Iran has been removed from the United Nations women’s body, a move pushed by the United States as the Iranian government continues to repress protests across the country.
The 54-member UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) voted on Wednesday to adopt a US-drafted resolution to expel Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women, accusing Iran of systematic violations of women’s rights.
The vote passed 29-8, with 16 abstentions, and applies to the remainder of body’s current term, from 2022 through 2026.
