Saying that Iran's policy regarding human rights is clear in the internal and foreign spheres, Gharibabadi stated, "We adhere to three requirements in the field of human rights; First of all, we are an Islamic country and we believe that human rights are rooted in divine religions and are not a new phenomenon."
"The second requirement is the laws, especially the constitution. The third requirement is Iran's international obligations in the field of human rights," he added.
"We are part of 5 human rights conventions out of 10 international treaties and we have an interactive policy in the international field, hence we have a special interaction with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights," Gharibabadi noted.
