Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO); 28 September 2026: The sixth Oslo conference organised by Iran Human Rights concluded after two days of discussions between Iranian opposition parties and organisations with diverse political backgrounds. The conference included closed-door discussions on possibilities for joint human rights action and a public ceremony at which representatives of participating organisations signed the Minimum Human Rights Principles. The dialogue will continue, with the aim of identifying and pursuing concrete human rights actions across political divides. Fifteen opposition parties and organisations have endorsed the Minimum Human Rights Principles, developed through a year-long dialogue facilitated by Iran Human Rights. Representatives of 12 of the organisations were present in Oslo for the conference, entitled “Iran’s Human Rights Crisis: From Shared Principles to Joint Action.” Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, Director of Iran Human Rights, said: “The signing of the Minimum Human Rights Principles by 15 opposition parties and organisations with different political backgrounds, views and programmes is a significant step. It shows that we can disagree profoundly on political questions while respecting each other’s fundamental rights. Building a culture of democracy and human rights cannot wait until after political change; it has to begin with how we treat each other today.” He added: “The real significance of what happened in Oslo will be determined by what follows. If groups with profound political differences can defend each other’s fundamental rights and take concrete action when the rights of people anywhere in Iran are violated, they are not only defending human rights today; they are also helping to build the democratic and human rights culture that a future Iran will need.”
