As mentioned above, the main barrier to a peaceful space for the promotion and the protection of members of religious and ethnic groups in Iran, is Article 1 of the Constitution and also the non respect of article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which Iran is party to. Conclusion & Recommendations The KMMK-G maintains that substantive measures need to be taken in both laws and practice by the new government to promote human rights of the members of religious and ethnic minorities in the country. The Iranian state should protect the Kurdistan religious space of tolerance and co-existence and abandon it's religious and ethnic chauvinism that favor the Persian-Shia group over others communities. Finally, we urge the Iranian government of president Rouhani to respect, on the one hand, his electoral pledges for more rights to religious and ethnic minorities and, on the other hand, to fully respect Iran's national and international obligations.
