NEW0027 | Apr 15, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Oct 1, 2015 | Restrictions on the rights of religious minorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran remain deeply concerning. Adherents of recognized and unrecognized religions continue to report arrests and prosecution for worship and participation in religious community affairs, including in private. Measures that exclude religious minorities from legal protections for civil, political, social or economic rights, or that impose special restrictions on the practices or manifestations of religious beliefs continue to violate the obligations of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the Covenant and should be addressed. | Not Implemented |

REF0059 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Oct 1, 2015 | Existing laws and draft legislation appear to unreasonably exclude individuals from standing for public office on the basis of gender, religion, political affiliation, opinion and social or personal background.

|
| A/70/411 |
REF0166 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Feb 1, 2013 | Examine and address those laws that contravene its international obligation to eliminate all forms of discrimination in law and practice.

|
| A/HRC/22/56 |
REF0195 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2015 | High priority should be placed on amending laws and policies that undermine or violate internationally recognized rights and standards, and that therefore diminish the Government's capacity to address concerns highlighted during the review and presented in the present and other reports produced by the human rights mechanisms. The Government should rescind laws that render as offences activities conducted to exercise legitimate rights under international law, including any laws that restrict the press, criminalize expression, limit access to information and give rise to the ongoing arrests of civil society actors and members of vulnerable groups, including religious and ethnic minorities, as well as laws that apply the death penalty to offences, such as drug-trafficking, that are not considered to be "most serious crimes" under international law. Moreover, the mandatory use of the death penalty is not compatible with the fair trial safeguards required under international law for the application of the death penalty and should be reconsidered. | Not Implemented |

| A/HRC/28/70 |
REF0108 | Mar 31, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Freedom of Religion or Belief | Feb 1, 2009 | Furthermore, she would like to recall that the General Assembly resolution 63/181 urges States to step up their efforts to eliminate intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief, notably by taking all necessary and appropriate action, in conformity with international standards of human rights, to combat hatred, discrimination, intolerance and acts of violence, intimidation and coercion motivated by intolerance based on religion or belief, as well as incitement to hostility or violence, with particular regard to members of religious minorities in all parts of the world. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur is very concerned by the continued violations of freedom of religion or belief suffered by members of the Baha'i community. She urges the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to ensure that the Baha'i members who are currently detained receive a fair trial and she would like to recommend the presence of independent observers during the trials. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/10/8/Add.1 |
REF1549 | Mar 31, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Freedom of Religion or Belief | Feb 1, 2010 | Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur would like to refer to General Assembly resolution 63/181, in which the Assembly urges States to step up their efforts to protect and promote freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief, and to this end, to exert the utmost efforts, in accordance with their national legislation and in conformity with international human rights law, to ensure that religious places, sites, shrines and symbols are fully respected and protected and to take additional measures in cases where they are vulnerable to desecration and destruction. As mentioned, inter alia, in paragraph 4 of the Human Rights Committee's general comment no. 22, places of worship are an essential element of the manifestation of the right to freedom of religion or belief to the extent that the great majority of religious communities or communities of belief need the existence of a place of worship where their members can manifest their faith. Moreover, unlike other forms of violations of the right to freedom of religion or belief, attacks or other forms of restriction on places of worship or other religious sites and shrines in many cases violate the right not only of a single individual, but the rights of a group of individuals forming the community that is attached to the place in question | Not Implemented |

She would like to reiterate the observations and concerns in her previous report (see A/HRC/10/8/Add.1, paras. 94 and paras. 111-112). The Special Rapporteur again urges the Government to ensure that the Baha'i members, who have been detained for more than 20 months so far, receive a fair trial and in this regard she would like to recommend the presence of independent observers during the trials. Reportedly, the trial of Ms. Fariba Kamalabadi, Mr. Jamaloddin Khanjani, Mr. Afif Naeimi, Mr. Saeid Rezaie, Mr. Behrouz Tavakkoli, Mr. Vahid Tizfahm and Ms. Mahvash Sabet began on 12 January 2010 in Tehran, however, no observers were allowed inside the court at that session | Not Implemented |

| A/HRC/22/56 |
REF0215 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2016 | Despite some positive amendments in 2013, the Islamic Penal Code continues to justify serious human rights violations perpetrated by government officials, including members of the judiciary. Many provisions in the penal code violate the country's international human rights obligations by criminalizing the peaceful exercise of fundamental rights or other acts that are not internationally recognized as crimes. The penal code also continues to discriminate against girls, women and religious minorities. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to consider additional reforms to the penal code in line with the country's international legal obligations. | Not Implemented |

The Committee also recommends that the State party take steps to guarantee, in law and practice, the unhindered access of Baha'i students to universities and vocational training institutions, and to prevent refusals of access and expulsions of students from such institutions based on their belonging to the Baha'i community. | Not Implemented |
