. a horrible joke?
