Before you begin The Iranian Diaspora Cooperation & Development Council is a peer-to-peer network. It is not a university and acts for no government, party, corporation or faith body.

Outside sources keep their own licences. A listing or a link is not an endorsement.

How this page handles evidence

Every figure carries its measure, year, source and label. Unknown is shown as unknown.

Verified
A label: the item matches its primary record, such as the official table or the Crossref entry.
Secondary source
A label: the figure comes from a reliable report about the source, not from the source itself.
To verify
A label: the item is listed as found and still needs checking against its source.

01 How we choose

  • Only official or recognised bodies are listed: governments, public bodies, parliaments, independent national institutions and international organisations.
  • Each entry links to the body’s own site. Nothing is copied or hosted here.
  • Each entry names its authority, its country and topic, and the date it was checked.
  • Verified means the link opened the body’s own page on the date shown.
  • To verify means the link has not yet been confirmed. Check it before you rely on it.
  • No party, candidate, movement or armed group is listed or endorsed.
  • Where a country has no checked body for a topic, the page says so.
