Envoy appreciates Iraq’s stance on anti-Iran UNGA resolution

Tehran, IRNA – The ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Baghdad has expressed gratitude for the stance taken by the Iraqi government in respect of a recent anti-Iran resolution at the United Nations General Assembly because Iraq cast a negative vote on the resolution concerning human rights.

Mohammad Kazem Al Sadegh said in a meeting with Minister of Justice of Iraq Khaled Shawani in Baghdad that the anti-Iran resolution proposed by Canada is losing momentum on a yearly basis.

He added that the Canada-proposed human rights resolution, which is presented every year against the Islamic Republic of Iran, was approved on November 15 at the 78th Third Committee of the UNGA, but the number of countries who voted against and abstained from the political resolution increased this year and exceeded the number of its supporters.

The anti-Iran resolution was approved with only 80 votes in favor, while 29 states voted against it and 65 countries abstained. Thus, 94 countries did not agree with the anti-Iran resolution.

Syria, North Korea, Iraq, Algeria, Belarus, and Pakistan voted against the anti-Iran resolution.
