In this very respect, the author believes in the hypothesis that despite the various views and interpretations of some countries - including the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI)- concerning human rights, the universality of the fundaments of human rights has been strengthened since the end of the Cold War. To test the aforementioned hypothesis, the researcher reviews the extent to which differentcountrieshave welcomed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the adoption of human rights conventions and covenants, the statements made by international conferences and regional summits on the universality of human rights, and also the responses of certain states especially the IRI and the Like-Minded Group (LMG) of countries.
In the International Conference of Human Rights held in Tehran in 1968, the representatives of 84 states adopted the Tehran Declaration which stressed the commitment of all those countries who have signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
<111 The Tehran International Conference on Human Rights approved the fundamental principles within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and adopted the guidelineswhich we are nowadaystrying to implement.
Furthermore, an analytical comparison of the number of countries which had become state parties to human rights conventions and covenants until 1989 with that of the countries which had done so by 2000 (as demonstrated in tables 1 and 2) indicates the extent of the consolidation of human rights universality in the New World Order following the end of the Cold War.
