A/HRC/37/68/Add.1 Unfortunately, in paragraphs 14, 23, 27, 51, 57, 58, 59 and 60, the word "pattern", in paragraph 22, the word “mass murder, in paragraph 71, the word “systematic” and in paragraph 70, the word "regime" is incorrectly used; which are necessary to be deleted in the final document. - As the Rapporteur has acknowledged, the adoption and implementation of the new law on drugs has significantly reduced the number of executions of drug offenders. The thirty-year-old performance of the Islamic Republic of Iran has shown that through identifying necessities, it has always sought to formulate appropriate and efficient laws, and this process will continue as necessary. - Unfortunately, the prejudices and hasty judgments contained in the draft report aim to lessen the legal and practical progress made in the country. It should be noted that the various legal and practical developments in the country, referred to in various paragraphs specifically, indicate the process of progressing and realization of justice which guarantees the observance of the rights of the accused more effectively, without discrimination. - Despite the fact that several attempts have been made in the draft, and a large volume of actions are being criticized, it is clear from the information provided that they are ordinary cases which are dealt with in accordance with legal requirements, and thus mentioning them in the report, in addition to making it a long report, provides a false image of the human rights situation in Iran; while there are frequent similar cases in all countries and the handling of crimes is commonplace. -The draft of the present report, which is the latest and the last report by the Special Rapporteur, is not based on the principles of reporting and the presentation of a balanced text based on the impartiality and avoidance of prejudices, specified in Resolution 2.5. It should be noted that the contents of a report should be based on verified information or on matters that are relevant to their respective judicial processes within the country. The report should not be a turbulent and careless compilation, including allegations made by newspapers and noncompetent, non-relevant websites or sources that are known for publishing fake news reports or to depend on fake news released by terrorist organizations. In particular, it is expected that the rapporter, on the basis of her mandate, wouldl, after receiving officially approved information, usefully observe the principles of fairness and impartiality, and refrain from providing personal interpretations and biased orientation, and do not reflect groundless allegations, based on the interpretation of situations. This is evident in many paragraphs in the present draft, which is requested in each paragraph of the current reply, to be amended or removed. - The Special Rapporteur was expected, in addition to using trustworthy sources, to take into consideration the official country responses provided on a regular basis, in particular to previous and documented responses to the earlier reports of the rapporteurr to the thirty-fourth session of the Human Rights Council, as well as the seventy-second meeting of the Third Committee of the General Assembly. Thus, it is required that in the final report she practically include the provisions of the previous replies and the current one. It is also necessary to insert the response of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in the final report, after each paragraph, in accordance with the rules of the Special Procedures. - Despite the progress made and despite the acknowledgment of some of them, the draft has unfortunately been initiated by unconventional and prejudicial statements and it has expressed its concern over the issues that present a misleading picture of human rights issues in Iran. - Despite the structural and form weaknesses in the drafting, due to the progress and modification of procedures and practices in the reporting period, some of which are welcomed by the Rapporteur, it is expected that the pre-emptive approach to be amended and modifies in the final report, providing the opportunity for further interaction with the reporter. - The amount of progress made in the laws and promotion of the performance of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the past few years, regardless of prejudice and the presentation of biased commentary in the draft, is the best evidence of the unsubstantiation of monitoring the issue of human rights in the Islamic Republic Iran, and these developments should also be addressed by the Human Rights Council. - The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with the precision and interest, while engaging and participating in all relevant sectors, recognized 63% of the recommendations during the second UPR cycle from the legal, political, economic, social and cultural point of view and it has been on the path to its implementation. Obviously, according to the UPR mechanism, countries are responsible for accepted recommendations. - The draft Report has cited numerous statements and press releases of the Special Procedures and the Office of the High Commissioner on numerous occasions.
