Seventy-second UN Resolution Condemns Grave Human Rights Violations in Iran

Rajavi: After the resolution's emphasis on the 1988 massacre and today's increasing executions, and given the continuation of crimes against humanity over the past three decades and during popular uprisings, the regime’s crimes dossier must be immediately referred to the Security Council, and its leaders brought to justice.

A short while ago, on November 19, 2025, the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the gross and systematic violation of human rights in Iran, with 79 votes in favor and 28 against. This is the 72nd United Nations resolution condemning the crimes of the clerical regime in Iran.

The resolution strongly condemns the alarming and significant increase in executions and expresses grave concern over the use of the death penalty as a tool for political repression and silencing opponents and protesters, as well as the rising number of executions of women and minors. The resolution condemns the regime’s actions to suppress protests, including those that began in September 2022, particularly the use of the death penalty against individuals associated with the protests.

“After the resolution’s emphasis on the 1988 massacre and today’s increasing executions, and given the continuation of crimes against humanity over the past three decades and during popular uprisings, the regime’s crimes dossier must be immediately referred to the Security Council, and its leaders brought to justice.”

Context: The NCRI framing highlights ongoing executions and protests as central to the UN’s critique, noting the historical reference to 1988 mass atrocities and contemporary suppression measures.

Summary: The UN’s 72nd resolution condemns Iran’s human rights record, emphasizing executions, use of the death penalty for political ends, and crackdown on protests, while calling for accountability at high international levels.
