Mohammad Javad Larijani said last night in the Imam
Khomeini International Airport prior to his flight for Geneva "The Islamic Republic
of Iran has had bright conduct in human rights since the victory of the revolution
and it is regarded as an active figure in this area.”
He pointed out that UN documents have been written 70 years
ago by a group of secular and liberal figures and said "There is a certain bias
to the documents and we must try to make room in them for Islamic teachings.”
Head of the High Council for Human Rights of the Islamic Republic
of Iran asserted "Just as Westerners are free to live as they like, we Muslims
also have a right to act and live according to Islamic thought.”
He added "Countries such as the US tap into holes in human
rights mechanisms to use human rights as a tool for pressuring independent countries.”
Larijani provided comments on the procedure for appointing
a special reporter on Iran and said "This was the most unpleasant thing the
West did to Iran. Surely it is interesting that the reporter’s words are what the
US department of State says.”
