An email from UN Watch brings an unpleasant revelation. A recent UN cmte. vote approved a censure of Iran's civil rights violations by a very narrow margin. Iran's motion to take no action on the censure lost by a margin of 10 votes out of 180.
A plenary vote on the censure is expected in December.
