Iran Human Rights Documentation Center documents and reports on human rights abuses in Iran. Its mission is to establish a comprehensive, objective historical record of the situation since the 1979 revolution, identify accountability for patterns of abuses, and provide an accessible public archive for research and education. The organization also aims to promote accountability, respect for human rights, and the rule of law in Iran, and to encourage informed dialogue among scholars and the public in Iran and internationally. Based in New Haven, Connecticut, the center operates in the international affairs field as a mid-sized organization focused on documenting rights abuses. Its work serves researchers, policymakers, and others seeking verifiable information about Iran's human rights record. In 2023 it participated in the Iranian Archive initiative coordinated by Mnemonic's Rapid Response team, a collaboration led by the Atlantic Council, with partners including the Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA, the Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley School of Law, the Azadi Archive, and Amnesty International's Digital Verification Corps.
