News | Iran: UN Human Rights Council resolution political / China: Iran's issues internal

Pars Today – The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations Office in Geneva, in a statement, described the United Nations Human Rights Council's resolution on Iran as political and unacceptable.

Iran's Mission in Geneva stated in a release that the special session of the Human Rights Council on Iran is "devoid of genuine concern for human rights." According to Pars Today, Iran's Mission in Geneva emphasized: The sponsors of this action have never sincerely cared about the rights of the Iranian people; otherwise, they would not have imposed inhumane sanctions, which seriously violate fundamental rights, and would not have ignored the aggressive war by the Israeli regime—referred to as 'dirty work'—which has killed and injured over 5,000 Iranians. Iran's Mission in Geneva further clarified that Iran possesses strong, independent, and effective national accountability mechanisms and, therefore, rejects any pretext for politicized external interference.
