Recommendations
Comments and measures
Education about tolerance and
non-discrimination against religion
and belief should be considered and
introduced as soon as possible, as a
way of combating all forms of
intolerance and discrimination based
on religion and belief. At the same
time, the Special Rapporteur urges the
creation of universities offering
religious instruction as a main or
subsidiary subject. More broadly, the
Special Rapporteur recommends that a
culture of human rights and in
particular of tolerance should be
spread by promoting the creation of
human rights clubs in universities,
which would strive chiefly to further
the development of tolerance of and
non-discrimination against religion
and belief.

Comments and measures
The concept of Islamic criteria as set
forth in article 4 of the Constitution
should be precisely defined in
regulations or legal texts without,
however, giving rise to discrimination
among citizens.
Concerning professional access by
members of minorities to the army and
the judiciary (arts. 104 and 163 of
the Constitution), a legislative
enactment regulating the
Administration in general should
prohibit discrimination against any
Iranian citizen regardless of,
inter alia, his or her beliefs or the
community to which he or she belongs.
