The UN Special Rapporteur on Iran and the Chair-Rapporteur of the UN Working Group on Enforced Disappearances join JVMI and survivors of the 1988 massacre in Geneva on 15 February 2024 in an appeal for justice
London, 2 April 2024 – A group of 77 current and former United Nations special procedure mandate-holders and commissioners and experts of UN-mandated investigative bodies on Tuesday wrote to the President of the Human Rights Council and the Council’s Member and Observer States, supporting the renewal of the mandates of the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran and the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran.
“Impunity and the absence of accountability for serious human rights violations remain a significant and recurrent feature of Iran’s political landscape. We believe this impunity stems in part from the failure to hold Iranian officials accountable for their involvement in the 1988 massacre of political prisoners,” the UN experts said in an open letter.
Signatories include 65 current and former UN Special Procedures. The experts urged Member States of the Human Rights Council to vote in favour of resolution A/HRC/55/L.6, extending the mandates of the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran and the FFMI for a period of one year.
