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

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]
