the health system, especially in the aftermath of the spread of the Corona virus in the country,

Concluding remarks of the State under review
628. The Vice-President stated that, based on the information provided, out of 329
recommendations received, 143 enjoy the support of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and 186
are noted.
629. The head of the delegation stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran was determined to
continue its efforts to promote and protect human rights. He reiterated that the country had
made huge improvements in promoting and protecting human rights, despite all the odds,
including the unilateral sanctions that had negative impacts on the enjoyment of many human
rights by the Iranian people, including the rights to health and education, women and
children’s rights, and the right to development. He particularly drew the attention of the
Human Rights Council to the fact that the right to health had become the primary casualty
under the unilateral sanctions by the United States. He concluded by emphasizing the fact
that the Islamic Republic of Iran was committed to implementing those recommendations
supported by the country.
