Iran Press/ America: Zahra Ershadi gave the address at the UN meeting in New York on Wednesday, noting that Iranian women are intelligent, educated, selfless, and patriotic; hence, there is no need for Western countries to see themselves as their advocate and the false claimants of the Iranian women.
She pointed out that the countries, which pursue an anti-Iran human rights resolution, promote the dissemination of fake information, provocation of public opinion, training of sabotage, as well as financial and military support for terrorist groups under the guise of backing the rights of the Iranian women.
Addressing the UNGA Third Committee, the Iranian UN envoy stated that the Islamic Republic categorically rejects and condemns the draft resolution against Iran, which has been prepared based on unfounded data and biased treatment of a special rapporteur.
Ershadi condemns Canada's anti-Iran draft resolution
The UNGA Third Committee member states vote for a Canadian-proposed draft resolution on human rights in Iran every year. This year's draft resolution consists of unrest in recent weeks in the Islamic Republic.
Seventy-nine votes approved the draft resolution on human rights in Iran in favor, 30 against, and 71 abstentions.
Iran's delegate called the draft an "insincere political move" that exposes a deliberate policy of incitement to "Iranophobia," according to press.un.org.
Ershadi denounced that the cosponsors — Canada, the United States, and "the child killer Israeli regime," the leading proponents of racism, occupation, and despicable treatment of indigenous peoples — have come together to lecture others on human rights, the UN website reported.
