The Tehran Times reports the Iranian Foreign Ministry has condemned the inhuman conditions that the Indigenous people of Canada are forced to live in and has called upon the international community and UN human rights bodies to take measures to restore the fundamental rights of First Nations. The ministry released the statement on the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Sept 13.

The ministry advised the Canadian government to abide by its commitments of the UN declaration. Canada is a self-proclaimed advocate of human rights, leveling allegations of human rights violations against other countries in order to divert attention from its own human rights record, it said.
