Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, reacted firmly to the U.S. withdrawal from the Human Rights Council, stating that this action cannot be used as an excuse to evade the country's responsibilities regarding human rights. He referred to the recent crimes of the U.S. in Minab, describing the issue as more serious than it appears.
The Role of the Human Rights Council in Monitoring Global Human Rights
The Human Rights Council, as one of the key bodies of the United Nations, is responsible for monitoring the human rights situation in various countries. The U.S. withdrawal from this council has raised many questions about the country's commitments to human rights and how it affects other nations. Gharibabadi emphasized that leaving this body does not mean ignoring the existing problems and challenges in the field of human rights, highlighting the importance of continuing the council's activities.

Consequences of the U.S. Withdrawal and Recent Crimes
The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister also referred to the crimes of the U.S. in Minab, stating that by leaving the Human Rights Council, this country not only turns its back on its responsibilities regarding human rights but also opens the door for the continuation of its crimes. He emphasized that the international community must pay attention to these challenges and respond to injustices.
Gharibabadi continued, "The U.S. cannot easily sidestep its responsibilities by leaving this council. History has shown that great powers must be accountable for their actions, and evading responsibilities only leads to the continuation of crises." He added that the international community must take human rights issues more seriously and support institutions like the Human Rights Council so they can fulfill their duties properly.
Ultimately, Gharibabadi called for global solidarity in support of human rights, stating that all countries must cooperate to protect human rights at the global level. The U.S. withdrawal from the Human Rights Council is not just a political move; it will have deeper impacts on the state of human rights worldwide.
