Justice pour Tous Internationale submitted a report at the 139th session of the UN Human Rights Committee, held from 9 October to 3 November 2023 in Geneva. The report examines critical issues in Iran, including women’s rights, police brutality, and the case of Mahsa Jina Amini. It underscores Iran’s obligations under the ICCPR, advocating for police reform, accountability, and the adoption of preventive mechanisms. Additionally, it highlights challenges to religious freedom, children’s rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. The report urges Iran to ratify the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and its Optional Protocol, establish a National Human Rights Institution, and develop a National Preventive Mechanism, appealing to the Committee to prioritise these recommendations for improved human rights protections in Iran.
