Iran condemns US for voting against UNGA resolutions

Secretary-general of Iran's Human Rights Office has criticized the United States for voting against two human rights resolutions at the United Nations General Assembly.

Secretary-general of Iran's Human Rights Office has criticized the United States for voting against two human rights resolutions at the United Nations General Assembly.

According to humanrights.eadl.ir, Secretary-general of Iran's Human Rights Office and the Iranian Judiciary's deputy for international affairs Kazem Gharibabadi reacted to the United States’ attempt to hamper two human rights resolutions in a Tweet on Friday.

He wrote on his Twitter account: “Bad News For Human Rights: the US has voted against 2 important UNGA resolutions: Resolution on condemning all forms of racism. The US and Ukraine voted against, 49 abstained and 130 in favor. This resolution is proposed since 2015 and the US has voted against it every time.”

Gharibabadi continued: “Second, resolution on "The right to food" reaffirming that hunger constitutes an outrage and a violation of human dignity, requiring the adoption of urgent measures at different levels for its elimination, with a vote of 186 in favor, 2 against (Israel, US), with no abstentions.”

The United States has a long history of showing all-out support to the Zionist regime even when the Zionists commit crimes against humanity in dealing with the oppressed Palestinian people.
