Tehran (IP) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman reacted to the Canadian-proposed resolution approved by the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic, terming it as the political exploitation of human rights.

Iran PressIran News: In reaction to the resolution proposed by Canada and supported by the US as part of their propaganda and political campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Nasser Kanaani termed it as the repetition of unfounded claims based on misinformation and untrue generalizations.

The Iranian official rejected the resolution, terming it unauthorized.

"Such nonconstructive measures not only do not help to promote the human rights situation globally but merely perpetuate the resorting to negative stereotyping and political labeling against sovereign states," he noted.

West has history of systematic violation of human rights

Kanaani referred to Western states' attempts to resort to Iranophobia and defaming Iran and stated that these countries, which have a long history of systematic violation of human rights and people around the world remember bitter experiences of their interference, are not in a position to give human rights advice to the Iranian government and nation.

He called the resolution biased and unrealistic.

"The step taken by the Canadian government and its proponents is the quintessential example of abusing high values of human rights for advancing political short-sighted objectives," the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman underlined.

He pointed out that the draft resolution lacked authenticity and validity and condemned it.

Noting that the Islamic Republic is a system based on religious democracy, Kanaani added that Iran has always been quite serious in promoting human rights and fulfilling its international commitments.

"Iran is ready to have constructive dialogue and cooperation in the framework of mutual respect, equality and justice, and away from political excessive demands with all legitimate international mechanisms with countries interested in strengthening and supporting human rights in accordance with its principled policies," he concluded.
