REF0032 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Sep 1, 2012 | The Special Rapporteur also continues to underline the importance of perpetuating a culture of tolerance, and urges the Government to prevent discrimination against women and girls, as well as religious and ethnic minorities, in all spheres of public life and services, and to protect their freedoms to freely associate and express themselves. He further calls on the Government to ensure that the minimum age for marriage complies with international standards and that measures to prevent the forced, early and temporary marriage of girls are established | Not Implemented |
|
| A/67/369 |
REF0040 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Sep 1, 2012 | The Special Rapporteur continues to deplore the use of stoning as a form of capital punishment, and continues to strongly urge the Government to enforce its moratorium on stoning, to consider the reversal of existing stoning sentences, and to consider explicitly prohibiting its use. The Special Rapporteur also reiterates his concern about the implementation of the death penalty including in cases that do not meet the "most serious crimes" standards, as stipulated by international law. He calls on the Government to consider revisiting its qualification in the revised Islamic Penal Code on the use of capital punishment for juveniles and to consider prohibiting juvenile executions; and reiterates his call for a moratorium on the implementation of capital punishment sentences until such time as fair trial standards for capital cases can be adequately demonstrated. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/67/369 |
REF0043 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2014 | The Government should consider extending the de facto moratorium on stoning. The continued failure of the judiciary to guarantee due process rights, the frequent application of the death penalty for crimes that do not meet the internationally permissible threshold for capital punishment and the imposition of the death penalty on juvenile offenders warrant an immediate and unconditional halt to such practices. | Partially Implemented |
|
| A/69/356 |
REF0053 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2014 | 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. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/69/356 |
REF0075 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2017 | The Special Rapporteur remains deeply concerned about the alarming level of executions, including of juveniles, in the country. She reiterates her call on the Government to immediately and unconditionally abolish the sentencing of children to death and to engage in a comprehensive process of commutation of all death sentences issued against children, in line with juvenile justice standards. The Special Rapporteur also reiterates her calls to establish a moratorium on the use of the death penalty, to replace the death penalty for drug-related offences with penalties that comply with relevant international standards, and to end the practice of public executions. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/72/322 |
REF0097 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Sep 1, 2018 | The Special Rapporteur expresses his grave concern at the continuing execution of juvenile offenders in the Islamic Republic of Iran and calls upon the Government to immediately prohibit all executions of persons charged with offences that they committed when under the age of 18 years. He further recommends that the Government abolish the death penalty in all cases and, pending that measure, introduce a moratorium. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/73/398 |
REF0115 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I therefore again urge your Excellency's Government to expeditiously lift or commute the death sentences imposed against Mr. Abu Moslem Sohrabi, as well as all other persons awaiting execution for offences committed before they reached age 18. All other efforts undertaken by your Government to prevent these executions are insufficient to meet its obligations under international treaties it is a Party to. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0120 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I therefore again urge your Excellency's Government to expeditiously lift or commute the death sentences imposed against Mr. Abu Moslem Sohrabi, as well as all other persons awaiting execution for offences committed before they reached age 18. All other efforts undertaken by your Government to prevent these executions are insufficient to meet its obligations under international treaties it is a Party to. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0125 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I would therefore respectfully request Your Excellency's Government to take all necessary steps to commute the sentence of execution [of Mohammad Reza Haddadi] in order to ensure compliance with the applicable standards of international human rights law. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0127 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I respectfully urge your Excellency's Government to take all measures necessary to comply with the commitments it has undertaken under international law. These measures were, in my view, accurately reflected in the recommendations issued by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, which called on the Islamic Republic of Iran in January 2005 (See CRC/C/15/Add. 254, 28 January 2005, at par. 30) | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0128 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | In view of the urgency of this matter and of the irreversibility of the punishment of the death penalty, it is imperative that your Excellency's Government should take all steps necessary to prevent the execution of Mr Abbas Hosseini, which if carried out will be inconsistent with acceptable standards of international law. Further, the unsuccessful negotiations so far, for compensation (diyeh) to the victim's family should not form the basis for carrying out the execution of the death penalty. I therefore urge your Excellency's Government to lift or commute the death sentence imposed against Mr Abbas Hosseini. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0129 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | In view of the urgency of this matter and of the irreversibility of the punishment of the death penalty, it is imperative that your Excellency's Government should take all steps necessary to prevent the execution of Mr Behnood Shoojaee and Mr Safar Angooti. I therefore again urge your Excellency's Government to suspend the executions reportedly already scheduled and expeditiously lift or commute the death sentences imposed against Mr Safar Angooti and Mr. Behnood Shoojaee, as well as all other persons awaiting execution for offences committed before they reached age 18. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0130 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I therefore urge your Excellency's Government to take all necessary measures to guarantee that Habibollah Latifi, Ehsan (Esma'il) Fattahian and Sherko Moarefi are not deprived of their lives in violation of the obligations your Excellency's Government has entered into under international law. Considering the irreversible nature of capital punishment, this can only mean suspension of the death sentence against them until the question whether the acts they were found guilty of satisfy the international criteria as to what constitutes "most serious crimes" has been clarified. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0131 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I would therefore respectfully request your Government to take all necessary steps to ensure that Mohammad Reza Haddadi is not executed tomorrow. Moreover, in order to ensure compliance with the absolute ban of the death sentence against juvenile offenders in international human rights law, the death sentence will have to be commuted. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0135 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | Merely taking gradual measures to decrease the carrying out of death sentences against offenders who were juveniles is an utterly inadequate approach to complying with your Excellency's Government's obligations under international law, which can only be fulfilled by immediately stopping all executions for crimes committed by persons who were not aged 18 at the time of the offence. Laws permitting the death sentence to be imposed on juvenile offenders are inherently inconsistent with the international legal obligations assumed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and should be promptly repealed. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0138 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I would respectfully reiterate my appeal to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to take all necessary steps to avoid executions that would be inconsistent with accepted standards of international human rights law and to take steps to bring its legislation in compliance with Article 37(a) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political, to which it is a party. In particular, I urge your Government to expeditiously lift or commute the death sentences imposed against Amir Khaleghi and Safar Angooti as well as all other persons awaiting executions for offences committed before they reached age 18. All other efforts undertaken by your Government to prevent these executions are insufficient to meet its obligations under international treaties it is a Party to. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/14/24/Add.1 |
REF0142 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I wish to thank your Excellency for your letter dated 15 July 2009 in response to my letter of 23 August 2007, in respect to another case in which the accused juvenile offender had been sentenced to qesas. Your letter indicates that through efforts of the Judiciary, the case had entered the reconciliation case and that as a result of the victim's guardians giving their consent the execution had been stopped and the accused released. While I welcome this outcome, I remain concerned that such efforts to decrease the carrying out of death sentences against offenders who were juveniles is an utterly inadequate approach to complying with your Excellency's Government's obligations under international law. These can only be fulfilled by immediately stopping all executions for crimes committed by persons who were not aged 18 at the time of the offence. Laws permitting the death sentence to be imposed on juvenile offenders are inherently inconsistent with the international legal obligations assumed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and should be promptly repealed. | Not Implemented |

REF0143 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | I would respectfully reiterate my appeal to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to take all necessary steps to avoid executions that would be inconsistent with accepted standards of international human rights law and to take steps to bring its legislation in compliance with Article 37(a) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political, to which it is a party. | Not Implemented |

REF0159 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2012 | In a press release issued on 22 September 2011, the Special Rapporteur, jointly with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers and the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, issued a press statement in which they condemned the public execution of the juvenile Alizera Molla-Soltani, expressed concern at the high frequency of drug related executions (see above JUA 20/09/2011 Case No. IRN 12/2011) and reiterated their call for an immediate moratorium on the death penalty particularly in drug related and juvenile cases | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/20/22/Add.4 |
REF0183 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2014 | To prohibit capital punishment for juveniles and for crimes that do not meet the most serious crimes standards under international law, including for drug offences and perceived sexual offences. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/25/61 |
REF0187 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2015 | The Government should also expedite the removal of landmines and explosives that continue to pose a threat to the lives and security of populations located in their vicinity, enhance provisions for public education -- particularly for at risk children -- and ensure immediate and non-discriminatory access to adequate medical treatment and pension programs for victims and their families. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/28/70 |
REF0197 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2015 | Authorities should immediately rescind the death sentences against all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, including those of Soheil Arabi and others, whose alleged actions do not constitute a serious crime under international law. The Government should also note that international law and consensus define juvenile execution as the execution of individuals who were under the age of 18 at the time of the commission of the relevant crime, not at the time of implementation of the sentence. He reiterates his call on the Government to officially ban this practice and to align its practices with its obligations under international law. He repeats his call to enforce a complete moratorium on the death penalty in the meantime. These actions could drastically reduce executions for non-capital offences and better ensure protections for the right to life. | Partially Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/28/70 |
REF0221 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2016 | He reiterates his call on the Government to establish a moratorium on the use of the death penalty, and further encourages it to continue its examination of laws and policies that effectually undermine or violate the right to life. This includes laws that apply the death penalty to acts not considered to be criminal offences, or crimes that do not warrant use of the death penalty under international law, such as drug-related crimes. He also appeals to the Government to abandon piecemeal reforms and to immediately and unconditionally prohibit the execution of juvenile offenders, defined as individuals under 18 years of age at the time they committed a capital offence. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/31/69 |
REF0245 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2017 | The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to prohibit all forms of child marriage and develop awareness-raising campaigns and programmes on the harmful effects of this practice on the physical and mental health and well-being of girls, targeting households, local authorities, religious leaders, and judges and prosecutors, as recommended by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. | Partially Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/34/65 |
REF0249 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2017 | 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. | Not Implemented |

REF0443 | Mar 25, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Violence Against Women | Jan 1, 2006 | Ratify the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and protect women victims of trafficking, ensure accountability of the traffickers and provide compensation to the victims; | Not Implemented |

|
| E/CN.4/2006/61/Add.3 |
REF0586 | Mar 19, 2021 | Recommendations | Human Rights Committee | Aug 2, 1993 | The Committee recommends that domestic laws should be revised with a view to curtailing the number of offences currently punishable by the death penalty and to reducing the number of executions. Public executions should be avoided and the accused should, in all cases, be provided with all necessary guarantees, including the right to a fair trial as provided for under article 14 of the Covenant. | Not Implemented |
