December 10th, corresponding to Azar 19th, is International Human Rights Day. 69 years ago on this day, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations to serve as a global standard for respecting the fundamental rights of human beings. Rights such as freedom and equality for all people regardless of color and race, gender equality, the right to freedom of thought, the right to freedom of expression, and the right to choose one's religion, which according to the declaration are the rights of all human beings. This declaration, along with two international covenants, namely the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, forms the most important international standards for human rights. These covenants, to which Iran has been a party for 42 years, raise the question of how much Iranian authorities adhere to these covenants, which is the subject of this week's Window program.
