The UN General Assembly approved a Canadian draft resolution Tuesday expressing "deep concern" at alleged systematic human rights violations in Iran, including torture, flogging, amputations, stoning and public executions.
The 192-member world body adopted the resolution by a vote of 73-53 with 55 abstentions.
The resolution is not legally binding but carries moral weight and reflects the majority view of world opinion.

Thank goodness most of the world is with the Iranian Opposition. But the Seyyeds think that they are over and above the UN don't they.
