The United Nations Human Rights Council is set to vote on extending the mandates of both its fact-finding mission on Iran and its human rights rapporteur, citing ongoing and systemic human rights violations, according to a draft resolution seen by Iran International.
The resolution, expected to be voted on within 10 days, condemns systematic human rights violations in Iran and calls on the Islamic Republic to end its structural impunity for perpetrators of crimes and to fully cooperate with the UN’s Special Rapporteur and the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission.
“The structural impunity that the Islamic Republic has granted to officials and agents of suppression and perpetrators of crimes against the people strengthens the chain of violence and violates the victims’ right to justice,” the draft resolution read.
