NCRI – Simultaneous with the ongoing session of the UN General Assembly, the ruling religious fascism in Iran is trying to stop a resolution condemning its flagrant human rights violations by the international body, according to the reports received from the mullahs' Foreign Ministry. It is offering free oil shipments and some other economic concessions to certain UN member states in return for their support in derailing the action.
The mullahs' official representatives as well as unofficial envoys in New York and other capitals with lucrative oil offers and special prices for mostly African countries are trying desperately to collect support for a no action motion on a proposed draft resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran; a draft which has already been sponsored by a large number of member countries.
Such measures come at a time when the Iranian regime leads the world in juvenile executions, stoning, limb amputations and the barbaric suppression of popular uprisings including protests by women and students in the country.
On October 1, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, in reference to the clerical regime's human rights dossier expressed "grave concern." He said that world witnesses "a sudden surge of executions in recent months," in Iran.
The Iranian Resistance warns against the regime's plots for diverting the UN General Assembly's focus from its dossier of human rights violations. It also calls on the UN Secretary General and member states to confront such attempts by the mullahs' regime.
The United Nations and its member states are faced with a great challenge not to let human rights values fall victim to oil contracts and other unethical dealings.
