Iranian luminary grills UNHRC president on Gaza
In a scathing swipe at Omar Zniber, the sitting president of the UN Human Rights Council, Afrooz pushed a line of Socratic questioning that suggests that the council has not performed its duties even by its own standards and definitions of “human beings” and “[human] rights”. “Do the oppressed children of Gaza have the right to live?” asked the distinguished professor of psychology at the University of Tehran poignantly.
“What is UN role in this matter?” he underlined.
The United Nations has for months been criticized for its inaction, at best, and shrugging, at worst, at the unspeakable horrors that the Israeli army is inflicting in Gaza through incessant air strikes and unlawful use of starvation against civilians, including women and children.
