Iran to chair next UN human rights forum, despite oppression of its own citizens – UN Watch director Hillel Neuer has been leading an international campaign against Iran’s appointment as chair of the Human Rights Council; he says the UN doesn’t learn – ‚A cruel regime does not belong on any UN human rights body, let alone as chair‘ | ynetnews

Iran will become the next chair of a UN human rights forum on Thursday, despite its substantial records of oppression, torture and violence used against its own citizens. The UN’s failure to distinguish between procedure and logic has sparked an international protest campaign from human rights activists, calling out Teheran as ill-suited for the post.
