“…It is only a propaganda against Iran and the Islamic culture, which has been drafted by certain Western governments by taking advantage of the weak and flawed structure of the United Nations for illegitimate political purposes and for instigating public opinion, spreading cultural incompatibility, stirring Islamophobia and promoting Western-Zionist unilateralism and monopolism,” the HRC said in a statement on Sunday.
Earlier this month, Ahmed Shaheed, the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights situation in Iran, allegedly accused the Islamic Republic of human rights violations.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran considers this UN action as unjustified from a legal standpoint, very weak and unacceptable from a technical standpoint, unfounded from a methodological standpoint, and scandalous from a moral standpoint,” the HRC said in the statement
The statement continued to ask why there is no special rapporteur for the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Canada and the “rogue” Zionist regime - all committing genocide and carnage - but there is a rapporteur for Iran, which has the biggest and the strongest democracy in the region.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has a clear Constitution as well as valuable civil penal code which could never be distorted by such propagandistic tactics as rapporteurship and misuse of international tribunes,” he added.
On June 17, 2011, the UN Human Rights Council, under pressure from the United States and its allies, named former Maldivian Foreign Minister Ahmed Shaheed as its human rights investigator on Iran.
Tehran insists that the appointment of a UN special rapporteur on Iran's human rights is a selective, politically-motivated and unacceptable move.
