sorry... candidate. Iran is candidate to a seat in the newly created UN Human Rights Council.
(pause)
I guess being so well versed and experienced in the human rights violations against its own people, it finds itself in a very good position to be able to judge if others are promoters or violators of human rights.
I am not going to link to all sorts of reports, I have done it in previous posts, here and here.
I only hope that other governments will be offended by this candidature, which ultimately shows how little respect the IRI has for the UN, let alone for human rights, to dare make such a move when six months ago, the same General Assembly that will now have to elect it adopted a resolution confirming it is a gross human rights violator by 75 votes in favour.
(So please don't even mention again Mr. Zarif and his nagging.)

And your link to Tellier comes in handy when interpreting the reference to oil nationalisation in Zarif's speech. Thanks.
