On International Human Rights Day (December 10, 2025), the independent platform JusticeDad published a 149-page draft document titled “Map of Advocacy: A Guide to Transitional Justice for Iran.” The guide, developed through extensive participatory processes involving over 800 civil society activists, lawyers, and researchers since 2023, outlines the principles, processes, and institutions needed for truth-seeking, criminal accountability, reparations, memorialization, and structural reform in a future democratic transition in Iran.
It proposes key mechanisms such as an independent Truth Commission and a specialized criminal tribunal for international crimes, while warning that without dismantling the structures that enabled decades of systematic human rights violations, cycles of impunity and repression could re-emerge in new forms. Presented explicitly as an open, living draft, the document invites broad public feedback from victims, marginalized communities, and experts to shape future versions and collective transitional justice initiatives.
