An external expert, shall appoint a new location, when the Council convenes in June.

All of the previous regional researchers have created the International Criminal Tribunal for the former, the Commission referred to the rule of law, human rights, long dominated by the countries of the rights of the accused kuolemajälkeisiä records, a new Council is replaced by the text in the body.

The White House welcomed the move by President Barack Obama, national security adviser, Tom Donilon, saying it was "a historic milestone that confirms the general consensus and alarm systems for human rights in Iran's dark state."

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Secretary William Hague said the decline was "unacceptable" human rights in Iran, and the new law, with the exception of the investigator can provide encouragement to the many Iranians "who continue to COURAGEOUSLY speak about their BOLD and other rights."

The Hague, said the Iranian authorities after the 2009 elections "have systematically sought to silence any dissenting voices and harassing human rights activists, lawyers, journalists, and the last opposition leader (Mir Hossein) via Mousavi and Karroubi (the Mahdi)."
