> UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer called Iran’s possible election to the U.N. Committee for Programme and Coordination “Orwellian.” The 34-member body helps shape how U.N. initiatives are carried out. Despite Iran’s documented record of human rights abuses and repression of women, its November election is widely expected to pass as a formality.
