The third committee of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a resolution expressing its deep concern about “ongoing and recurring” violations of human rights in Iran, notably the alarming high frequency of executions. UN member states call on the Iranian government to abolish execution of minors, abolish torture, eliminate all forms of discrimination and other human rights violations against women and deepen its engagement with UN human rights mechanisms, amongst other things.
The adoption of this resolution comes as the Iranian Government has been supposedly displaying signs of change following the election of President Hassan Rouhani in June 2013 and his taking of office on 3 August 2013. FIDH, and its member organisations the League for the Defence of Human Rights in Iran (LDDHI), and the Defenders of Human Rights Centre (DHRC), believe the change of government has had no impact on the human rights situation so far.

«Isolated ’good will’ gestures, including the release of Ms. Nasrin Sotoudeh last September, do not affect the overall continued repression and human rights violations, not to mention the ongoing imprisonment of other human rights defenders, journalists or trade unionists», said Karim Lahidji, FIDH President.
