The 2011 report on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran by Special Rapporteur Ahmed Shaheed, submitted to the General Assembly under Agenda Item 69 (c), marks the beginning of Shaheed’s mandate, which commenced on August 1, 2011, as per Human Rights Council resolution 16/9. Due to the timing of his appointment, this initial report does not present a full account but rather introduces Shaheed’s proposed methodology and outlines recent trends in human rights conditions in Iran.
The report underscores the importance of transparency and cooperation from the Iranian government and aims to establish a foundation for Shaheed’s ongoing work in documenting and addressing human rights concerns in the country.
