Is this UN Committee REALLY concerned about women's rights????

Of course, the only player violating women's rights is Israel....

The following statement by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women was issued today in Geneva:

"The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women is deeply concerned about the recent military engagement in Gaza between Israel and the Hamas (January 2009) which has resulted in heavy civilian casualties and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza including the killing and injuring of a large number of women and children.

The Committee calls on the parties to the conflict to fully implement the current ceasefire and to comply with Resolution 1860 of the Security Council.

The Committee recalls that international human rights and humanitarian law apply in all circumstances and at all times and to all parties involved and that the right to life should be respected even in the course of hostilities. The Committee notes with deep concern that the human rights of women and children in Gaza, in particular to peace and security, free movement, livelihood and health, have been seriously violated during this military engagement.

Does this committee ever get concerned about the treatment of women in Islamic societies like Gaza???
