Israel for world peace!
America for workers rights!
Turkmenistan for world trade!

Unless it's just replaced with something objectively worse...which wouldn't be the first time in history something like that happened.

I can't find anything about their process.

There's really not much about it, the UN page is here: https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/gender-equality

Mostly they seem to have conferences every decade or so and occasionally declare a "International day for X". Seems like a PR kind of thing to me.

But at any rate it's a bad look for the UN. Indicates a dysfunction in the organization that whatever process they have allowed this to happen. I mean it looks like it's a PR campaign that actually makes them look bad. If Guterres was competent he'd shut the thing down entirely and start another one that didn't suck. But since he's an idiot and he will probably just say it's somehow Israel's fault.

Amnesty is not a news source.

It is providing news.

They are fundraising, here.

Their website has a donate button. This article doesn't ask for donations, although it does advertise another Amnesty report.

The UN's purpose is

"To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;"- United Nations Charter, Chapter I: Article 1: Section 1

the other sections reference international friendship and equal rights, but section 1 is the meat f why it exists, the UN was created after two World Wars, it's primary goal is to prevent a third and has so far been overwhelmingly successful.

I'd rather the assholes of the world think they're accomplishing something by writing bullshit resolutions rather than dropping bombs.

We just have to not take the UN seriously while still having the authoritarian assholes think the UN is serious business.

The Security Council is the only thing that ever really mattered anyway. Having the nuclear powers have to sit in a room together is important. The General Assembly has always been a clown show.

We have a bunch of alliances between democracies (NATO and other alliances) and the security council because we have to negotiate with the authoritarians with nukes. The minor despots can have the UN General Assembly to clown around in. Better to have petty narcissistic dictators throw their tantrums in the UN GA rather than expressing their feelings with their military.

Oh oh, let's appoint an atheist to the board of Islamic affairs!

Weren't they head of the human rights council?
