Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran

With the adoption of resolution S35/1 of 24 November 2022, the Human Rights Council provided the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran with the following mandate:

1. To thoroughly and independently investigate alleged human rights violations in the Islamic Republic of Iran related to the protests that began on 16 September 2022, especially with respect to women and children;
2. To establish the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged violations;
3. To collect, consolidate and analyse evidence of such violations and preserve evidence, including in view of cooperation in any legal proceedings;
4. To engage with all relevant stakeholders, including the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, relevant United Nations entities, human rights organizations and civil society.

After presenting an oral update to the Human Rights Council during an interactive dialogue at its fifty-third session and presenting a comprehensive report to the Council during an interactive dialogue at its fifty-fifth session, the Council on 4 April 2024 voted to extend the Fact-Finding Mission’s mandate for a further period of one year through resolution 55/19 to allow it to complete its mandate, including by ensuring that the large amount of evidence of human rights violations in the Islamic Republic of Iran related to the protests that began on 16 September 2022, especially with respect to women and children, is fully and effectively documented, verified, consolidated and preserved. The Council requested the Fact-Finding Mission to present a report and recommendations to the Human Rights Council at its fifty-eighth session during a joint interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur.
