Stop Child Executions (SCE) is the leading organization providing information and updates on the situation of minors on death row in Iran. SCE is run entirely by volunteers and is an independent, non-political human rights group whose aim is to put a permanent end to child executions. As of December 2008, SCE has documented 7 children executed and over 140 children waiting on death row in Iran despite its commitment under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Charter of the Rights of the Child. SCE lobbies governments and encourages politicians and private citizens to put pressure on offending countries to commute and ban executions of juveniles. SCE helps to act as a liaison between families seeking legal counsel and human rights lawyers, as well as channeling information from Iran to international human rights groups like Amnesty International and organizations like the United Nations.
