UN's Bold New Hire: Mullahs to "Coordinate" Women's Rights and Counter-Terrorism
The CPC, for the uninitiated, is the high-level body that helps set the UN's priorities on everything from budgets and programs to gender equality, women's empowerment, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention.
The nomination sailed through with enthusiastic backing from a distinguished coalition of virtue-signalers: the United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, Finland and others.
Austria represented by its Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Gregor W. Kößler.
Kößler, a career diplomat born in Salzburg in 1969, is no newcomer to sensitive postings.
From 2012 to 2019, he served as Austria’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (with non-resident accreditation to Oman and Yemen).
During his seven-year stint in Riyadh, women’s rights remained heavily restricted.
He then briefly served as Director of Cabinet (Head of Cabinet) for two Foreign Ministers in quick succession in 2019–2020: first for Karin Kneissl, then for Alexander Schallenberg.
Ambassador Kößler, appointed by the Austrian ÖVP / Greens government, joined the progressive chorus in backing Iran’s expanded role.
The people of Austria are proud of this representation.
The United States, to its credit, was the lone voice of dissent.
Finally, with Iran now helping coordinate UN priorities on gender equality and human rights, women in the West can look forward to experiencing the same liberating freedoms currently enjoyed under the Taliban.
This development comes under the leadership of Secretary-General António Guterres, a man widely recognized for his commitment to liberal values - and, fittingly, a recipient of international honors celebrating them like the latest Atatürk award.
At some point, one has to ask what the United Nations is actually still for — other than lending credibility to those least inclined to uphold its values.
All of this funded primarily by Western democracies that claim to defend those very principles.
How long will voters in these countries remain willing to support such an arrangement?
