I dont really know anything about WIPO. Its this surprising? Or is announcement similar to 'Darth vader appointed as new head of the Empire' ?

i think its more like north korea heading the UN commission on human rights.

Saudi Arabia is chairing the United commission on human rights currently. Pretty crazy eh?

It's the human rights council now, but you're right. Didn't think the UN was a particularly effective body at any rate, but that's ridiculous.

I'm not sure ridiculous is strong enough here..
