Commission on the Status of Women: The Council elected by secret ballot 13 members to four-year terms, beginning at the first meeting of the Commission’s sixty-third session in 2018 and expiring at the close of the sixty-sixth session in 2022: Algeria, Comoros, Congo, Ghana and Kenya (African States); Iraq, Japan, Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia and Turkmenistan (Asia-Pacific States); and Ecuador, Haiti and Nicaragua (Latin American and Caribbean States).
“Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch. “It’s absurd.”
Quote:
“I wish I could find the words to express how I feel right know. I’m ‘saudi’ and this feels like betrayal,” tweeted a self-described Saudi woman pursuing a doctorate in international human rights law in Australia.
The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.
The CSW is instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world, and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.
That's a Trump level appointment choice

Just more proof of what a friggin' joke the UN is. The UN is most useless organization on earth. If world peace is ever achieved, it'll be despite the UN, not because of it.
What in the flying ****? Sure, let's put a country whose government regularly oppresses women onto an international commission on female rights Just goes to show how much of a joke the UN is.
You can't judge a culture in cultural relativism. Cultures are the widely accepted beliefs and actions of a group of people. Therefore you can't judge the widely accepted beliefs and actions within Saudi Arabia pertaining to women.
Who are we to judge how Saudi Arabia treats women?
Besides look how sexist America is, Hillary just lost the election primarily due to sexism.
Only conservative Neanderthals would judge another's culture.

The Chinese eating dog meat is culture. Thai transsexual performing on the stage is culture. This is not culture.
That's not called culture when half the population is forbidden from driving, or even walking in the mall by themselves.
When you kid is repeated beaten by bullies at school, don't complain, because that's just part of American school culture.

This ^^^. When will the left finally admit that the U.N. is against their "supposed" values??
Will Trump have the courage to kick them out of our country or at least deny funding them?
Has Nikki Haley given a response to this yet?
