Beginning today, November 2 and continuing until Friday, November 3, the UN’s Social Forum of the Human Rights Council will be meeting to focus “on the contribution of science, technology and innovation to the promotion of human rights, including in the context of post-pandemic recovery.”

So naturally, this being the United Nations, the forum will be headed (literally) by Iran’s Ali Bahreini:

Ali Bahreini took office as Ambassador, Permanent Representative of I.R. Iran to the United Nations Office at Geneva, in Switzerland on 28 September 2022.

Prior to his appointment, since 2016, Mr. Bahreini was, Advisor to the Deputy Minister for Political Affairs at the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
