Abstract

Subsequent to Mina Catastrophe in 2015 and the death of about 500 Iranian hajjis, the observation of the survivors’ rights is regarded a significant issue.
In the present article, after a review on the nature of Mina Catastrophe in terms of rights, it has been investigated the ways of considering the rights of survivors regarding the capacities of international rights, the rights of Islamic Republic of Iran as well as Saudi Arabia’s.
On the basis of a realistic investigation, observing the rights of survivors and their families would be dependent on the capacities of internal and international rights. This issue will be pursued in fields such as relying on the capacity of friendship contract among Iran and Hejaz in 1929, 3003 Ionesco convention concerning preservation of universal abstract cultural inheritance and also referring to the pseudo crime law about the foreigners in America in which the violation of human rights in Mina catastrophe is considered the violation of common international law.
