Mohammad Javad Larijani, head of the Judiciary’s so-called “Human Rights” Office of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has called the appointment of a special rapporteur on human rights for the Islamic Republic of Iran unjustified, unreasonable, and unfair, arguing that the Islamic government of Iran is a symbol of “the greatest democracy in the region and possesses very advanced and precise legal laws and regulations.”
The Deputy for International Affairs of the Judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran then claimed that the appointment of a special rapporteur on human rights for the Islamic Republic of Iran is carried out due to political motivations of major world powers. He then accused Ahmad Shaheed, the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights for Iran, of unethical conduct and stated that for this reason, the country has not cooperated with him so far and has opposed his entry into Iran.
Mohammad Javad Larijani said that the Islamic Republic of Iran opposes the renewal of Ahmad Shaheed’s one-year mandate as the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights for Iran and calls on United Nations member states to also oppose the renewal of this mandate.
The Secretary of the Judiciary’s Human Rights Office emphasized that the Islamic government of Iran is fundamentally opposed to the prevalence of the appointment of a special rapporteur on human rights because it considers this measure to be conducive to political exploitation, which, according to Mohammad Javad Larijani’s claim, has occurred regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The head of the “Human Rights Office” of the Judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran once again denounced the universal or globalist understanding of human rights and said: “Disregarding cultural differences and moral foundations” in the field of human rights is harmful, and these differences should be respected and taken into consideration in human rights discussions.
Mohammad Javad Larijani had previously, relying on these same “cultural differences and moral foundations,” described the implementation of Islamic punishments such as amputation or stoning as examples of “beautiful laws of retaliation” and respect for human rights.
