“Iran plays an influential role in the laws related to children’s rights,” Hosseini said.
The UNICEF envoy pointed to the children’s rights treaty as the first international document approved by all world countries, and said, “Iran has also approved this treaty and is bound to implement its contents.”
Earlier this year, Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Mohammad Khazayee was elected as one of the five presiding members of the Executive Board of the UNICEF.
Khazayee was nominated by the UN body's Asian subgroup for membership at its Executive Board.
