A/HRC/22/48 Secretary-General reiterates his calls on the Islamic Republic of Iran to institute a moratorium on the death penalty pursuant to the General Assembly resolutions 62/149, 63/168, 65/206 and 67/176 on moratorium, and raise the age of criminal liability of children. 62. While welcoming efforts made by the Islamic Republic of Iran to report to human rights treaty bodies, the Secretary-General calls upon the Government to provide the further information requested by the Human Rights Committee, followup to concluding observations of the various treaty bodies, and ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. 63. The Secretary-General regrets that, despite repeated requests for a country visit, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran has not yet been admitted to the country. The Secretary-General renews his call on the Government to fully cooperate in the fulfilment of the Special Rapporteur’s mandate by inviting him to the country in the near future. The Secretary-General equally encourages the Government to strengthen cooperation with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, other relevant United Nations agencies, programmes and funds, as well as with civil society, with a view to enhancing the promotion and protection of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran. 18
