What is the objective of the IHRDC?
The IHRDC was established to objectively and systematically document human rights violations committed in the Islamic Republic of Iran since the 1979 revolution. It believes that creation of an authoritative and accessible record of such abuses is essential for peaceful democratic rule. Documentation of abuses and their proper legal analysis will help raise public awareness of accountability and rule of law, and promote it as an important aspect of building a civil society in Iran.
