|
| A/HRC/22/56 |
REF1628 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Jan 1, 2020 | Ensure that all persons accused of any crime have access to a lawyer of their choosing during all stages of the judicial process, including during the initial investigation and interrogation stage, and are provided with legal aid as needed; | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/43/61 |
REF1627 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Jan 1, 2020 | Amend the Islamic Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure to ensure that confessions alone are not sufficient for establishing guilt; | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/43/61 |
REF1567 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2018 | The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran should also ensure that all those sentenced to death can exercise their right to equal access to justice through adequate legal representation, which is an essential component of due process at any stage in criminal proceedings, including the appeal and review process. Adequate and qualified legal representation at the review stage through effective legal aid programmes should be ensured. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/37/68 |
REF1566 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2018 | Pursuant with commitments made during the special session on the world drug problem, and in order to fully implement the new amendments to the 1998 drug trafficking law, the Government should establish a clear and transparent procedure for reviewing the cases of individuals who have been sentenced to death under the previous drug trafficking law. Such a process should be transparent, accessible, and follow due process and fair trial guarantees, including effective representation of defendants. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/37/68 |
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 |
REF1450 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Jan 1, 2019 | The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government and Parliament: Ensure that all persons accused of any crime are assured access to a lawyer of their choosing during all stages of the judicial process, including during the initial investigation and interrogation stage, and are provided with legal aid as needed; | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/40/67 |
REF1442 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Jan 1, 2019 | The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government and Parliament: (a) Pending abolishment, remove from the scope of the death penalty any offence other than the "most serious crimes‚" which are confined to intentional killing, and ensure that all those sentenced to death for other offences have their sentences commuted. Amend legislation to ensure that any person sentenced to death, including on the basis of qisas, can seek pardon or commutation from the State; | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/40/67 |
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 |
REF0203 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2015 | The Special Rapporteur looks forward to observing the impact that amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure will have on improving access to legal counsel, and encourages the Government to guarantee this right for all accused, regardless of the allegations against them. He notes that the Government should further ensure that national laws support the independence of lawyers, in accordance with international norms and standards, and implores the Islamic Republic of Iran to release all lawyers that appear to have been imprisoned for protected activities in defence of their clients, such as raising awareness about fair trial concerns. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/28/70 |
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 |
REF0180 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2014 | To improve access of legal counsel to all files containing evidence against the accused. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/25/61 |
REF0179 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2014 | To strengthen fair trial safeguards by ensuring access to legal counsel during all phases of pretrial detention and the investigative stage of cases, including during interrogation and arraignment, and allow for legal counsel to advise the accused during these proceedings. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/25/61 |
REF0168 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Feb 1, 2013 | Investigate all allegations of torture, address impunity and end the culture of investigation through confession as reflected by the breadth of reports communicated to the Special Rapporteur. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/HRC/22/56 |
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. That would enable them to regulate the profession without discrimination and to develop tools to protect its members from being persecuted for their independent professional decisions or views. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/72/322 |
REF0083 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2017 | She urges the Government to reform the judicial system with a view to ensuring its independence. Appropriate training for the members of the judiciary is also necessary to ensure that guarantees of a fair trial and due process are effectively respected. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/72/322 |
REF0061 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Oct 1, 2015 | Encourages officials to reconsider amendments that would undermine the initially positive efforts to facilitate access of detained suspects to legal counsel during the investigation phase of their cases. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/70/411 |
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 |
REF0030 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Sep 1, 2012 | Emphasizes the need to explicitly define actions that constitute crimes against national security, and encourages the Government to guarantee the space for public criticism or advocacy through peaceful activities that are protected by international law. Calls on the government to ensure that restrictions on freedom of expression and the right to information are "content-specific" as called for by the Human Rights Committee in its General Comment 34 on article 19. | Not Implemented |
