The election of the Islamic Republic of Iran with 144 votes in favor of becoming a member of the UN Planning and Coordination Committee; Israel's protest and anti-Iranian organizations.
On Wednesday, November 11, the United Nations General Assembly elected the Islamic Republic of Iran as a member of the organization's "Planning and Coordination Committee" with 144 votes in favor in a secret ballot.
This committee is responsible for reviewing and coordinating the plans and priorities of the United Nations. Iran was previously nominated for this position by the United Nations Economic and Social Council in April.
This choice was protested by Israel and the "UN Observer" organization. Hillel Nuar, the CEO of this organization, described Iran's election as an "insult to justice" despite the accusations against Tehran.
