Legal Texts, Advocacy Materials, and Manuals
Gozaar maintains a collection of international legal texts and international conventions and treaties, which are available in both English and Persian. Iran’s quest for justice and rule of law can be greatly enhanced through access to key international legal instruments. Unlike the Arab Middle East, Iran does not benefit from having UN documents available in its native language. Human rights defenders, legal scholars, and students of law must be able to read English if they are to benefit from legal texts and advocacy materials developed to help human rights advocates lobby at international fora. Such texts include The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam. Similarly, Gozaar has translated into Persian manuals and tools for the effective defense of human rights and activism published by other organizations which support human rights in Iran and globally.

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or manuals:
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“In spite of the six thousand manuals on child raising in the bookstores, child raising is still a dark continent and no one really knows anything. You just need a lot of love and luck—and, of course, courage.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
