According to reports, an overwhelming majority of 125 countries have backed an unprecedented open-ended war crime investigation by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) against Israel, including into the 11-day Israeli deadly aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip earlier this year.

In May, the military of the Israeli regime bombarded the besieged Gaza Strip for 11 consecutive days, killing at least 260 Palestinians, including 66 children. In the aftermath of the brutal war, the 47-member UNHRC initially approved a probe into the crimes committed by the occupying entity against the inhabitants of the impoverished enclave.

Its broad mandate allows for a thorough probe into the human rights violations committed by the Israeli military on either side of the so-called Green Line, which includes Israel, the occupied West Bank and the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Later, Israel asked to defund the probe by excluding the money for the probe from the overall UNHRC budget.

The matter was put to vote before the 193-member UN General Assembly on Thursday night and Israel’s proposed amendment was massively rejected 125-8, with 34 abstentions.

Israel itself and the United States, as it was expected, were among the few that voted against the approval of a budget for that investigation.

Palestine calls on the ICC to expedite an investigation into the crimes of the Tel Aviv regime and extremist Jewish settlers in the occupied lands, and bring perpetrators to justice.

After the vote, Palestine’s Permanent Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour commended the vote and all UN member states that rejected Israel’s proposal, Palestine’s official Wafa news agency reported.

He also thanked the UNGA for approving all budgets of the programs relating to the Palestinian cause, including his request to increase funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

According to a human rights report, 91% of children in the Gaza Strip suffer from some form of psychological trauma after Israel’s latest war on Gaza.

Israel’s brutal siege on the Gaza Strip since 2007 has inflicted severe hardship on residents. The poverty rate among Gaza’s population has reached 53 percent, while “extreme poverty” stands at 33.8 percent, according to statistics by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).

About 68 percent of families do not have enough to eat, while 80 percent of Gazans are dependent on aid, and the area’s unemployment rate stands at 45.1 percent, according to PCBS.

Despite several anti-Israeli votes in the UN and international bodies, this fake country has always escaped any serious punishment from the international bodies and it seems this time also the result of such voting will be in vain because as usual the U.S. and its Western allies will come to the rescue of Zionists and will help this killer regime to survive any international punishment.

To punish the Zionist regime and to stop it from committing more crimes, the world should stand united in confronting this stubborn and criminal regime and to this end, they should first tame the supporters of this criminal regime and as long as the veto right exists, one cannot expect any punishment for the Zionists.

This passive attitude of the UN has emboldened Israel to continue its crimes and state terrorism and even they are rude enough to threaten other countries with attacks. A unity and consolidation among Muslims can be a solution for taming this savage regime and Muslim states, and first they should boycott Israeli products and services and cut any relation with this regime otherwise this regime will ride its horse in the region and in the world and such resolutions and useless probes are unable to stop this fake regime whose existence is ticking down.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the only Muslim country which has announced its stance firmly against this cancerous regime and it will continue its policy until the moment Palestinians get their rights and lands back and all efforts of the West for saving this regime are in vain and resorting to pretexts to save Israel are useless.

TEHRAN – Judiciary Chief said that Canada violates human rights and is a haven for the corrupt and criminals, adding that countries have realized that human rights have become seriously politicized and have become a tool to put pressure on independent countries.

Judiciary Chief Hojjatoleslam Seyed Ebrahim Raisi at a session of the Supreme Judicial Council said that the majority of countries did not agree with the so-called UN human rights resolution against Iran, which was founded by Canadians and, as usual, was supported by the United States, the Zionist regime and some Western countries.

“The United Nations is at odds with the Islamic Republic’s fight against drugs and traffickers, and on one hand it appreciates our actions and on the other hand it issues a resolution against us,” Raisi said.

“If we stop drug trafficking control and inspection, drugs will pervade all of Europe and the United States,” he said.

Raisi added as long as Basij is present and the spirit of Basij prevails in Iran, the enemy will not threaten this country.

He noted: “The spirit of the Basij can help the judiciary in advancing its missions in crime prevention, social pathology, harm elimination, dispute resolution and correction of criminals.”

Raisi stated that the mobilization of lawyers can help the judiciary in advancing its missions by educating the public and raising the legal awareness of the people.

The head of the judiciary added: “In any sector where the spirit of the Basij prevails, that sector will be efficient and successful, and we can overcome all the problems, conspiracies and seditions of the enemies.”

Raisi said: “Today, our medical and nursing staff has risen to fight the coronavirus and help the people with the spirit of Basij.”

He also hailed Iran’s medical sector’s personnel for their endeavors to help people to overcome the Coronavirus, and recommended health ministry officials to stay away from being involved in recent disputes. He also called for a collective work in the health ministry in using all research and scientific capacities for protecting the lives of the people.
