The IHRDC is initiating a human rights dialogue in order to explore various dimensions of human rights.  Anticipated discussions will include the development of a culture of human rights in Iran, and the compatibility of international human rights norms with Islam.  We accept submissions of thoughtful discussion papers or academic articles which pertain to issues related to human rights in Iran.  We will also separately post personal stories of those who witnesses, committed or were victims of human rights violations in order that the personal experience should be considered along with the theoretical, and so that the human cost of such violations will not be forgotten.
