Iran was voted off the U.N.'s Commission on the Status of Women on Wednesday, but some critics claim that the world body must do more to punish Tehran.
Protesters gather around burning rubble in the streets of Iran.
NCRI told Fox News Digital that the U.N. should go even further and eject Iran from the entire organization, referring to Article 6 of the U.N. Charter, which states that"a member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council.
U.N. Secretary General António Guterres deferred comments on membership to the organization itself, but he"believes all member states need to live up to their commitments enshrined in the charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," spokesman Stéphane Dujarric told Fox News Digital. Dujarric added that Guterres"subscribes" to UNICEF’s message on the issue of child deaths in the protests, and he will"continue to speak out on these issues."
