I write about geopolitics and the history of climate change on Substack The Climate Historian: https:// theclimatehistorian.substack.c om/ Being a bookworm, I tend to ramble about books or whatever else grabs my attention.

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women released its annual report. Of the 44 member states, 37 approved it. Six abstained: Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Mali, Mauritania, and Saudi Arabia.
And for the first time in seventy years, one country voted against it. This has never happened before. One solitary “NO.”
Which country was it?
The United States of America.
