United Nations member states have removed Iran from a key UN women’s rights group just months after it joined.
Twenty-nine members of the UN’s Economic and Social Council voted in favor of a resolution proposed by the United States to “remove with immediate effect the Islamic Republic of Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women for the remainder of its 2022-2026 term.”
Eight member states voted against the resolution, and 16 abstained.
The 45-member Commission on the Status of Women, the UN’s premiere women’s rights group, was founded in 1946 and meets in March of each year to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment.
