The United Nations Economic and Social Council voted through a secret ballot election on Thursday to allow Iran to join the women's rights commission for the next four years.

The goal of the Commission on the Status of Women is to promote gender equality and empower women worldwide. However, Iran has been known to consider women as second-class citizens, drawing questions about which nations supported the effort.

The Middle East country received 43 out of the 54 votes from the U.N.-member countries that attended the Economic and Social Council meeting.

Cluelessness? Disgusting cynicism?

UNExit - the US from the UN and the UN from the US.
