Well duh, it must be Israel! Congrats to the governments of PM Harper and President Bush for being the two lone votes against.

Last Friday, March 9, 2007 the UN wrapped up its annual session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Guess where they found a violation of women's rights? Among the hundreds of thousands of women who are dead, dying, mutilated, displaced or raped in Sudan? Among the million female migrant workers cowering in the basements of Saudi Arabian villas from the taskmasters who stole their passports the minute they got off the plane? Among the women stoned and hanged for "adultery" in Iran? The millions of women forcibly aborted in China? The thousands murdered or forced to commit suicide for the crime of "dishonoring" their fathers and brothers across the Arab and Muslim world?
If you guessed "none of the above," then you'll enjoy coming on down to the UN. The UN's lead body charged with promoting and protecting women's rights identifies only one state as violating the rights of women in the world today – Israel.(Violating the rights of Palestinian women.) The vote was 40 for and 2 against (the United States and Canada).
Germany, on behalf of the European Union, gave a one minute "explanation" excusing its affirmative vote. It said: "we express our deep concerns for the impact on all women in the region including the Israeli women" – although Germany did not insist such language be inserted in the resolution itself. For 60 seconds, the representative of the country where millions of Jewish women and girls were murdered en masse not so long ago took notice of the Jewish mothers and daughters who have fallen victim to terrorism in the Jewish state. This is the moral corruption that the UN breeds within democracies like Germany. In the United Nations, an institution owned and directed by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the European Union grovels while the real abusers cheer.

Why am I not surprised?

Yup it’s always the Jews fault. Never up to anything but trouble. 
Even though most the Palestinians and even their government does not even recognise Israel or Israelis right to exist and so do many countries who voted for this motion or even treat their own people much worse. Good for Canada and the United States for standing up to the misguided UN.

Just another example why the UN, and it's comments are to be ignored.
They celebrated international womans day in Iran, untill the police beat the women off the streets. Not a worrd in the media about that.

There is something wrong. And half of those countries I know nothing about. So they could be in this group.

Disgusting, to say the least. What no condemnation of the Palestinian's males for hiding under womans skirts to elude capture on TV? I'd like to see the west severe ties with the UN and start our own organization.

RoK is South Korea
Democratic People's RoK is North Korea............ anyone else see the intense irony in that name?
Scrappy @ Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:55 pm
Oh yea it's irony alright, and I don't find it funny when a Islamic country deems Israel guilty of crimes against woman when Pakistan stoned two to death a couple of days ago. Regarding NK, who knows how bad it's there, it's not like anyone can monitor the treatment of woman and children.
ridenrain @ Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:29 pm
I doubt north korea has the energy to stone anyone. I just hope they fall before soylant green becomes a NK product

You guys still pay attention to the UN?
They're immaterial to people with common sense.

I do. It's a good rule of thumb: if you ever have a country that has Democratic Republic of... or People's Republic of.... then they are neither.

Naturally. You Canadians and Americans are inward-looking and insular and ignorant of much of the rest of the world even though there are many countries that are more important and influential than Canada.
And the US and Canada being the only ones to vote against this probably just shows Canada was being America's poodle in this instance whilst at the same time America was being Israel's poodle as always.
