85% of UNHRC reps praised Iran on human rights record

Delegates to the UN Human Rights Council lined up today to shower praise on the Islamic Republic of Iran, a serial abuser of human rights, during a mandatory human rights review that all UN member states undergo every five years.

Ahead of the review, UN Watch refuted key claims in Iran’s submission to the UN plenary.

While the review is meant to scrutinize governments and thereby strengthen the basic rights and freedoms of their citizens, according to a UN Watch count, 95 out of 111 countries, or 85%, praised Iran for its human rights achievements.

This includes 49 countries that glowingly praised the theocratic regime, and another 46 that expressed some praise for Iran’s alleged achievements.

Only a small minority of 16 nations used their brief speaking time to apply real scrutiny to Tehran’s human rights record.
