Abstract

Respecting the rights of minorities and prohibiting discrimination against them is considered to be one of the important issues that has recently received more attention and support from international institutions. Although in the past century, hostile and violent encounters with minorities have been varied, but at the same time, measures have been taken to respect the rights of minorities and ensure the peaceful coexistence of different ethnicities and groups. In this regard, the aim of the upcoming research is to examine the differences between Islamic and Western human rights, emphasizing the rights of minorities. Therefore, the question of the present article is, what rights and freedoms do minorities have in the Islamic human rights and human rights in the West? The method used in this research is analytical-adaptive and the method of collecting materials is library. The findings of the research are that in western countries, despite the adoption of protective laws regarding the rights of different minorities, the governments have acted very tactfully against these minorities and there are many cases of violations of the rights of minorities and women's visas, but Legal rights for religious minorities have been carefully considered in the Constitution of Iran, and from all these laws, it can be seen that Iran's minorities, despite their small population, have adequate opportunities compared to the minorities living in other countries.
