Iran and the Convention on the Rights of the Child,
Iran signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child Persian date Shahrivar 1369 and in July 1373 formally joined. Although Iran has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified the treaty but not without opposition and serious concerns. شورای نگهبان قانون اساسی در بهمن ۱۳۷۳ اعلام کرد که چندین مورد از جمله حق کودک بر شکل گیری دیدگاه هایش، حق کودک در آزادی بیان و حق جستجو و مسئولیت دولت در محدود نکردن کودک در آزادی گردهمایی و آماده سازی کودک برای زندگی برابر جنسی با شریعت Islamic incompatible.
According to this view, the parliament finally adopted the Convention on the rights of the child on the condition that whenever provisions in conflict with “domestic law and Islamic principles” is not mandatory by the government of Islamic Republic of Iran.
چنین شرط نامحدودی، در عمل پیمان حقوق کودک را بی‌ثمر و ناکارا می‌سازد و به دولت ایران اجازه می دهد که از بسیاری از وظایف و تعهدهایی که این معاهده بر آنها تاکید کرده سر باز زند.

In the field of violence,

In the field of educational, recreational and cultural activities,
the Committee is concerned that children LGBT harassment and expulsion from school for non-compliance with social norms of femininity or masculinity and the Islamic Republic recommends that prohibits bullying and harassment and prevent it and discipline.
Islamic Republic of Iran since its official position regarding the UN Children’s Rights Committee comments yet. Of course, more likely, simply present the Iranian government to respect fundamental changes in the field of children’s rights and the obligations of its global LGBT community is not, on the pretext of violation of the “Islamic law,” the soldier says.
In this case, the Children’s Rights Committee can not force Iran to fulfill its international obligations and is unable Islamic Republic of techniques such as economic sanctions or political sanctions, to respect the rights of all children, including children LGBT force.
But the Iranian government’s disregard for its international obligations to respect human rights in Iran in good status worldwide and produce political reputation is damaged.
In addition, regardless of whether the Islamic Republic asking what to react to this, the final terms of the UN Children’s Committee, reaffirmed the international community sensitivities of the Islamic Republic of Iran is not implementing human rights obligations; concerns about violations of gay rights Iran, UN human rights bodies have repeatedly raised.
