LACK OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN IRAN
Dismay at lack of human rights resolution on Iran as persecution worsens:
GENEVA, Switzerland, 14 April 2005 (BWNS) -- The Baha'i International Community today expressed its dismay and disappointment at the failure of the UN Commission on Human Rights to even consider a resolution on human rights in Iran, given the worsening situation in that country and in particular the persecution of the Baha'is.
"In view of the sharp increase of human rights violations against the Baha'i community of Iran, it is nothing less than shocking that the Commission on Human Rights has for the third year in a row failed to renew international monitoring of the situation," said Bani Dugal, principal representative of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations.

Dear Robert,
I have to agree with Kofi Annan: “We have reached a point at which the commission's declining credibility has cast a shadow on the reputation of the United Nations system” and “Unless we re-make our human rights machinery, we may be unable to renew public confidence in the United Nations itself”
