The first Charter of Human Rights --
I am Kourosh (Cyrus), great king,…Now that I put the crown of the kingdom of Iran, Babylon, and the nations of the four directions on the head with the help of Ahura, I announce that I will respect the traditions, customs and religions of the nations of my empire and never let any of my governors and subordinates look down on or insult them while I am alive. …I will impose my monarchy on no nation. Each is free to accept it, and if any one of them rejects it, I never resolve on war to reign. While I am the king…I will never let anyone oppress others,… I will never let anyone take possession of movable and landed properties of the others by force or without compensation. While I am alive, I will prevent unpaid, forced labour. Today, I announce that everyone is free to choose a religion.…No one could be penalised for his or her relatives' faults…
Cyrus the Great:
That was Iran 2500 years ago! The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which says pretty much the same thing was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
This is what I know of Iran.

I know Persia was once a World Power. I believe the first known
Law came from Persia, the Code of Hammurabi, and the first
religion, Zoroasters teaching. I have also been looking into the Bahai faith, which is based on teachings of a Persian named Baha'u'llah.
