Reply to paragraphs 31 and 32
Firstly, the statistics presented in paragraph 31 of the draft is incorrect; secondly, by virtue of
the law, the Supreme Council of Cyberspace is an upstream and independent entity in the field
of cyberspace in the country, which is the main task of this policy institution, macro
management, planning, decision making, and timely and efficient and up-to-date monitoring
and monitoring in cyberspace. According to the law, the laws of this institution are binding on
all relevant organizations. So far, the council has not passed a bill on the need to verify the
identity of internet users.
In addition, in accordance with Article 22 of the Computer Crime Act, the Judiciary is required
to establish a Code of Conduct for Criminal Instances. The committee is composed of
representatives of relevant organizations and it is headed by the Attorney General of the
country. The committee acts on the basis of laws and regulations to determine the examples of
websites that seek to endanger the safety and security of the community, promote crimes
against general ethics, promote false information and support terrorist groups. And the relevant
judicial departments also deal with offenders of laws and regulations of the country and take
action against perpetrators of the crimes. This approach not only does not violate the freedom
of expression and privacy of the people, but also guarantees the rights and privacy. It has also
been a serious demand of people from the government and the State to protect the rights and
privacy of individuals against those who are unaware of and heedlessly disseminating personal
and private information.
It is noticed that the allegations made in this paragraph are incorrect and the official policy of
the Islamic Republic of Iran is to improve the access of people to information and provide legal
freedom for the activities of newspapers and websites; therefore, it is necessary to amend this
paragraph in the final report.
