International Organizations and Human Rights

(Wise Sayings of Imam Khomeini)

o We are in an age when ciminals are praised and confirmed rather than

     being punished.

o These so-called human rights agencies condemn the oppressed rather than

     the oppressors.

o These agencies that are created for human rights are all agencies for

     pilfering mankind.

o They commit so much crime; they turn countries into grounds for

      massacre and bloodshed, and yet they claim, "We cannot afford to see

      human rights being destroyed (violated)!"

o We want to act according to the UN Declaration of Human Rights. We

      want to be free. We want independence in our country. We want freedom.

o This, and any other, nation has the ight to determine its destiny itself.

     This is a human right and it is embodied in the Human Rights Declaration.

o They speak of human ights but act against it. Islam both respects and

     observes human rights.
