Call for UN investigative and accountability mechanism

ACI offers its best wishes for Christmas, particularly to the Iranian Christian community. ACI looks forward to a free democratic Iran where all are equal and where Iranians can gather in celebration of life and freedom in peace, in harmony and without any kind of distinction.

The Human Rights Council vote to establish a fact-finding mission on November 24, and now this latest timely action at ECOSOC is a clear indication that the global community is finally hearing the voices of the Iranian people and not what the regime misrepresents.

What a gift it would be to oppressed women everywhere if this unprecedented step is taken by CSW to prove that they are ready to adapt and improve the system in the fight for equity and equality for girls and women everywhere.

On this seventy-fifth anniversary of Human Rights Day, brave Iranians on the streets of Iran are saying ‘NO’ to the Islamic Republic through peaceful protest and nationwide strikes. They are risking their safety, liberty, and lives for the right to choose their government as declared in article 21 of the UDHR…

The people of Iran are asking for change clearly, loudly and with their lives. They are demanding what has been denied them equity, equality, justice, and freedom. They would like to be a positive constructive member of the international community where they can prosper and benefit from all the riches Iran has to offer its people and the international community.

it must be noted that imposing EU sanctions on one hand and facilitating legal routes for the Islamic regime to bypass other sanctions through EU special mechanisms makes a mockery of the entire process.

The time has come for the international community to rethink their dealings with the Islamic Republic and consider the plight of the people of Iran. A democratic, responsible, free-functioning Iran is far more beneficial to the peace and security of the Iranian people and the rest of the world than a regime that opens fire on its own citizens and arrests children from schools with impunity.

The international community has a collective responsibility in sustaining this regime and is complicit in the state sponsored violence perpetrated against women in Iran by condoning the regime’s actions through financial support and EU’s actions in colluding with the regime to evade sanctions through various mechanisms. We ask you as the highest international arbiter and the Secretary General of the United Nations in a spirit of solidarity with the Iranian nation, to defend their rights violated systematically by the entirety of the Islamic regime who are squandering the future of our country Iran.
