Secretary of the Islamic Republic of Iran's High Council for Human Rights criticized the political approach of some countries to the issue of human rights and the application of double and selective standards toward the issue, adding: "Unfortunately, some countries use human rights as a political tool against others."
He expressed hope that Finland would take a professional and independent approach in its new term as a member of the Human Rights Council.
The two sides also stressed the need to address the sinister phenomenon of terrorism, which threatens human rights around the world, as well as to protect the human rights of vulnerable groups such as women, children, and people with disabilities.
