NCRI – The Iranian regime’s ambassador to the UN and Khamenei’s advisor on international affairs, Gholam Hossein Dehghani, expressed Iran regime’s fear of the new resolution adopted by the United Nations to form an investigation commission on war crimes in Syria.
He claimed that the resolution proposed by Lichtenstein and Qatar for commissioning an international team to investigate the war crimes in Syria is a destructive move that could undermine the efforts for a peaceful solution of the crisis in Syria.
The Iranian regime’s ambassador to the UN did not mention that the Iranian regimes Revolutionary Guards (IRGC and Quds Force) and mercenaries are present in Syria and ignored the fact that the killings and massacre of innocent Syrian people are perpetrated by these forces. He claimed: “The Islamic Republic believes the conflict in Syria does not have a military solution and the people of Syria must be able to decide their political future themselves.”
It should be pointed out that the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 to establish an independent international mechanism to investigate “war crimes” in Syria. In this regard, Liechtenstein prepared a draft resolution with the help of dozens of countries asking the UN to form an independent and impartial committee to investigate the war crimes in Syria. 105 member states voted yes for the resolution and only 13 countries including Iranian regime voted against it. The purpose of forming this committee is to collect fair and independent evidence of the criminal actions in Syria, based on the international rules and standards.
