Since the adoption of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights the United Nation has adopted many
Conventions and recommendations in the field of international
protection of human rights.
The U.N. has instituted a
system of dealing with individual complaints on violations of human
rights from throughout the world. This aspect of the U.N.'s
work involves examination of those individual petitions for the
purpose of deciding whether they show a trend of gross violations of
human rights. If so, the Question of Gross Violations in the country
concerned will be placed on the Agenda of the Annual sessions of the
U.N. Commission of Human Rights for examination and action.
Mindful of the above it is a matter of outmost importance for the
Iranians inside and outside the country to bring such cases in
regular and systematic basis to the attention of the international
community through staff members servicing the UN mandates:
