Mr. Rajavi: 36th resolution condemning mullahs necessitates Security Council's addressing of clerics' record on human rights and terrorism

During the fiftieth session of the United Nations General Assembly, today the Third Committee adopted a resolution condemning the persistence of the flagrant violations of human rights in Iran, including the execution and torture of the populace at home and the assassination of Iranian dissidents abroad. The General Assembly will vote on the resolution next week.

In this respect, Mr. Massoud Rajavi, President of the National Council of Resistance, stressed: This resolution is the 36th such document adopted by different United Nations organs during the past 14 years, condemning Khomeini's medieval regime for severely abusing the rights of the Iranian people and exporting terrorism. It is yet another irrefutable evidence of the irreformability of the mullahs ruling Iran.

The NCR President said: This year's resolution is particularly important because during the Third Committee deliberations on the situation of human rights in Iran, the mullahs' regime, resorting to political maneuvering and outright blackmail, tried desperately to dissuade the Committee from adopting a resolution of condemnation.

Mr. Rajavi added: Doubtless, today, the religious, terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran is the leading violator of human rights and the principle exporter of terrorism in the contemporary world.

Offering his gratitude to all the countries and personalities who endorsed this resolution, Mr. Rajavi said: Experience has shown that although resolutions condemning this regime are quite necessary and effective, they are not at all sufficient to confront such a criminal regime. Thus, the time has come for the General Assembly to refer the appalling record of the mullahs on human rights and terrorism to the U.N. Security Council to consider adopting practical and concrete punishments against this regime.

Due to such a dark record, Khomeini's heirs are absolutely devoid of any legitimacy among the people of Iran and in no way do they represent them, Mr. Rajavi noted. The clerical regime, therefore, must be expelled from the United Nations and Iran's seat at the U.N. be transferred to the National Council of Resistance, the Iranian Resistance's 560-member Parliament which encompasses all Iranian political, social, cultural, ethnic and religious sectors and tendencies, the NCR President concluded.
