The Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly has approved a draft resolution on the human rights situation in Iran with 77 votes in favor, 28 against, and 66 abstentions.
This resolution, which requires final approval through a General Assembly vote, condemns the alarming increase in executions in Iran, often based on forced confessions and conducted without adherence to fair judicial processes.
The draft also expresses concern over the continued use of the death penalty for individuals under the age of 18 and calls for an end to arbitrary arrests and detentions by Iranian authorities.
