Iran’s election<\/a> to two major roles in the U.N.’s top body last week drew immediate objection from the U.S. and Israel, which condemned the moves as “absurd.”<\/p>\n

Tehran on Thursday was selected to sit as vice president on the General Committee for the 78th session, which will begin in September, as well as rapporteur for the General Assembly\u2019s committee on disarmament and international security.<\/p>\n

International allies like the U.S. and Israel flatly rejected the appointments and immediately sought to distance themselves from the decision to place Iran \u2013 which has come under international condemnation for its continued nuclear development, human rights violations and military aid to Russia<\/a> amid its war effort in Ukraine \u2013 in a top position on the General Assembly.<\/p>\n

Iran, along with 15 other nations, was elected to join the five permanent members of the Security Council \u2013 China, France, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S. \u2013 as the assembly\u2019s annual vice presidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It is a country that has repeatedly demonstrated a clear lack of respect for the U.N. charter and the authorities of various U.N. bodies,” U.S. Ambassador for\u00a0Management and Reform Chris Lu said during the U.N.\u2019s proceedings Thursday. “Iran cannot act as an honest broker in its role as vice president of the General Assembly because it has shown time and time again that it does not seek to enhance global peace and security but rather works against it.”<\/p>\n

Lu said the U.S. would continue to oppose any Iranian leadership position in the U.N.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s U.N. representative \u2013 who currently sits as one of the body\u2019s vice presidents for the 77th assembly \u2013 echoed the U.S. opposition and pointed out that\u00a0“Iran repeatedly threatens the State of Israel<\/a> using harsh anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric.”<\/p>\n

“It is totally unacceptable that the leadership of a Member State of the United Nations would call another Member State a cancerous growth and publicly call for its annihilation.\u00a0This is a blatant violation of the Charter of the United Nations,” the Israeli ambassador said, according to a U.N. recap of the hearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Tehran\u2019s election as a vice president was not the only appointment that caused concern last week.<\/p>\n

Iran was also elected to serve as rapporteur on the committee on disarmament and international security in a move the U.S. called “absurd beyond contemplation,” due to Tehran’s blatant violation of U.N. regulations surrounding ballistic and nuclear development<\/a><\/p>\n

“While we fully respect the prerogatives of the regional groups to select their candidates for U.N. offices, we ask the groups to consider those selections carefully and responsibly,” U.S. Ambassador Robert Wood said following the decision<\/a> Thursday. “It is absurd beyond contemplation that Iran would serve in a position of leadership on the General Assembly\u2019s committee on disarmament and international security.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wood also pointed out that not only is Iran ignoring international regulations when it comes to nuclear and missile disarmament<\/a>, but Tehran also continues to illegally funnel arms across the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s continued weapons smuggling to wars in Yemen and Syria has not only prolonged human suffering, violence and instability across the Middle East<\/a>, but has also led to proxy wars with major international players like Saudi Arabia and Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We call on the Iranian government to end its contravention of UNSCR 2231, to stop undermining international peace and security, and to cooperate fully with the IAEA. Until it does, we will continue to oppose Iran\u2019s attempts at leadership throughout the U.N. system,” Wood added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
