The Secretary of the High Council for Human Rights wrote a letter to UN Secretary General, saying inviting the parties to the conflict to exercise restraint without condemning the occupiers, amounts to systematic and systemic violation of the right of nations to self-determination.
Ali Baqeri Kani, the Secretary of the High Council for Human Rights and the Deputy of International Affairs to the Judiciary wrote a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, referring to the “continuous violations of basic and fundamental rights of the Palestinian people by the Zionist regime”, saying that “issuing ambiguous statements aimed at legitimizing the Zionist aggression, are the main causes of the recurrence of these crimes in the age of so-called responsibility and accountability”.
“Inviting the parties to the conflict to exercise restraint, without condemning the occupiers, or speaking of the self-defense of a regime whose presence in Palestinian territories is essentially considered occupying, not only legitimizes the crimes committed by the Zionist regime in the Palestine, but it is also a clear, systematic and systemic violation of the right of nations to self-determination and therefore leads to the international responsibility of these organizations and declarant countries”; the letter adds.
Referring to the UN call for restraint on the part of the parties to “an unfair conflict,” while the Palestinians' elementary defensive actions are in no way comparable with the crimes of the armed-to-the-teeth Israeli regime, amounts to “supporting the occupier, consolidating the occupation, continuing aggression and assisting in aggression.”
The High Council for Human Rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran requests UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to use all available options to stop these crimes, bring the perpetrators to justice and to ensure that they will not happen again.
Stressing that the UN Secretary General should “recognize the situation as a situation resulting from the violation of jus cogens rules of the public international law (armed aggression and violation of international and regional peace and security)”, HCHR suggests that UN sets up a commission of inquiry or fact-finding and employing existing capacities, including Article 99 of the Charter, to draw the attention of the UN Security Council to this gross and systematic violation of human rights.
