This is simply unbelievable:
United Nations Commission on Disarmament on Tuesday elected Iran as deputy for Asian nations.
The UN Commission opened its annual meeting on Monday which will work until April 28.
The UN Commission on Disarmament which is subsidiary organ of the General Assembly will review disarmament and international security.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This organization is beyond worthless, it should be dismantled brick by freakin brick.

As you know from American Future, even the US representative voted for Iran.
So why do you blame the UN?
For me ?the UN” should be criticized for what UN organisations like UNICEF, UNDP or the UN Secretary General do. They act on behave of the UN. They make some of their own decisions. They are not merely tools of the UN member states.
Regarding the election of Iran to this UN commission, I would rather criticize those countries, who voted for Iran.
AFAIK every country has one vote. Every country sends some representatives to the UN and they vote according to their national preferences.
I think the UN are just the forum, like the US Senate. When you don?t like the results of a US Senate vote, I am sure you criticize the Senators who voted the wrong way. Or do you then also criticize the entire Senate, incl. those Senators who voted the way you wanted them to?
You could cut foreign aid to all countries who voted the wrong way or call in their ambassadors. That would be more effective than criticizing “the UN.”
If you really don’t like the UN, just pull out.
Put a notice on your blog and sign a petition that the U.S. should pull out of the UN. Or call for kicking the UN out of NYC, if you really think the UN does not serve your national interestes.
