UN picks Saudi Arabia to lead women’s rights forum despite ‘abysmal’ record
The UN does a great job at making itself more irrelevant every day:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/ ... commissionSaudi Arabia has been chosen as the chair of the UN commission that is supposed to promote gender equality and empower women around the world, after an unopposed bid for leadership condemned by human rights groups because of the kingdom’s “abysmal” record on women’s rights.

I wonder if this is an early April Fool's joke?

One would hope so, but it seems real. Not comprehensible, for me at least. I guess it is all politics, but it is a sad state of affairs when even the UN makes it clear that they do not give a flying eff about women's rights.
