The status of women in Iran is well known.

Just below that of donkeys, but before dogs.

They're trolling us now, aren't they? :roll:
1. They are not 'leading'
2. It's the CSW, not the CSR
3. You sould stick to media outlets that can actually get the name of the organisation they are reporting on correct
4. It's not the fist time Iran has been 'elected', nor Saudi Arabia, or the Congo etc etc
5. It's done on a regional rotational basis, when it comes to the Middle East you're not exactly spoilt for choice where states upholding womens' rights are concerned
6. Iran is a member of the UN, hence having representation and being allowed to contribute
7. It's doubtful, but they might actually learn something :thumbup:
