West advocates human rights for own interests

The West advocates human rights as long as their own interests are preserved, says Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi.

Hawzah News Agency - The West has its own redline for the human rights advocacy and democracy despite using a beautiful rhetoric about such issues, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi said on Wednesday.

'What constitutes the West's redline is merely its interests; the illegitimate interests that if failed to be secured, issues like democracy and human rights and other similar slogans are going to cause no sense for the West.  

On the other hand, they only heed the language of power,' he said. Under such circumstances, the fact is that the West has not satisfactory record to understand the language of law, neither does it abide by the internationally-binding agreements, the senior cleric said.
