In a statement on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi deplored the adoption of the resolution on human rights against Iran by the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly, saying it reflects the hypocrisy and two-facedness of its propitiators and therefore lacks legitimacy and credibility.

The spokesman said the modern day criminals, who are proponents and supporters of this resolution, have committed any crime against humanity including killing children, mutilating of the critics and economic terrorism against free and independent nations have nothing to do with human rights.

“Governments, which have a long history of systematic human rights abuses, and people around the world remember the bitter and excruciating experiences of their interference, and today are the victims of endless wars and dictatorships and the occupation of (these governments’) allies, are not in a position to give the Iranian government and people human rights recommendations,” Mousavi added.

He also called the resolution unrealistic and unidirectional, adding that the resolution is adopted against Iran while one of its main sponsors is the United States.

The spokesman said the US is violating the most fundamental rights of more than 83 million Iranian citizens, especially women, children, the elderly and patients through economic terrorism against the Iranians.
