Islamabad, Dec 16 (Online): The embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Islamabad strongly condemns the illegal act of the United States of America in suspending Iran membership in the Commission on the Status of Women of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The passing of the resolution to terminate Iran membership in the CSW is regarded a hostile and political action, bereft of any legal and procedural basis. Presently US resorts to the illegal abuse of the international organisations for the malicious manipulation of the procedural rules and to abuse the textual and conceptual lacuna in order to violate the rights of the other members of the international community. Suspending a legally elected member of the CSW is an evident breach of the international regulations and an obstacle in the way of promoting the political, economic, social and educational rights of the Iranian women. This measure by the US is a contempt to the free countries that voted for Iran membership in the Commission on the Status of Women last year.
US took advantage of the internal events in Iran and by relying on the lack of information and disinformation by its financed and supported media, promulgated fallacious allegations about breach of human rights in Iran.
The Iranian women society is active, dynamic, cognizant and competent and strives for its own progress and the progress of the next generations, and it will continue to strive for its progress ever after. The United States banned Iran from being a member of the Commission on the Status of Women to prevent Iranian women from enjoying their rights, but Iran uses the United Nations to express its viewpoints and opinions. It should be noted that America has adopted a hazardous practice by abusing international organizations against the rights and interests of the independent countries. Instrumental and political use of an international legal institution can cause the failure of international law and such institutions. The fabrication of faulty and illegal procedures and the lack of legal basis for such actions in the rule of procedure in ECOSOC reduce the credibility of an international institution and direct it towards the interests of a particular group.
Instrumental and political use of an international organization, as well as ignoring the principles of neutrality and sovereignty of the countries in international institutions, especially institutions that are related to the international law and international organizations, means negating the United Nations Charter and the general principles of the international law.
The termination of Iran’s membership in the Women Status Commission does not prevent Iran from participating in international events. Iran will actively try to protect its rights in the international organizations.
Iran will try resolutely to become a member of the Commission on the Status of Women again next year. While ignoring Iran’s efforts to protect women rights and the achievements of Iranian women occurs in a situation where violations of international rights and women rights in America and Europe, have become a daily routine.
The resolution put forward by the United States of America is a ridiculous gesture by the principal violator of the human rights and the right of the women based on clean-cut evidence and documents. The brutal unilateral sanctions imposed by the so-called supporter of the human right, prevented millions of people in Iran to enjoy their inalienable rights including economic welfare, medicine, vaccine etc. that is while records of discrimination and violence against human rights and the human dignity by US is well established through statistics. US should be hold accountable for the violation of the human right and endangering the valuable lives of people deprived of basic rights due to the unilateral sanctions inflicted by this country.
