West’s Sanctions: A Bold Attack on Iranian Rights, Says Gharibabadi

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, has expressed strong criticism regarding the hypocritical stance taken by self-proclaimed advocates of human rights. He emphasized that these advocates have undermined the rights of the Iranian nation through the imposition of sanctions.

Gharibabadi made these remarks during a meeting in Geneva on Thursday, which was initiated by Iran and included participation from various countries under the supervision of UN human rights political mechanisms. His comments highlighted several critical issues:

  • Double Standards: Gharibabadi voiced concern over the selective approaches and political exploitation of human rights.
  • Sanctions and Terrorism: He noted that the self-proclaimed champions of human rights have created numerous challenges for Iran by supporting terrorists and imposing sanctions.
  • Accusations Against Tehran: The Iranian diplomat criticized the accusations leveled against Tehran regarding human rights violations, which he claims are politically motivated.
  • Inaction on Global Human Rights Violations: He pointed out the inaction of these advocates regarding the massacre of tens of thousands of people in Gaza, while they continue to support the Zionist regime.
  • Intervention in Sovereignty: Gharibabadi described the imposition of political human rights mechanisms on developing countries as an infringement on their sovereignty.

According to Gharibabadi, the advocates of human rights are often guilty of violating the rights of their own citizens and those of other nations. His remarks come as ambassadors at the Geneva meeting expressed concern over the abuse of human rights, pointing out that existing monitoring mechanisms are ineffective, selective, and politicized.

In light of these discussions, attendees agreed to enhance coordination for the upcoming session of the Human Rights Council, scheduled for March, in order to confront the politicized approaches to human rights and to present their positions in a unified manner.

This resolution, which endorsed the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), has been contentious, especially after the U.S. withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and reinstated sanctions. The letter asserts that the E3 nations (UK, France, Germany) lack legal authority to impose sanctions due to their failure to comply with the JCPOA. The three nations call for constructive dialogue to ensure peace and stability.
