Iran says it continues to engage in “constructive cooperation” with the UN


Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has said that his country’s principal stance is to maintain “constructive cooperation” with the United Nations (UN) Human Rights system despite facing political pressure from the United States (US).

Nasser Kanaani said that Iran continues to take part in efforts to advocate human rights across the world. His comments came in response to an inquiry from IRNA (Islamic Republic News Agency) about the appointment of Iran's UN ambassador Ali Bahraini to the chair of the UN Human Rights Council 2023 Social Forum.

Vaclav Balek, the president of the Human Rights Council, announced that Iranian ambassador Ali Bahraini will serve as chair of the Geneva Human Rights Forum in 2023. Later on, UN Watch launched a petition to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to cancel the appointment of Ali Bahraini. The UN Watch also urged United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken to condemn the appointment of Ali Bahraini. UN Watch said that his appointment was “an insult to the tens of thousands of victims beaten, brutalised, tortured, raped and murdered by this regime.” Some American officials also opposed the appointment of Ali Bahraini.

Nasser Kanaani condemned them. The Iranian official reportedly said that their comments were absurd. He said that the US officials should respect the appointment of Ali Bahraini to the Human Rights Council.

Ali Bahreini, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the UN office in Geneva, received the receipt of a nomination from regional coordinators to chair the UN Human Rights Council 2023 Social Forum.

The Human Rights Council’s Social Forum is set to take place in Geneva, a city in Switzerland, on November 2 and 3. The goal of the forum is to focus on the contribution of science, technology, and innovation to the promotion of human rights across the world

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not
