Dictatorships elected to top U.N. posts
BREAKING: The Islamic Republic of Iran was just elected Vice-President of the U.N. General Assembly, for a one year term starting September 5. This is a regime that defies U.N. arms embargoes, tramples the human rights of its own citizens, and foments terrorism across the globe.

Appointing the Islamic Republic of Iran to head a U.N. human rights forum is like putting Jeffrey Epstein in charge of a Girl Scout troop.https://t.co/tyTScRpBTh

Everyone: it can’t get any more ridiculous than Iran being assigned to chair a UN Human Rights Council forum
The UN: hold that thought https://t.co/c0EGkQGSwe

The inmates are running the asylum. Past month alone:
🇮🇷 Islamic Republic of Iran appointed Chair of U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum
🇰🇵 North Korea elected to U.N.’s World Health Organization Executive Board
🇶🇦 Qatar elected Chair of U.N.’s International Labor Conference https://t.co/ci5q5dPxrG— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) June 8, 2023
On this day in 1945, 50 nations came together in San Francisco to sign the UN Charter and create a world body for peace and human rights.
On November 2, 2023, the Islamic Republic of Iran will become Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum.
Happy UN #CharterDay.

BREAKING: Qatar, which caused 7,000 migrant workers to die laboring for the FIFA World Cup, was elected to head the @ILO's International Labor Conference. Right after the New York Times exposed Qatar's $25 million influence campaign to silence the ILO on its abuse of workers. pic.twitter.com/xvbzZrPRXF

Bravo to USA for condemning Iran's election as a VP of the UN General Assembly, and for pledging to “continue to oppose Iran’s leadership throughout the UN system.”@AmbUNReform Chris Lu: “The United States dissociates from the election of Iran as a Vice President of the 78th… https://t.co/nGnxavi373 pic.twitter.com/XodhVNJpbw

Iran regime elected to UN Committee on Disarmament & International Security. The criminals who trample their own people, violate UN Security Council resolutions, arm Russia with 400 UAVs to bomb Ukraine civilians, fail to cooperate with IAEA & foment terrorism at home and abroad. pic.twitter.com/5YzavvtfCh

My op-ed: “Irony died at the UN a long time ago, but now the Islamic Republic of Iran is dancing on its grave. Racing for nuclear weapons and fomenting terrorism worldwide, Tehran was elected to the UN Committee on Disarmament and International Security.” https://t.co/aEQrT6Teyy

Anti-Israel bias at the U.N.
⚡ Caught on Hot Mic: Navi Pillay and Chris Sidoti, members of the UN's anti-Israel inquisition, unaware their conversation before today's press conference was being recorded, laugh about how they ran out the clock to avoid answering our questions about their bigotry and bias. https://t.co/i2YDVwO5Fd pic.twitter.com/7QQ9uWScAb

The Islamic Regime in Iran
“Don't say this is our culture—women kicked out of school if they don't cover themselves. It is an insult to say that. This is the culture of the Islamic Republic of Iran and of the Taliban. We need a Women's March—for the women of Iran and Afghanistan.” @AlinejadMasih #OsloFF pic.twitter.com/NhMKIRrwqE

No joke: The mollahs are holding an exhibition right below the U.N. Human Rights Council of “Iranian women’s fashion design.” Same people who poison schoolgirls and beat, blind, rape, torture and kill women who protest. Women's fashion design! #بیشرفhttps://t.co/DWDJz5SyRZ pic.twitter.com/NnMRU3vtfJ

I have a question for Iranians: is this dress — which the Islamic regime will be displaying at the United Nations Human Rights Council in their upcoming propaganda exhibit below — something that their morality police would allow women to wear in public? https://t.co/qMf1agWVGv pic.twitter.com/5EcZiQSGc3

Remembering Tiananmen Square
Today marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, when the Communist regime sent tanks to trample peaceful pro-democracy protesters. Their bravery will not be forgotten, including the man who stopped a column of tanks.

Fighting Dictatorships
Senator McCain displayed a photo of Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza on the Senate floor after he was targeted by Putin in 2017. This, said Kara-Murza, helped to keep him alive. Now he's in prison and again at grave risk. Let us follow McCain's example & keep Vladimir alive. pic.twitter.com/drfXRBSB1t

In Caracas, Managua and Havana, Iran's tyrant visits his friends, who all torture dissidents to retain power. But I'm here in Oslo with the defenders of human rights who have also gathered: Masih Alinejad, Carolina Barrero, Leopoldo López and Félix Maradiaga. Freedom will win. https://t.co/p7O3l5247G pic.twitter.com/If4VBjIQSo
