A/HRC/31/69 70. The Special Rapporteur reiterates his firm belief that the Government can significantly improve the country’s human rights situation with the full implementation of the recommendations accepted at the outcome of the 2014 universal periodic review. He therefore renews his requests for further dialogue and for a visit to the country to both discuss the Government’s plans for implementing the universal periodic review recommendations and to explore constructive ways in which the mandate holder and representatives of other special procedures can support implementation efforts. 71. After almost five years of work monitoring the country situation and establishing a constructive relationship with the Government, the Special Rapporteur believes that the human rights situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran merits a measure of confidence, which must be strengthened by tangible efforts and outcomes that will lay the groundwork for perceptible progress. He remains committed to the notion that the outcome of the 2014 universal periodic review offers stakeholders a platform to explore opportunities to ameliorate the current situation and stresses that the Government needs to improve its cooperation with all the special procedures. In this regard, he encourages the international community to remain steadfast in its engagement. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to facilitate ongoing requests for information and enjoins the Islamic Republic of Iran to consider a voluntary midterm review, which may contribute to its ability to fulfil its international human rights obligations. 20
