“The US move effectively calls into question the voting rights of independent nations in the United Nations, and challenges the value of those nations’ votes,” Kanani added.
The spokesman warned that if the United States and its allies used political pressure and means to expel Iran from the commission, a precedent would be established and CSW members’ voting rights would be called into question.
The Islamic Republic of Iran will use all its political and diplomatic capabilities to block its political move, he concluded.
