For his part, Saeed Khatibzadeh, a spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, described the decision of the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly on "gross violations of human rights" in Iran as "unacceptable and lacks legal legitimacy."

Khatibzadeh described the decision as a "repeat of baseless allegations based on incorrect and fabricated reports."

He accused the drafters, including Canada, of "using human rights and international mechanisms as tools to achieve their ambitions and political goals."

The government spokesman said, "What is regrettable is that some countries, including Canada, use human rights and their international mechanisms as a tool to advance their political ambitions and purposes."

He added, "Such unconstructive measures do not help in improving the conditions of human rights and their respect at the global level, but would only lead to fueling fabricated negative stereotypes and directing empty political accusations to independent countries."

Khatib Zadeh added, "The move of the Canadian government and all other governments adopting the resolution, which is a prominent example of exploiting the lofty concepts and values of human rights to achieve short-sighted political purposes, condemned and lacks any credibility and legal effect."

He pointed out, "114 countries out of 193 countries who rejected or abstained from the draft resolution have declared their dissatisfaction with the hypocrisy approach of the decision-makers," calling on the Canadian government to "stop keeping up with the economic terrorism practiced by the American government against the Iranian people instead of pretending to be hypocritical with caution." On the rights of the Iranian people and to stop hosting the spoilers and looters of the wealth of the Iranian people, who found Canada a safe place to move to and invest in the money that they stole.

About the vote of 114 representatives. "

The spokesman considered Canada's move to "bring together a number of notorious governments in the field of human rights, such as America, the Zionist entity, Bahrain, the UAE and Saudi Arabia to teach the Iranian people human rights, a shameful step," and called on Canadian officials to work on "reforming their anti-human rights performance inside and outside the country." Their country and desist from their systematic policy of exterminating the descendants of the indigenous population of Canada, and to assume responsibility for participating in the commission of inhuman crimes by the Saudi regimes and the Zionist entity against the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples.
