Neutrality is fine but it cannot apply in face of genocide: Baghaei
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says neutrality cannot be justified in the face of genocide, stressing that genuine humanitarianism requires moral courage to denounce atrocity crimes and hold perpetrators accountable.
In a post on X on Friday, Baghaei wrote, “Neutrality in times of war is not indifference. True! But war and genocide are inherently different; ‘neutrality in times of war’ cannot be applied in times of an undisguised genocide that has been raging on for the past 2 years in the open.”
The spokesperson underlined that the ongoing situation must not be treated as an ordinary conflict. “Genuine humanitarianism calls for moral courage to explicitly abhor atrocity crimes and demand accountability for the criminals,” he added.
