“As we have already witnessed, there are many basic flaws in these reports both in terms of nature and view. In Islamic Republic of Iran’s viewpoint, this report is invalid and worthless,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Friday.
Qassemi made the remarks in reaction to a new report by the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres that is scheduled to be presented at the 37th session of the UN Human Rights Council, which began on February 26 and lasts until March 23.
He said the content of the report includes invalid sources and information.
Guterres, who assumed office January last year, has in his previous reports accused Iran of a range of human rights violations.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said the UN chief’s latest report has “many flaws and shortcomings” as it is based on a “political and unfair resolution,” and is drawn up according to “inauthentic and totally incredible sources and data.”
The report has refused to take into cosideration progresses and moves taken by the Islamic Republic of Iran on human rights and is an unbalanced and biased report.
The will and firm resolve of the Islamic Republic of Iran is aiming at boosting citizens rights based on progressive principles of Islam and the Constitution.
