Seraj emphasizes the protection of the rights of the Iranian people in international arenas
The first meeting of the new Secretary-General of the High Council for Human Rights was held with representatives of more than 20 non-governmental organizations who have consultative status.
HCHR_Naser Seraj, the Vice President for International Affairs of the Judiciary and Secretary-General of the High Council for Human Rights, referred to his experiences from participating in various international meetings, especially during his tenure as the Head of the General Inspectorate of the Country, and emphasized the role and importance of the activities of NGOs in the aforementioned meetings and reminded them of the lack of participation and activity of Iranian organizations.
Seraj expressed his satisfaction with the concern and active participation of the NGOs with consultative status in various human rights mechanisms, including the Human Rights Council meetings. While wishing success to NGOs participating in international meetings, he called on the representatives of the NGOs present at the meeting to use all available capacities to present the realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the world, and by showing the true face of Iran, neutralize the slander and malicious propaganda of arrogant regimes and protect the rights of the Iranian nation in international arenas.
He continued: "Many Iranians abroad wish to return to the country, but this bad propaganda discourages them from returning. We have a fundamental flaw in the introduction of our country and its realities." The Vice President for International Affairs of the Judiciary and the Secretary-General of the High Council for Human Rights concluded by noting that the HCHR will always support the efforts and actions of the NGOs and will try to remove the obstacles and challenges they face.
