REF0026 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Sep 1, 2012 | He continues to assert that his mandate should not be viewed as a punitive measure, but should be regarded as an opportunity to frequently and substantively engage the international community in a non-politicized, transparent and constructive forum. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/67/369 |
REF0051 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2014 | He further repeats his call for substantive engagement and cooperation between the Government and the United Nations human rights mechanisms, including compliance with the findings of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which has identified a number of cases of arbitrary detention. He appeals for the unconditional release of all those detained for the peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of expression, assembly and association, conscience and political opinion, in particular journalists, human rights defenders, adherents of recognized and unrecognized religions and the leaders of the Baha'i faith. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/69/356 |
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. Encourages the authorities to reconsider statutes that place unreasonable conditions on the exercise by all Iranian citizens of rights protected by article 25 of the Covenant (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights). | Not Implemented |
|
| A/70/411 |
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 |
REF1561 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2018 | The Special Rapporteur welcomes the continued engagement by the Government with her mandate through meetings and written exchanges. The Special Rapporteur further notes some developments including the adoption of amendments to drugtrafficking laws, and the follow-up on the Charter on Citizen's Rights. In particular, the Special Rapporteur noted the positive step taken to grant Baloch citizens with nationality cards and to afford access to education to children in the province. Such developments have taken place amidst ongoing severe reports of the denial of human rights in a number of fundamental areas. As such, small gains are lost in an overall atmosphere where the State denies even very basic rights to its population. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to demonstrate the political will to end the impunity of agents of the State who perpetrate violations of the human rights of individuals in the country | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/37/68 |
REF1563 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2018 | In connection with the recent protests, the Special Rapporteur urges the Government to promptly report to the families the name, location, and other relevant information of all individuals taken into custody, and to carry out prompt, independent and effective investigations into the authorities' response to the protests and the circumstances of the deaths in custody of those arrested, with a view to holding the perpetrators of any violations committed accountable. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/37/68 |

|
| A/HRC/31/69 |
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 |
|
| A/HRC/31/69 |

This includes reconsidering previously rejected recommendations to accede to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the two ILO conventions related to collective bargaining and the formation of unions. | Not Implemented |

|
| A/HRC/28/70 |
REF0085 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2017 | The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government should strenghten Bar associations and bar councils so that they are self-regulatory and function independently.

| A/HRC/40/67 |
REF0216 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2016 | The widening crackdown on freedom of expression and opinion that reportedly took place during the reporting period is regrettable, and the Special Rapporteur urges the Government to consider amending or rescinding laws, policies and parliamentary measures that contravene freedom of expression and that restrict access to information, including the draft political crimes bill, which would criminalize attempts to reform the country's policies | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/31/69 |
REF0217 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2016 | He reiterates the concern of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders about the Government's "overly broad interpretations" of national security and propagation crimes against the State, and strongly urges authorities to release all individuals identified as arbitrarily detained by the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and other human rights mechanisms. | Not Implemented |
