Iran to compile an Encyclopedia of Islamic Human Rights

During a meeting held on Sunday to sign the Memorandum of Understanding on Islamic Human Rights, Kazem Gharibabadi said Islamic Human Rights is an important issue ignored in different international areas.

The MoU was signed on Sunday between the World Assembly of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), the Human Rights Headquarters, the Mustafa International Society, the Organization of Islamic Culture and Communication, and the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought.

Gharibabadi said: "Although human rights have been enshrined in international documents since the 20th century, the reality is that human rights are not a Western commodity but are rooted in the divine religions, especially Islam."

He recalled that human rights and the defense of the rights of Muslims and the oppressed of the world were ignored, criticizing the adoption of double standards to human rights by those who advocated it.

Amid the hustles and bustles of the Western media and other international bodies against the Russian operation in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia beheaded 81 Muslims, and no one reacted to the executions.

The US-backed Saudi Arabia and several other states, including the UAE, invaded Yemen in March 2015. The outbreak of war by Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions of Yemenis.

Saudi Arabia is a monarchy state and ally of the US who claims to be a brilliant advocate of democracy and human rights!
