TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iran�s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman slammed a UN resolution on the alleged human rights violations in the country, saying the resolution is based upon �biased and non-authentic� sources.
The UNGA approved the resolution based on a recent report by UN Human Rights Rapporteur on Iran Ahmed Shaheed.



In reply, Marziyeh Afkham condemned any �instrumental and political use of human rights against the independent states.�

�The Islamic Republic of Iran fundamentally rejects the introduction, adoption and content of such resolutions," she said.

"It is regrettable that the United Nations� human rights mechanisms and tools are abused by certain Western countries which are occasionally known as the flagrant violators of human rights inside and outside their own borders,� she added.

Afkham said Iran has already responded to the claims in the resolution �reasonably and by providing documents.�

She added that such a resolution on the basis on biased sources would have proved entirely unnecessary if those who drafted it had made decisions �impartially and had avoided double-standard attitudes.�
