Recommendations 29. Based on the above information, the co-submitting organisations urge reviewing States to make the following recommendations to Iran: I. Review the provisions of the Act on Determination of the Nationality of Children Born into Marriages of Iranian Women with Men of Foreign Nationality amending the Civil Code, and to ensure that all children who are born to Iranian mothers, including children born out of wedlock, are entitled to Iranian citizenship on the same conditions as children born to Iranian fathers; II. As part of broader efforts to advance gender equality, reform the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran to uphold women’s ability to change and retain their nationality, and to confer their nationality on children and spouses on an equal basis with men; III. Accede to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, as well as the 1954 Convention on the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness; IV. Ensure every child’s right to a nationality and implement effective and adequate safeguards against statelessness, with particular emphasis on ensuring the right to a nationality of children of Afghan or stateless fathers and children born in the Sistan and Baluchistan provinces. V. Develop and implement civil documentation and registration campaigns that address inter-generational lack of documentation, in particular in the Sistan and Baluchistan Provinces; VI. Ensure that the birth of every child is registered, regardless of the nationality or lack thereof of their parents, by addressing legal, administrative, financial and cultural barriers; VII. Ensure that all international and regional obligations related to the right to nationality, prevention and reduction of statelessness, protection of stateless persons, non- discrimination, and birth registration are fully incorporated into domestic law and implemented in practice; and, VIII. Strengthen the collection and monitoring of disaggregated data (including by ethnicity, age, and gender) and conduct a comprehensive mapping on state lessness and the risk of statelessness, with appropriate safeguards in place to ensure anonymity. 10
