Iran refuted UN resolution on human rights as politically motivated

Almaty. November 17. Silkroadnews - Iran has refuted the UN resolution on human rights as politically motivated, the Iranian Telegraph Agency (IrTAG) said referring to Tasnim News Agency.
“Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected as unacceptable a new resolution by the UN Third Committee that voices concern about the status of human rights in Iran, saying support for such a politically motivated resolution from war criminals and sponsors of terrorism has discredited it,” the report said.
“The support of a number of the most notorious violators of human rights and war criminals and sponsors of terrorism, violence, and extremism for the UN’s latest resolution is only one of the main reasons showing why the resolution is invalid,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said.
According to him, the selective and politically motivated use of the human rights concept by Western countries against the independent states of the world is an unlawful approach and has no other result but undermining the supreme status of human rights.
Iran is a system based on religious democracy, which has always sought to support human rights and seriously fulfill its international commitments. The country is ready to seriously establish dialogue and constructive cooperation with any other side interested in promoting human rights for the mutual respect and justice and without political manipulation in legal international mechanisms, Qassemi stressed.
