The Special Rapporteur further calls on the Government to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and to amend laws that violate the rights of women, including the rights to freedom of movement and work and the right to be free from discrimination, especially in the workplace and in the hiring process. She urges the Islamic Republic of Iran to protect children born within its jurisdiction by facilitating the ability of women to pass on their citizenship to their sons and daughters, and to amend laws and regulations, including on dress code that infringe upon the rights of women and undermines their dignity. In the light of the high rates of child marriage, which is never in the best interest of the child, the Special Rapporteur reiterates her call upon the Government to take steps to ensure that the minimum age for marriage complies with international standards.

- Full Recommendation
The Government should take immediate steps to address the increasing incidence of early and forced child marriage, in particular by banning child marriage and raising the minimum age for marriage to 18 years, as specified in a number of laws identified in the country's submission to the Committee on the Rights of the Child. He further appeals for efforts to define and criminalize domestic violence and to expand the definition of rape to encompass marital rape to be expedited. He asserts, however, that, while domestic violence is an egregious act, it does not constitute a lethal action required for the application of capital punishment under international law.

- Full Recommendation
While noting as positive the willingness on the part of the Government to explore steps to reduce the number of executions in the country, the Special Rapporteur is, however, deeply concerned over the alarming level of executions, including of juveniles, in the country. She urges the Government to immediately and unconditionally prohibit the sentencing of children to death and to engage in a comprehensive process to commute all the death sentences that were handed down to personscurrently on death row in respect of crimes committed when the person was under the age of 18 years. The Special Rapporteur reiterates the calls made by the previous mandate holder to establish a moratorium on the death penalty and urges the Government to accelerate the process of amending its Anti-narcotic Law and to replace the death penalty for drug-related offences by penalties which comply with relevant international standards. The Government should also put an end to public executions.
