Iran asks for surveying new human rights abuses in Gaza

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Sept 28, IRNA -- Islamic Republic of Iran here Monday asked for establishment of an independent international body to survey recent cases of serious human rights abuses in Gaza.

Simultaneous with the begging of the survey on violations of the human rights abuses in occupied Palestine at regular session of the UN Human Rights Council at Geneva, the Ambassador and Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran at United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) Seyyed Mohammad-Reza Sajjadi in an address asked for the establishment of an independent international body commissioned to survey the recent cases of serious human rights violations in Gaza by the Zionist regime.

Sajjadi referring to the publication of a new report by the lawyer experts fact finding team who were pursuing the authenticity of the Goldstone Report on human rights abuses in Gaza emphasized, “The Islamic Republic of Iran is deeply sorry to hear that according to the results of the independent surveys conducted in accordance with international standards, most of the fundamental human rights have been broadly violated in Gaza by the Zionist regime.”

He added emphatically, “The state and systematic nature of the Zionist regime’s efforts aimed at total annihilation of Gaza is one of the most important points mentioned in the fact finding group’s report.”

Sajjadi at the end stressed the need for surveying the dimensions of the crimes committed by the racist Zionist regime in their recent so called Melting Lead Operation, stressing that it is up to the international community to act urgently to end the inhumane siege of Gaza and that densely populated small strip’s lingering occupation by the Zionist military forces.

The 15th Human Rights Council that began its work a fortnight ago in Geneva has allocated its Monday night and entire Tuesday sessions to surveying the status of human rights violations in occupied Palestine.

Meanwhile, the repot of the fact finding group on the Zionist regime brutal attack against the International Peace Flotilla would be surveyed on Tuesday session.
