TEHRAN, Dec. 21 (MNA) A member of Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has called foreign ministry to react about UN resolution.Mohammad Hassan Asafari told Mehr News that countries having good economic ties with Iran had voted for the UN human rights resolution against Iran.
Foreign ministry should act on the countries voting for the anti-Iranian resolution in the UN, he added, and that the first and foremost issue is that no country is committed to human rights as Iran such that religious minorities have representatives in the Parliament who defend their ethnic and minority rights.
Essentially, Islam is based on the fraternity and equality; Islam rejects the division of human according to color, race, and ethnicity; however, some countries lay claims to human rights while they do not respect human rights, Aasafari said.
It is a source of disappointment that such a resolution is agreed against Iran by countries who violate human rights. This is politically motivated and the west seeks a new scenario now that the nuclear issue is being solved. They would bring to the focus missiles, he added and that they try to contain us. The resolution is propaganda and a political leverage to which Mr.Ban Ki-moon should respond.
He should respond why his organization would not investigate crimes in Iraq and Syria; why France, the pioneer of liberalism and freedom, mistreats the immigrants. No other country has hosted the Afghan people than has Iran. We have received 2 million Afghan refugees, said the Parliamentarian.
About the countries that voted for the UN Iran resolution and had economic ties with Iran, he believed that the foreign ministry should investigate the issue and take necessary measures. Swaziland and Comoros are countries who voted for the UN anti-Iranian resolution and who benefited from the Islamic Republic of Irans lavish supports in economics.
