The membership of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the United Nations Commission on Women was removed following the illegal request of the United States to end this membership based on false claims and fabricated arguments using baseless narratives while contradicting the spirit and text of the United Nations Charter with 29 votes in favor.
On Thursday local time, in a speech at the conference of foreign ministers of the countries that are members of the Group of 77 in addition to China, Iran's ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani, said: "Multilateralism is still under severe pressure from all sides, and we saw a clear example of such danger yesterday at the Ecosoc meeting."
He added: "Unfortunately, once again, unilateral dictatorship, pure bullying, hypocrisy, abuse of political power, intimidation and coercion, as well as the use of double standards by America and its allies, overcame multilateralism, legal procedures and the rule of law, and as a result, the legal membership of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Women's Commission was unjustly terminated.
Iravani added: "Following this political adventure, the United Nations and its main organs and the basic values of the United Nations were attacked by the United States by weakening the principles of the Charter and manipulating the procedures of the Ecosoc."
Iran's ambassador to the United Nations stated: "Therefore, if we are really looking for a solution to global crises, we must stand against such unilateral and illegal actions, otherwise, sooner or later, all UN members will face the disastrous consequences of such an approach." 219
