New York: Iran's Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Zahra Ershadi, has strongly criticized a resolution concerning human rights in Iran, calling it "unjust and politically motivated." The resolution, which was spearheaded by Canada, was discussed at a Wednesday meeting of the UN Third Committee, where it was passed with support from 77 countries, while 28 opposed and 66 abstained. A total of 22 countries were absent from the vote. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Ershadi addressed the committee, highlighting the biased nature of the resolution and questioning Canada's track record on human rights. She pointed out that while Iran recognizes the need for continuous improvement, the resolution's selective approach undermines its credibility. Ershadi also criticized Canada's silence over terrorist attacks in Iran and its decision to ban Iranian presidential elections on its soil, which she described as attempts to prevent Iranians from participating in the democratic process. Ershadi further accused Canada, along with the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, of supporting the Israeli regime's actions against Palestinians, alleging complicity in what she described as war crimes. She emphasized that the resolution ignores these issues and fails to genuinely support Iranian human rights, particularly those of Iranian women. Ershadi concluded by reaffirming Iran's commitment to human rights and expressed hope that the resolution would be rejected by the UN representatives.
