Tehran Dismisses European Parliament Resolution Against Iran as Legally Baseless

The recent resolution passed by the European Parliament regarding Iran has sparked significant controversy. The Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Human Rights and Women’s Affairs Department has condemned this resolution, asserting that it lacks any legal foundation and reflects a politicized approach.

Marzieh Afkham, the Director General of the department, expressed her concerns on Saturday, following the European Parliament’s decision to criticize what it termed the systematic repression of human rights, particularly women’s rights, in Iran. She emphasized several key points regarding this issue:

  • Irresponsibility of the Resolution: Afkham labeled the resolution as irresponsible, asserting that Iran’s judiciary operates independently and professionally.
  • Judicial Integrity: She noted that judicial proceedings in Iran are conducted in accordance with established laws and with a commitment to justice.
  • Rejection of Foreign Interference: The Islamic Republic firmly rejects any foreign intervention in its judicial matters, viewing such actions as violations of international law.
  • Defense of the IRGC: Afkham criticized the European Parliament’s stance on the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), declaring it unjustified and emphasizing the IRGC’s role in maintaining Iran’s security against external threats and terrorism.
  • Consequences of Insults: She warned that any disrespect directed towards the IRGC would elicit a strong response from the Islamic Republic.
  • Call for Positive Engagement: The official urged the European Parliament to reflect on its past errors, fulfill its international obligations, and promote peace and stability, rather than support groups that incite violence and violate human rights.

In conclusion, Afkham’s statements highlight Iran’s position on the European Parliament’s resolutions, advocating for a more constructive approach to international relations and human rights issues.
