Iran envoy slams EU policy of politicizing human rights

Tehran, IRNA – Ambassador of Iran to Austria Abbas Bagherpour has criticized the European Union (EU) over its attempt to politicize human rights to achieve “short-sighted objectives”.

In reaction to the newly imposed EU sanctions on Iran, the Iranian ambassador said on Tuesday that they are "another futile attempt".

Bagherpour wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday, “Another futile attempt, while in the EU so-called human rights list, no name of human rights violators of US, Israeli apartheid regime, or Europeans who committed abhorent crimes as UN peacekeepers is found."

"Politicization of human rights for short-sighted objectives is so vivid.”

The European Union’s Council of Foreign Ministers on June 26 added seven Iranian individuals to the EU’s sanctions list on the pretext of human rights issues as part of its “dual diplomacy and pressure” policy against the Islamic Republic.

In recent days, the United Nations published an annual report titled “List of Shame” that includes the names of child rights violators in armed conflicts, but, the report did not mention the Zionist regime despite its widespread crimes against children.
