Gharibabadi made the remarks in a meeting with Namibian Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab, according to a Thursday report from the website of Iran Judiciary's Human Rights Council.
In the meeting, Gharibabadi named the improvements made in Iran on human rights issues and elaborated on the negative impacts of unilateral coercive measures and terrorism on enjoyment from human rights.
He also condemned the hypocritic approach of Western countries to the issue of human rights in Iran while violating Iranian people’s human rights by slapping unilateral sanctions.
Dausab announced the principled position of her country in opposing imposition of sanctions and unilateral coercive measures against developing countries, including Iran.
She also condemned instrumental use of human rights and exercise of double standards, saying that Human Rights Council should be a technical assembly for addressing human rights situation without politicization.
Gharibabadi also met with Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister G.L Pieris and Justice Minister Ali Sabry, where they discussed exploitation of human rights by Western countries and the US to put pressure on developing countries.
They also exchanged views on legal and political structures and human rights-related improvements in Iran and Sri Lanka.
Gharibabadi also took part via video link in the meeting of representatives of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and elaborated on Iran’s stance on human rights.
He mentioned the common challenges ahead of the non-aligned, including unilateral coercive measure, terrorism, and political, selective approach by the West toward human rights.
The Iranian official called on the members of NAM to oppose this approach and be united against that.
