Cairo : Egypt has refused the content of the annual report that was issued by the United States Department on human rights situation in the world and in particular over Egypt.
The Egyptian rejection was echoed by spokesman of the Foreign Ministry Hossam Zaki in his first comment since the report was issued saying Egypt rejects the installation of any state itself as guardian of human rights in the world and issuing verdicts in this regard.
Zaki affirmed that his country’s position in this regard is clear and does not bargain over it.
Zaki said in a press statement that the Egyptian stance is principled and clear, adding that Egypt also refused an earlier approach of the European Parliament over the same subject.
Zaki added that the Egyptian international commitments in the field of human rights is the sole source of his country’s international obligations in this regard.
He believed that the outlook marred by the report, as happened in the past, was unfortunately non objective nor scientific mixture between extensive presentation of non-neutral views as some non-governmental organizations on one hand, and overlooked community component surrounding the development of human rights and the extent of its impact on that process on the other.
Zaki said that the Egyptian formal and non formal efforts in the development of human rights in Egypt as well ensuring the continuation of such efforts are continuing and will not stop.
