Open House At The UN

When it comes to Iran, the UN continues to outdo itself.

October 2005:
The U.N. Security Council has condemned recent comments by Iran's president that Israel should be "wiped off the map" but did not say if the world body planned any action against Iran.
April 2006:
Under threat of United Nations Security Council sanctions for its own nuclear program, Iran has been elected to a vice-chair position on the U.N. Disarmament Commission, whose mission includes deliberations on preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.

Iran Death Judge Lands U.N. Seat On Human Rights

Iran's delegation to the U.N. Human Rights Council faces being isolated by the envoys of free nations this week after it emerged that its leader is one of Iran's most notorious censors and prosecutors of dissidents who the Canadians hold responsible for acquitting those who raped and murdered one of their female citizens.
Apparently Iran takes the UN as seriously as the UN takes Iran's nuclear threat.
What a pair.
