Our story

The Other Face of Human Rights (OFOHR) research group is one of the specialized research groups at the University of Isfahan conducting academic research in the field of human rights. It was founded to respond to the urgent need of presenting an accurate and comprehensive picture of the Islamic intellectual foundations and legal conditions of Iranian society in foreign arenas and international organizations.
The group has attempted to establish a link between current domestic and foreign issues and academic and research activities by addressing human rights topics such as the status of human rights in Islamic teachings, the role of international organizations in the realization or non-realization of human rights, violations of Iranian and other nations’ human rights by countries claiming human rights, and other related topics.
OFOHR has also tried to establish an elite network of thinkers and researchers in the field of human rights by facilitating contact between professors, students, and activists in this field at home and abroad. This important goal has been achieved through holding meetings, lectures, scientific seminars, publishing books and articles, and the like to elaborate on human rights issues as much as possible. We hope that these scientific and research activities can be a major step toward the realization of human rights around the world so that all human beings can live in a world free of discrimination, oppression, and injustice.
