Iran strongly objects to inappropriate remarks by Australian representative at UN Human Rights Council
🔻 Iran’s representative at the United Nations Human Rights Council interrupted the Australian representative’s remarks after the latter used inappropriate language toward Iran, objecting to the use of the term “regime” to refer to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
🔸 Immediately after the Australian representative used the term “regime” in reference to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Iranian representative raised a point of order, calling for diplomatic standards to be observed and for the official names of UN member states to be used.
🔻 In response, the presiding officer emphasized the need to use appropriate language and adhere to the rules governing the session. Following the Iranian delegation’s objection, representatives of other countries refrained from using similar language toward Iran for the remainder of the session.
