Human Rights in Iran by Reza Afshari, X

Are the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights truly universal? Or, as some have argued, are they derived exclusively from Western philosophic traditions wikipedia iran and therefore irrelevant to many non-Western cultures? Should a state's claims to indigenous traditions, wikipedia iran and not international covenants, determine the scope of rights granted to its citizens? Asserting that the most serious violations of human rights by state rulers are motivated by political wikipedia iran and economic factors rather than by the purported concern for cultural authenticity, Afshari examines one particular state that has claimed cultural exception to the universality of human rights, the Islamic Republic of Iran. In his revealing case study, Afshari investigates how Islamic culture wikipedia iran and Iranian politics since the fall of the Shah have affected human rights policy in that state. He exposes the human rights violations committed by ruling clerics in Iran since the Revolution, showing that Iran has behaved remarkably like other authoritarian governments in its human rights abuses. For over two decades, Iran has systematically jailed, tortured, wikipedia iran and executed dissidents without due process of law wikipedia iran and assassinated political opponents outside state borders. Furthermore, like other oppressive states, Iran has regularly denied wikipedia iran and countered the charges made by United Nations human rights monitors, defending its acts as authentic cultural practices. Throughout his study, Afshari addresses Iran's claims of cultural relativism, a controversial thesis in the intense ongoing debate over the universality of human rights. In prison memoirs he uncovers the actual human rights abuses committed by the Islamic Republic andthe sociopolitical conditions that cause or permit them. Finally, Afshari turns to little-read UN reports which reveal that the dynamics of power between UN human rights monitors wikipedia iran and Iranian leaders have proven ineffective at enforcing human rights policy in Iran.
