Report of the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, August 30, 2012:

"Despite the intensified dialogue between the Agency and Iran since January 2012, efforts to resolve all outstanding substantive issues have achieved no concrete results: Iran ... simply dismissed the Agency’s concerns ... Iran has not responded to the Agency’s initial questions on Parchin and the foreign expert; Iran has not provided the Agency with access to the location within the Parchin site to which the Agency has requested access; and Iran has been conducting activities at that location that will significantly hamper the Agency’s ability to conduct effective verification."

As at 31 October 2011, 15 Kurdish activists were reportedly on death row on charges including 'acting against national security', 'corruption on earth' and espionage. Minorities also continue to be subjected to intense socio-economic discrimination and pressures, including land and property confiscation, denial of employment and restrictions on social, cultural and linguistic rights...."

"...violations of due process rights are chronic, reducing the likelihood of a fair trial...the majority of persons interviewed...maintained that they were not presented with a warrant or reason for arrest during their interrogations. Several interviewees reported that they had endured unlawful searches and seizures, and had been held for weeks, even months, in solitary confinement without being informed of their charges.

Baha'is continue to be arbitrarily arrested and detained for their beliefs..."

UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)

In April 2010, Iran was elected to a four-year term on the CSW despite the fact that Iran is guilty of institutionalized discrimination against women. For example, “women lack the ability to choose their husbands, have no independent right to education after marriage, no right to divorce, no right to child custody, have no protection from violent treatment in public spaces, are restricted by quotas for women’s admission at universities, and are arrested, beaten, and imprisoned for peacefully seeking change of such laws.”

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

Iran was an elected member of the UNDP Executive Board in 2011, and was elected Chair for 2009. Iran routinely works at cross-purposes with UNDP goals, most notably in regards to the promotion of democratic governance, human rights and the empowerment of women (the UNDP overseas the UN Development Fund for Women). For instance, Iran held the Chair of the UNDP Executive Board while simultaneously carrying out a bloody crackdown in the streets of Tehran against citizens protesting for their own democratic governance.

United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)

Iran is currently a member of UNIDO, and has received over $51.5 million worth of aid for UNIDO projects, including provision of technical advice and support for the regime-controlled Iranian petrochemical sector. Many UNIDO projects and project proposals cite the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO) and its subsidiaries as partners. The U.S. and EU-sanctioned IDRO is a government body that controls entities involved in Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and is dedicated to procuring foreign technology to further these illicit aims.

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

Iran is currently elected to positions on the Commission of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, and the International Narcotics Control Board. The Iranian regime constantly issues pleas for extensive international aid to combat drug-trafficking in and on its borders, yet actively benefits from close ties to Latin American drug cartels and worldwide drug-trafficking schemes. Iran also executes hundreds of citizens each year for minor drug-related offenses. As noted by Human Rights Watch, international assistance from organizations like UNODC has made it “easier to prosecute alleged offenders based on unfair trials, and even apply the death sentence under the draconian drug laws of Iran’s revolutionary court.” Additionally, weapons provided to Iran to ostensibly combat drugs traffickers have instead been funneled to its terrorist allies in Afghanistan and Iraq, where they are used to kill American and NATO troops.

United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)

The Islamic Republic of Iran was elected a member of the UNICEF Executive Board for 2000-2005 and 2008-2010. During the latter two periods, Iran has been one of the world’s most egregious violators of children’s rights by routinely executing minors. Iran also idolizes its practice of using child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq War, with Khamenei describing it as “the symbol of greatest pride,” and Ahmadinejad asking “Is there an art that is more beautiful, more divine, more eternal than the art of a martyr’s death?” Iran is also party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and both optional protocols, including the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict.

UN General Assembly Sixth Committee: The Legal Committee

The Islamic Republic of Iran served as Vice-Chair of the General Assembly's Legal Committee during its 64th Session (2009-2010) despite its flagrant disregard for the rule of law. The Legal Committee's agenda includes "Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism." Iran is "an active state sponsor of terrorism" and has "increased its terrorist-related activity" on American soil and around the globe.

International Telecommunications Union (ITU)

International Maritime Organization (IMO)

Despite its membership in the IMO, Iran has circumvented international sanctions by pursuing the deceptive practice of renaming and re-domiciling ships, as well as dangerously shutting off ship transponders in violation of maritime law. Additionally, Iran has threatened to indiscriminately mine the straits of Hormuz, a waterway vital to international trade, and routinely smuggles weapons by sea to its allies in Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

International Labour Organization (ILO)

Though Iran is a member of the ILO and a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (which guarantees the right to association), independent labor unions are banned in Iran. According to Amnesty International “union activists are regularly beaten, arrested, jailed and tortured.” During demonstration in 2009, the regime arrested over 100 workers and executed their leader. An Iranian government representative, Kamran Fannizadeh, currently serves as Director for the Programme for the Promotion of the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Iran is also chair of the Selection Committee of the International Labour Commission.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

Iran is currently an elected member of the UNHCR Executive Committee, yet routinely tracks and abuses the thousands of Iranian citizens who have fled the country to escape persecution. Iranian security forces are known to stake out neighboring countries in order to pursue and harass Iranian refugees, while also threatening and arresting any family members who remain in Iran.

United Nations Conference on Disarmament

Although the UN Conference on Disarmament lists as primary matters of its attention "cessation of the nuclear arms race," "nuclear disarmament" and "prevention of nuclear war", Iran is a member.
