Iranian women got a taste this year of womens rights in Iran when the regime cracked down on the strict dress code.
The final statement included a declaration on human rights.
Sure enough you don't have to look to far to see the attacks on Israel and the refusal to tie Islamic radicalism to terror.
Fars News has the complete list:
The ministers and other heads of delegation from member countries of the Non-Aligned Movement meeting in Tehran, Iran on Human Rights and Cultural Diversity issued a final statement, which among other things, supports establishment of a right center in Iran.You certainly wouldn't want to label any radical religious group with promoting terrorism.
The following is the text of the declaration of the NAM meeting in Tehran.
The ministers and other heads of delegation from member countries of the Non- Aligned Movement met in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran, on 3-4 September 2007, at the "ministerial meeting on human rights and cultural diversity",
1. Renewing their commitment to promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms including the right to preserve cultural identity which is a defining characteristic of humanity and forms a common heritage of humanity,
2. Emphasizing that tolerance, due respect for others and their rights to freely determine their own approach towards progressive development are fundamental values to international relations...
17. Declaring that any doctrine based on racial, or cultural superiority is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous, and must be strongly rejected as a ground and manifestation of apartheid and expressing deep concern on the cultural uprooting which is continuously unfolding in the Palestinian occupied territory and the occupied Syrian Golan on the basis of such doctrines by the occupying power...
23. Denouncing the attempts to identify any culture with terrorism, violence and human rights violations.
That would be bad.

DOMESTIC TERROR IN IRAN
excerpt:
[The Mashad hangings, broadcast live on local television, are among a series of public executions ordered by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last month as part of a campaign to terrorize an increasingly restive population. Over the past six weeks, at least 118 people have been executed, including four who were stoned to death. According to Saeed Mortazavi, the chief Islamic prosecutor, at least 150 more people, including five women, are scheduled to be hanged or stoned to death in the coming weeks.
The latest wave of executions is the biggest Iran has suffered in the same time span since 1984, when thousands of opposition prisoners were shot on orders from Ayatollah Khomeini.]
A Disarming Election
excerpt:
[On April 9, 2007 there was a United Nations believe-it-or-not moment extraordinaire. At the same time that Iran's President Ahmadinejad declared his country was now capable of industrial-scale uranium enrichment, the U.N. reelected Iran as
a vice chairman of the U.N. Disarmament Commission.]
[I would like to make the following statement adopted by the Council. One,…the Human Rights Council has in closed meetings examined the human rights situation in…the Islamic Republic of Iran…Two, the Human Rights Council has decided to discontinue the consideration of the human rights situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran…Three,…members of the Human Rights Council should make no reference in the public debate to the confidential decisions and material concerning [the Islamic Republic of Iran]…]
[Lantos was pleased with his recent trip, along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to Syria. The U.N. shares his view that one of the world's leading state sponsors of terrorism ought to be a welcome player on the world stage. Following the election on Monday of Iran as vice chairman, the U.N. Disarmament Commission elected Syria as its rapporteur.]

excerpt:
["A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, other sexual act such as forplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not comitted a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man's four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl's sister." - Ayatollah Khomeini]
