The United States draft resolution was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/iran-likely-be-ousted-un-womens-body-2022-12-14\/\">passed<\/a> after 29 countries voted in favor, with 8 against and 16 abstentions.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s role on the women\u2019s committee was challenged from the very start by opponents of the hardline regime who cited its record of oppressing and killing women.
