According to the History and Culture Desk of SaedNews, a historic and pride-filled moment has arrived for every Iranian. In the heart of Central Asia, at the 43rd UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand, our 2,500-year-old heritage once again took center stage. This video captures the official moment when the Cyrus the Great Charter was recognized as the world’s first written human rights document and a global symbol of cultural diversity.
The Cyrus Charter is not merely an ancient text—it is a civilizational declaration that introduced fundamental principles of justice, religious freedom, and human dignity at a time when many of today’s civilizations had yet to emerge. Its recognition is a global affirmation of the deep roots and authenticity of Iranian culture in shaping the highest human ideals.
Stand and witness: after centuries of silence, Iran’s voice now resonates with authority and dignity in the world’s foremost cultural institution. This heritage is our spiritual legacy for the future of humanity. Today, the world bows to the grandeur of our civilization. This honor belongs to every individual who breathes under the name of Iran.
