How about they deal with actual fucking oppression in the ME/elsewhere?

My first thought too. Such a cop out, going for easy targets like this. I find these games tacky and tasteless but banning them when there's actual repression and horrible abuses of women in cultures around the world makes the UN look petty, irrelevant, and ridiculous.

While I agree that there are more pressing concerns , that doesn't mean that other issues whether right or wrong can't have there own agenda.

I'm sure the UN has hundreds of commitees covering a wide range of subjects,  and out of these come reports , some useless, some biased others trivial ,along  side these are some important reports and for all it's many faults, it has a legacy of  humanitarian and social reform that's not to shabby , after all where talking about a large group of nations with disparate and quite often opposing viewpoints, controlled at the top by a veto wielding elite.

The fact is these PC brain fades make for better headlines than something like, the annual report into the alleviation of curable blindness in 3rd world countries or some such document.
