In the report on his mission to the Islamic Republic of Iran (E/CN.4/1996/39/Add.2), the Special Rapporteur noted that article 14 of the Constitution stipulated that the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and all Muslims were duty-bound to treat non-Muslims in conformity with ethical norms and the principles of Islamic justice and equality, that in accordance with article 23 of the Constitution, the investigation of individuals’ beliefs was forbidden and that article 26 of the Constitution protected religious societies.

He noted that nurturing such respect required a spirit of open debates and a genuine willingness on all sides to accept the validity of norms derived from cultures other than one’s own. 125.
