Questions to the Special Rapporteur on Iran

At the 19th Session of the Human Rights Council, the Baha'i International Community ask the Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in Iran how the international community respond given Iran's refusal to engage in any substantive manner with UN human rights mechanisms.

The Community cited the Rapporteur's report and confirmed that the concerted efforts of the Iranian government "generated a dramatic increase in human rights abuses: multiple violations, across the entire spectrum of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, specifically directed against members of this community, literally from kindergarten to the grave."
