Ir: HR Institutions Silent About Murder of Tabesh

MNA, Tehran, 5 Jun 2004 -- Following the progression of defensive strategies to advance human rights in the international community, the world currently faces numerous abuses of this concept by certain institutions and governments that merely mean to achieve their political goals.

Unfortunately, those who claim to advance human rights have always been the main violators of the issue in the world.

Thus, the international community has failed to come up with a proper definition of human rights that would be relatively approved by everyone.

The international community should become developed to the extent that it would prevent abuses of the issue and define human rights in various societies in accordance with the cultural, social, political and economic realities. Governments should avoid accusing one another of violation of human rights.

Meanwhile private and non-governmental institutions are important elements in obliterating misunderstandings and finding common points among human societies regarding human rights. However, the thing is that most of these institutions are developed in the west and unfortunately have turned into elements for western governments to materialize their political goals.

The approaches of non-governmental human rights institutions toward Iran over the last 25 years indicates the fact that instead of regarding the realities in Iran, these institutions have exerted political pressure on the country and aroused public opinion against Iran.
