Iran Press/ Iran news: Highlighting the prejudices and hasty judgments in the resolution aimed at undermining the human rights achievements in Iran, Nasser Kanaani described as “regrettable” the exploitation of UN mechanisms by some member states to achieve their political goals and the manipulation of human rights for political purposes.
“The countries that violate the rights of other nations cannot claim to be advocates of human rights or make judgments about it, and they must rather be accountable for their own crimes with regards to the gross and systematic violations of human rights in their countries and other countries of the world,” the spokesman noted.
Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva also condemned Western governments for using human rights as a political tool against the Islamic Republic following the UN Human Rights Council’s approval of an anti-Tehran draft resolution.
