"Mr President, I did not say that I – and the Council – do not read press reports and newspapers. I said that the Council never comments on press reports. That is something quite different.
My esteemed colleague is undoubtedly right that, in Iran, the death penalty is not just something that exists in theory but also something that is practised. That is deeply tragic, but the Council has devised a strategy for nonetheless being able to embark upon human rights dialogues with countries that impose this penalty. That is, in my view, perfectly in order, moreover. It is of course a dialogue involving, on the one hand, vigorous condemnation and, on the other hand, simultaneous efforts of persuasion to bring about improvements."@en1
