High Council for Human Rights (Persian: ستاد حقوق بشر, Sitad-e Heqâvâq-e Beshir) is the governmental national human rights institution of Iran, subdivision to the Judiciary of Iran.[1]
Positions
[edit | edit source]The council rejects and condemns appointment of Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran by United Nations[2] and strongly opposes the western countries' positions about current human rights situation in Iran. It also assumes the "true face" of human rights should be sought through Islam.[3]
The council has challenged laws against Holocaust denial, spread of Islamophobia, forced unveiling in schools, specifically in France as being against human rights.[1]
The council has condemned the Nobel Prize Committee for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to a "criminal" Narges Mohamamadi in 2023.[4]
Leadership
[edit | edit source]According to the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, new members were added to this council in the winter of 2023. The new members of the Judicial Branch’s Human Rights Council include the head of the IRGC Intelligence Organization, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, and the Vice President for Women and Family Affairs, among the new members of the Human Rights Council.[5]
