UNITED NATIONS (Dispatches) – The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations cautioned the UN General Assembly on Thursday against politically-motivated debate on suspension of Russia from participation in the Human Rights Council (HCR).
Iran sees the draft resolution to suspend Russia’s membership in the UNHRC as politically driven and harmful to the UN’s impartiality, Majid Takht Ravanchi said. Iran, he added, places a high priority on improving and maintaining human rights.
