Why did none of the other 45 countries on the Commission for Status of Women (CSW) put forth candidates? That’s not rhetorical, it’s an actual question. There’s obviously outrage and that’s understandable - Saudi Arabia is not a good guidepost for gender equality. It’s just strange that there were no other candidates and no dissent (and the article doesn’t give any explanation).
Because this is a talk-shop, not a dictatorship? I’m not sure what the point of excluding them or even putting limits on their participation would be when they’re the ones that need to hear the conversation.
I genuinely think the failure of the American education system to educate on what the UN actual is, is very deliberate and indeed successful.

It’s a fairly passive aggressive way to put the spotlight on them.
-Billy constantly disrupts the class by making inappropriate comments about girls.
-Billy’s teacher decides to have a class discussion on the importance of a positive learning environment.
-Billy’s teacher assigns Billy the task of researching all the reasons this is important and leading the discussion.
-Billy is shamed into knocking it the hell off, but gets to feel important and heard.
-Next time Billy acts inappropriately we are able to pull up his own talking points to remind him how to behave.

They’re the ones that need to hear the conversation, but are they the ones to lead the conversation?
Do you understand that a conversation is not a lecture? They are taking their turn in a rotating chair position. It would be weird if they didn’t.
Do you?
This isn’t a conversation, this is a lecture, because you have nothing to contribute.
Hearing a conversation and leading it are two very different things. I’d suggest avoiding stones when speaking from a glass house…
