JOINT NGO LETTER ON THE RENEWAL OF THE MANDATE OF THE SR ON IRAN

Amnesty – Amnesty International writes a joint letter with other human rights organizations to urge Member States of the United Nations Human Rights Council to support resolution A/HRC/43/L.8 on human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran renewing the mandate of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran during the 43rd session of the Human Rights Council. The renewal of this mandate is essential in light of the persistence of widespread and systematic violations of human rights in the country, many of which stem directly from Iran’s restrictive laws, state policies and practices. It is further warranted by Iran’s ongoing failure to avail itself of the scrutiny of human rights monitors, to uphold the right of people in Iran to truth, justice and reparation, and to hold perpetrators of human rights violations to account.
