ran's Deputy Judiciary chief for international affairs and Iran's High Council for Human Rights Secretary said that appointing a Special UN human rights rapporteur for Iran is politically motivated, and an instrument to impose political pressure against a few countries.
In meeting with United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet on the sidelines of the 49th UN Human Rights Conference on Human Rights in Geneva, Kazem Gharibabadi said that the appointed UN rapporteur on Iran by preparing unreal reports, has practically been turned into a political instrument that acts beyond the entire defined rules of the Un human rights rapporteurs, and enters fields which are contrary to his defined duties.
He emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s will to improve the level of observing the human rights is based on the Islamic Republic of Iran Constitution and the rules in Islamic jurisprudence, and the new Iranian government and Judiciary Force have both made certain practical moves that are quite tangible in improvement of the human rights.
Gharibabadi said that the Universal Periodic Review is the best way to improve the level of observation of the human rights in countries.
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a unique process which involves a review of the human rights records of all UN Member States.
Gharibabadi said that in addition to the UPR, the Islamic Republic of Iran had during the course of the past 18 months prepared a report on its observation of the UN 2020 proposals on observation of the human rights, which will be presented to the ongoing UN Human Rights Council.
He said that the Special UN Rapporteur has been turned into a channel dispatching the false news of the terrorist groups, whose hands are stained with the blood of the Iranian nation.
“That terrorist group’s members are now freely frequenting in the capital cities of those countries that have contributed to the drafting of the UN Rapporteur’s resolution, acting against the Iranian nation,” he added.
Gharibabadi presented a long list of 12,000 signatures by the people who have been harmed due to the terrorist acts of the MKO members.
He said that the MKO has assassinated over 12,000 innocent people in Iran and has still preserved its terrorist nature, but unfortunately its members freely frequent in Europe and America, planning and guiding their new terrorist acts.
Gharibabadi on Monday attended the UN High Commission on Human Rights and elaborated on Iran’s stance for that council’s members.
