“While we acknowledge that there’s all the time room for enchancment, it is very important spotlight the selective, biased and hypocritical nature of this decision,” the Iranian envoy stated.
The full textual content of the assertion is under.
Mrs. Chairman,
The Islamic Republic of Iran firmly rejects unjust and politically motivated resolutions relating to the human rights state of affairs in our nation. While we all the time acknowledge that there’s room for enchancment, it is very important spotlight the selective, biased and hypocritical nature of this decision.
Mrs. Chairman,
Last yr, my former Canadian counterpart could not include his irritation once I talked about human rights violations in his nation and its allies. So let’s take a better have a look at Canada’s current efficiency.
On October 26, 2022, a brutal terrorist assault concentrating on pilgrims on the holy website of Shah Cherag in Shiraz martyred 15 harmless Iranians, together with ladies and kids, and killed 30 others. I used to be injured. On January 3, 2024, two terrorist bombings occurred close to the burial website of Iranian hero General Qassem Soleimani in Kerman, killing not less than 103 folks, together with kids and ladies, and injuring 211 others. . What was Canada’s response to the bloodbath of harmless Iranian ladies and kids by Daesh? Absolutely nothing! Just a deafening silence!
On June 28 and July 5, 2024, presidential elections have been held peacefully and efficiently in Iran and different nations. Canada was the one nation to ban elections. Despite Canada’s hostile coverage of stopping Iranians from taking part within the democratic electoral course of, a big variety of Iranians residing in Canada proceed to take action, together with by touring to neighboring nations to take part of their nation’s future. , took plenty of effort.
Given these actions, how can we belief Canada’s take care of human rights in our nation? In actuality, the Iranian folks will neither be joyful together with your insincere smile nor cry with crocodile tears. They perceive that it’s their unity and resilience that strikes the nation ahead, particularly relating to human rights. The authors of this decision are utterly ignorant about Iran’s folks, tradition, faith, and wealthy civilization. As a end result, Canada drafted an anti-Iranian decision out of vanity and ignorance, claiming to defend human rights in Iran with none actual help, particularly from Iranian ladies.
Mrs. Chairman,
The sponsors of this decision, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, openly help the Israeli regime’s heinous atrocities of usurpation and little one homicide. The United States will veto any decision or modification aimed toward halting killings and establishing an instantaneous and everlasting ceasefire in Gaza. Along with Germany, two of the most important arms suppliers to the Israeli regime help Israel militarily and are complicit in these battle crimes. Britain helps US coverage, justifying each crime dedicated by this regime for granted of self-defence, and the Foreign Secretary shamelessly refuses to explain what is going on in Gaza as genocide. Canada is both silent within the face of the continuing genocide within the Gaza Strip or is secretly sending troops to strengthen the Israeli regime beneath varied pretexts.
Mrs. Chairman,
Dear colleagues,
The bloodbath of ladies and kids, the horrific act of burning kids in entrance of their moms, is sufficient to trigger the German Foreign Minister to hurry to the Human Rights Council and the Third Committee with the core worldwide human rights treaties in hand and make a suggestion to everybody. Wasn’t it sufficient to do this? Should nations cross resolutions in opposition to Zionist fanatics?
Of course not! She won’t have the braveness to threat the income from arms gross sales to the Israeli regime for the sake of Palestinian ladies and kids. Or is the variety of kids mutilated day by day not reaching the specified quantity in Canada, which stays silent concerning the Israeli regime’s genocide? This is a really astonishing expectation from a rustic that has dedicated genocide in opposition to indigenous kids in its personal nation.
The brutal crackdown on lots of of college college students, professors, and employees who have been crushed and arbitrarily detained for daring to specific solidarity with Gaza is a stunning assault on the core of so-called “freedom of expression” and “freedom of meeting.” It exposes hypocrisy. Even refugees who dare to specific help for Palestinian freedom now face the approaching menace of deportation in some European nations, and these supposedly democracies are unlikely to guard their rights. It has been confirmed that that is restricted to circumstances the place it fits political pursuits.
The hypocrisy, blatant double requirements and selective software of human rights within the overseas coverage of Canada and its allies is aware of no bounds.
Finally, Mr. Chairman,
The Islamic Republic of Iran stays firmly dedicated to the promotion and safety of human rights. We will proceed to constructively cooperate and have interaction with the United Nations Human Rights Organization and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Based on the above, Mr. Chairman, I wish to ask you to vote on the draft decision. [L.41] I sincerely hope that our representatives vote no and select the best path.
