In early November, US Vice President Kamala Harris said her country would work with other countries to remove Iran from the commission.
The representative initially responded White House National Security CouncilPresident John Kirby welcomed the “important” vote on Iran’s treatment of “peaceful protesters in your country” and “the women who initiated these protests.”

The countries that make up the Women’s Commission are elected by the UN Economic and Social Council, whose members, in turn, are voted by the General Assembly.
Iran has been rocked by protests since September 16, when Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian Kurdish girl who was arrested for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code, died in morals police custody.
Since then, authorities have made thousands of arrests as part of a campaign against what they consider to be riots. Iran’s judiciary has handed down 11 death sentences in connection with the protests.
