Majlis tasks Foreign Ministry to prevent human rights resolutions against Iran
TEHRAN, Nov. 30 (MNA) -- Lawmakers approved a law on Monday tasking the Foreign Ministry to step up efforts to prevent the adoption of human rights resolutions against Iran in international organizations.
According to the ratification, the Foreign Ministry is obligated to adopt “an active diplomacy” to stop the adoption of resolutions which claim human rights violations in Iran.
The ratification also requires the Foreign Ministry to deepen Iran’s friendly relationship with neighbors, promote unity among regional countries, implement confidence-building measures, and follow a détente policy in the international scene.
In its 65th session in New York in the current month the UN General Assembly adopted a human rights resolution against Iran, a move which provoked strong criticism from Iranian officials.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki called the move a politically motivated “puppet show” aimed at diverting world’s attention from widespread violation of human rights in the West.
