Haley said that the council was \u201cdiscredited\u201d by Iranian Justice Minister Alireza Avaie\u2019s slated address to the body\u2019s membership, adding that it only reinforces the United States\u2019 criticisms of the UN and threats to defund the world body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Human Rights Council should be ashamed to allow Mr. Avaei to address its membership,\u201d Haley said in a statement.\u201cYet again the Council discredits itself by allowing serial human rights abusers to hijack its work and make a mockery of its mandate to promote universal human rights. This does nothing but reinforce the United States\u2019 call for much needed reforms at the Council for it to be viewed as a good investment of our time and money,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Avaei\u2019s appearance alongside some 100 other government ministers and dignitaries from around the world has drawn widespread criticism from both Iranian and international activists. Members of the Iranian opposition now living in exile say that Avaei also played a key role in the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, a year in which Amnesty International says some 5,000 prisoners were executed over the course of mere months. Iranian opposition groups put the figure closer to 30,000. \u201cAllowing Avaie to address the Human Rights Council is disgraceful and would make a mockery of the United Nations and its human rights mechanisms,\u201d Shahin Gobadi, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, told AFP earlier this week. \u201cThis must not happen.\u201dAvaei was sanctioned by the European Union in 2011 on the grounds that as Tehran\u2019s top prosecutor he was \u201cresponsible for human rights violations, arbitrary arrests, denials of prisoners\u2019 rights, and an increase in executions.\u201d A protest is planned in front of the UN headquarters in Geneva next Tuesday, when Avaie is due to speak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; AFP A protest is planned in front of the UN headquarters in Geneva next Tuesday, when Avaie is due to speak US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-24389","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-human-rights","7":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>U.N.
