TEHRAN (Iran News) –Last week and on Wednesday and Friday, the United Nations had two sessions regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran and in both sessions, this so-called international body voted against Iran and actually condemned Tehran while it should at first have condemned some Western countries and Israel for violation of human rights than condemning Iran for its action against recent riots in the country.
Although in both sessions the member states voted against Iran, the results showed that there is no consensus on the West’s proposal against Iran and many countries are wise enough not to follow blindly what the West proposes and they vote and decide based on logic and reality than under the Western propagation and hype.
Reacting to Friday meeting of UN General Assembly, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said the resolution passed by the UNGA about human rights in Iran is “devoid of legitimacy,” urging the West to stop exploiting international mechanisms to further its political goals.
Nasser Kanaani made the comments in a statement early on Friday, a day after a resolution dubbed “Situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran” was adopted by 80 in favor and 29 against, with 65 abstentions.
Put forward by Canada and supported by European countries and the Israeli regime, the resolution “reflects the hypocrisy of its designers and is devoid of legitimacy,” Kanaani said.
“The hypocritical approach of sponsors of this resolution in exploiting international institutes to exert pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran is a clear example of abusing sublime human rights concepts and values to pursue short-sighted political objectives,” he added.
The spokesman said this is part of the efforts of Western countries to maintain the “Iranophobia project” and “psychological war” against the Islamic Republic.
The resolution accuses Iran of “disproportionate” use of the death penalty and “systemic discrimination and other human rights violations against women and girls.”
Sponsors of this resolution have violated “all fundamental principles of human rights” in the world, he said, urging them to stop accompanying the US’s economic terrorism against the Iranian nation and hosting terrorist groups instead of expressing “hypocritical” sympathy with Iranian people over human rights issues.
Respecting human rights is among religious and legal principles in the Islamic Republic, Kanaani said, noting that the country is “serious” in adhering to its international commitments with regard to human rights.
Kanaani also noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to hold dialogue and develop a constructive cooperation with all legitimate international mechanisms and countries based on mutual respect and non-discrimination to promote the status of human rights globally.
The new draft resolution came just days after Iran was ousted from the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) following a draft proposal by the United States over what it claimed to be “policies contrary to the rights of women and girls” in the country.
The 54-member UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) adopted the U.S.-drafted resolution to “remove with immediate effect the Islamic Republic of Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women for the remainder of its 2022-2026 term.”
On Wednesday, Kanaani condemned the anti-Iran measure as politically motivated and against the UN Charter.
Kanaani described the U.S.’s “malicious” drive against the Islamic Republic as an attempt by Washington to “impose its unilateral political demands” on the world body.
Of course Tehran is accustomed to such biased and unfair decisions and approvals against it, but the important thing is that the United Nations and its agencies should act fairly and support the truth and independent countries rather than acting as the agencies and arms of the arrogant states especially the West because it is gradually losing its credibility and countries are gradually distancing from these bodies.
The West and especially the U.S. has for decades tried to weaken the Islamic Republic of Iran and even resorted indirectly to regime change but what it has done has been in vain because Iranians themselves decide their own fate and history shows that Iranians will not bow down to any pressure and will not surrender under the aliens’ pressure and attack.
The Westerners are better to read the history of Iran and learn from the history that Iran is not a land to be easily occupied or surrender and they have to pay dear price for invasion and currently the Islamic Republic of Iran is in a such a position that no hostile country is able to think evil against it because Iranians with their strong determination and advanced weapons will expel any attack and will give a due lesson to anyone who thinks bad against their land.
So the West and predominantly the U.S. is better to stop such useless game and putting under countries under pressure for voting against Tehran in the international bodies and the UN is recommended not to act as the agency of the West because it will lose its reputation among the nations and its fate may be like what happened for League of Nations which had lost its effectiveness and reputation among the nations.
Since the U.S. has failed to bringing Tehran to its knees by threats and sanctions, it has resorted to new game of putting pressure on Iran by using these international bodies but Washington and its allies should know that the ship of Islamic Republic of Iran will sail safely to the shores of prosperity and grandeur and small waves of the enemies will be unable to stop this ship.
