If this is a joke, it isn’t funny
While I was writing about the appointment of Zimbabwe to chair the UN commission for sustainable development I missed this:
Meanwhile, at the Disarmament Commission last month, Iran was elected to serve as vice chairman with Syria as rapporteur. Both countries are on the U.S. list of terrorist-sponsoring countries. Iran is currently defying U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program, and its election occurred on the same day that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad boasted in Tehran that his country had begun industrial-scale production of nuclear fuel.
One can argue what should be the policy regarding Iran’s nuclear aspirations but this is hardly the point here. The simple fact is that Iran adopted a strategy that includes armament of nuclear weapons, chairing the Disarmament Commission is a great place to prevent any UN efficient effort to block it.
If it wasn’t so sad, it could have been a great satire.
What next? North Korea as the chair of the Human Rights Commission?
