Leaked emails show that the Belgian delegation was instructed in advance to vote for the appointment of Saudi Arabia to the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), and to make sure its support was known to the Saudis, UN Watch reports.
The leaked documents, cited by Belgian news network 7sur7 and UN Watch, reveal that Belgian diplomats had been instructed to follow “clean slate” procedures and provide “support to the candidates for the various positions during the secret vote.”
Moreover, the cabinet of Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders wanted the delegation to seek the opportunity “to inform the various candidates, including Saudi Arabia” about its support, despite the vote being secret.
According to internal emails leaked on Friday by the Green Party, the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was informed of the vote at the 45-member UN body far in advance, and at least nine hours passed before it replied. Information about the US-called vote on Saudi membership in the commission was sent at 12:33am, and the ministry replied at 3:34pm. Given possible delays, “at the very least” nine hours had passed, UN Watch reports.

Look at it this way. The head-choppers are halfway there because they wear nightdresses. It’s only a short step to give them the operation to make them into women.
The sauds have been voted onto a committee with 44 other members….mostly pushing ,the lezbotransgender agenda…….the most likely outcome is they will wish they had never joined
Saudi Arabia is the only country that depends on its commodity.. take it away and it is a human rights desert. Although the world is grim i am glad i was not born in Saudi
The UN is an evil globalist NWO parasite. It is time to dismantle it. The US should at a minimum walk away from it, and throw it out of the US borders.
