By IRNA,
Cape Town, South Africa : World peace will be established if dialogue prevails over the international community on the basis of justice, Iranian Representative to Inter-Parliamentary Union meeting said on Tuesday.
Mohsen Yahyavi said in his address to the 118th IPU meeting in Cape Town that poverty is the outcome of injustice in world order.
“If justice is not included in the definition of international relations, measures to combat poverty will not work,” Yahyavi said.
He said that the unjust world order is prevailing over the world, violating rights of nations and it is unfortunate that injustice is growing, posing threats to sovereign states.
Yahyavi criticized the performance of certain states vis-a-vis the international law and said that their meddling approach has driven the world community to gloomy prospects rather than promoting humanitarian values.
“It is unacceptable that nuclear states are banning other signatories to Non-Proliferation Treaty from setting up fuel cycle and civilian application of nuclear energy.”
Elsewhere in his address, Yahyavi said that there is no tragedy to the magnitude of Palestine and that the nation is a clear example of cruel relations in international community requiring immediate action from the world governments.
The Iranian representative also blamed the European states for allowing blasphemy in their media in the name of freedom of expression and said that they do such heinous actions to stir up tension in the Muslim World.
“Islam is a major religion in the world and such an action will bring hatred and nothing else.”
He called on the IPU to adopt measures against desecration of Islamic sanctities in order to prevent animosity in the international community.
