Crimes Against Humanity in Iran reported by UN human rights mechanisms
In March and early April, there were several significant developments regarding the situation of human rights in Iran, including the rights of women and girls.
The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, Professor Javaid Rehman, submitted his report to the council in the conclusion of his six-year mandate, calling for accountability with respect to long-standing emblematic events such as the enforced disappearances and summary and arbitrary executions of 1981 and 1988 and the protests of November 2019.
These are the long-time demands of the Iranian people and Resistance for over four decades.
In the meantime, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission submitted a damning report on its findings of crimes against humanity in Iran committed by the Iranian regime during the 2022-23 protests to the UN Human Rights Council.
The UN Human Rights Council decided to form an Independent International Fact-Finding Mission to investigate the crimes committed during the 2022 protests in Iran, during its special session on November 24, 2022. Then on December 20, the President of the Human Rights Council announced the appointment of Sara Hossain (Bangladesh), Shaheen Sardar Ali (Pakistan), and Viviana Krsticevic (Argentina) to serve as the three independent members of the Mission and appointed Sara Hossain as its Chair.
The Independent International Fact-Finding Mission’s report concluded that the clerical regime committed crimes against humanity in Iran during the clampdown on protests beginning in September 2022.
