lpv:translated text	"Our resolution is addressed to the UN Human Rights Council, an institution that one would have hoped to promote to the rank of the world’s enforcer of respect for rights, values and the most fundamental freedoms. I use the conditional tense because the UNHCR’s legitimacy is more than undermined by its lack of impartiality. Now all of a sudden, we have the added issue of Iran’s candidacy. This is a provocation. This state, this government, this president, scorn the rights of men and women. At least 346 of the country’s citizens, including minors, were either hanged or stoned to death in 2008. The trials there are farcical. Torture is used. There is a complete absence of freedom of expression, freedom of association, and freedom of the press. Minorities, particular the Baha’is, are persecuted. Since the presidential elections of June 2009, any form of demonstration has been bloodily and systematically repressed. I could go on. The world needs governance that is based on universal values. If the UN wishes to be the forum for this dialogue, it must ensure that its bodies are objective. Iran’s candidacy is much more than a test of the UN’s credibility; it is a test of its viability."@en1
