It is absolutely necerrary to refer the dossier of the crimes of mullahs ruling Iran to the Security Council
This resolution doubles the necessity of referring the dossier of the crimes of mullahs ruling Iran to the Security Council and imposing comprehensive sanctions against this regime and prosecution of its leaders. A regime, which has executed 120,000 political prisoners, has ignored 57 past UN resolutions, has refused the visit of Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and other thematic Special Rapporteurs to Iran and systematically violates all human rights norms. While the situation of human rights in Iran deteriorates day by day, sufficing condemnation is not enough. This regime must be held accountable and rejected from the international community.This resolution doubles the necessity of referring the dossier of the crimes of mullahs ruling Iran to the Security Council and imposing comprehensive sanctions against this regime and prosecution of its leaders.

This regime must be held accountable and rejected from the international community.Maryam Rajavi urged all Iranians, freedom seekers and supporters of the Iranian resistance across the world to rise up to defend prisoners, confront mass executions and suppression of women and youth by expanding the defence of human rights campaign.She added that while the mullahs’ regime, facing unsolvable crisis and increasing internal and international isolation, has resorted to unprecedented level of suppression, torture and killings, condemning resolutions are not enough and this inhuman regime must be held accountable and rejected from the international community. This would be a serious message to the Iranian rulers and an effective message to the Iranian people, that the international community has ended inaction and silence against religious dictatorship. She warned all those who try to overlook human rights violations in Iran and oppose effective international measure in this regard that the mullahs ruling Iran have no future and any political and economic investment on this regime is doomed to fail.
Although this resolution covers a fraction of the mullahs’ crimes, it nevertheless shows clearly their animosity towards recognized human rights principles including: torture, extra-judicial killings, secret mass executions, execution of children and youth, execution under the pretense of Moharebeh (war with God), stoning, preventing peaceful assembly, lack of freedom of expression and conscience, censorship of websites, monitoring emails, jamming satellite TV signals, targeting lawyers and journalists, widespread gender discrimination, persecution of ethnic and linguistic minorities, suppression of followers of various religions, systematic use of arbitrary detention and forced disappearance, and arbitrary violation of people’s privacy. The Third Committee also repeated concerns and demands contained in the reports of the UN Secretary General and rapporteurs of this organization, as well as previous General Assembly resolutions about human rights in Iran and has expressed concerns for the Iranian regime’s continued defiance.
