The current issue of the Iran Human Rights Review focuses on the United Nations. The universal periodic review of Iran's efforts to address human rights abuses will occur at the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights just a few hours later. It's a good time to remember that Iran not only endorsed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but helped to shape it.

2013 was a busy year for Arseh Sevom. It was a year of collaboration, partnerships, and exploration. In 2013, we brought eighteen people together to discuss civil society in Iran and create a strategy for moving forward as an organization more effectively. We did this by spending a significant amount of time mapping out Iran’s civil society, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, talking to civil society actors and organizations inside as well as outside Iran.
