A high-level conference held on Wednesday at the Maison Internationale des Associations<\/em> in Geneva brought together UN experts, Swiss parliamentarians, and eyewitnesses to address what participants described as an unprecedented escalation of executions in Iran. The event followed the UN General Assembly Third Committee\u2019s recent adoption of a resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran, passed with 79 votes in favor.<\/p>\n
Speakers included former UN Special Rapporteurs Javaid Rehman, Tahar Boumedra, Jeremy Sarkin, Alfred de Zayas, former Geneva Mayor Remy Pagani, and several members of the Geneva Parliament. The keynote address was delivered online by *Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>).<\/p>\n*

According to experts, Iran has carried out at least 1,650 executions in 2025\u2014including 51 women\u2014marking the highest annual rate in decades. October alone saw 285 executions, followed by over 170 more in the first weeks of November. The speakers underscored the worsening violence against women and political prisoners and called for immediate international inspections of Iranian detention facilities.<\/p>\n
Maryam Rajavi<\/a> characterized<\/a> the ongoing wave of executions as \u201c Khamenei<\/a>\u2019s war against the people of Iran,\u201d asserting that the crisis presents a major test for the international community. She welcomed<\/a> the UN resolution for acknowledging, for the first time, the mass killings of political prisoners in the 1980s\u2014particularly the 1988 massacre<\/a>\u2014as acts that may constitute genocide and crimes against humanity. Mrs. Rajavi urged the United Nations to refer Iran\u2019s human rights violations to the Security Council and enact mechanisms for accountability.<\/p>\n
