Henhouse meet fox.

The United Nations is the single worst enabler of human rights abuses in the world even as it claims to protect human rights.
As UN Watch reports, the United Nations continues elevating Iran, China and other human rights abusers to leading positions in shaping and determining human rights findings and enforcement.
And Iran, the world’s greatest state sponsor of terrorism, in particular will be in a position to shape policy terrorism prevention.
On Wednesday, the UN’s 54-nation Economic and Social Council nominated the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN’s Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets next month to shape policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. ECOSOC’s nomination is effectively decisive, as the UN General Assembly customarily rubber-stamps such nominations without a vote.
In addition, ECOSOC by acclamation elected China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan to the influential Committee on NGOs, which oversees the work, accreditation and UN access of thousands of human rights and civil society groups that enjoy consulative status at the world body.
The United States was the only ECOSOC member to object, saying that Iran, Cuba and Nicaragua were “unfit.”
