Saudi Arabia is notorious for a lot of things, and none of them are good. The nation is known for exporting radical Islam across the world, beheading people for non-violent offenses, muzzling free speech, and of course, treating their women like second-class citizens. So of course, Saudi Arabia should be allowed to send representatives to the UN’s women’s rights commission.
Believe it or not, that actually happened last week. 47 members of the U.N. Economic and Social Council voted via secret ballot to allow Saudi Arabia to join a panel of 45 nations that run The Commission on the Status of Women, an organization that is supposedly dedicated to defending women’s rights around the world. Five of those nations belonged to the EU.
