Mohammad Javad Larijani said
asserted during his visit to Geneva "We as a Muslim country and part of the
great society of world Muslims have the equally given right to have a lifestyle
based on Islamic rationality and our own precious culture.”
Considering Ahmed Shaheed’s
fourth report as a biased action, Larijani said "Acts like this not only
disregard the internal capabilities of the system, but it also leads the
atmosphere toward polarization and politicization of human rights in the UN.”
Head of the High Council
for Human Rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran who visited the European UN
base in Geneva asserted that such resolutions selectively target countries,
degrading human rights mechanisms to the level of political gadgets for
powerful countries.
Larijani pointed to the UN
High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay in during the 22nd session of
the Human Rights Council in Geneva and said "I totally agree with her on the
universality of human rights supervision and the refutation of selective
approach to countries as well as the misappropriation of UN human rights, and I
believe the two parallel and repetitive procedures of reporting in the General
Assembly and the Human Rights Council that were designated to report on human
rights in my country suffice to testify on the malignity of the act.”
Addressing the opening of
the 22nd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, UN High Commissioner
for Human Rights Navi Pillay said that despite significant progress over the
past two decades on issues such as the elimination of violence against women
and tackling impunity for international crimes, there continue to be systematic
human rights violations around the world, the UN website reported.
