Critical Analysis of the Foundations and Instances of Citizenship Rights in Iran
Keywords:
Right, citizenship rights, principles, examplesAbstract
One of the important topics in legal discussions is citizenship rights. These rights are not only the focus of scholars but also attract the attention of ordinary individuals. A citizen, as a member of a society, is a person who possesses rights and duties in relation to this role. Attention to citizenship rights in any society strengthens the foundation, legitimacy, and continuity of the political system governing that society. Citizenship rights encompass various dimensions such as social, political, judicial, and cultural, and the extent and quality of benefiting from them in each society constitute indicators of development and elements of good governance. In Iran, the rights of citizens have been set forth in the Holy Qur’an and in the text of the Constitution. In this article, an attempt will be made to analytically critique and examine the foundations and instances of citizenship rights within the Iranian legal system. The existing laws and enactments in the field of citizenship rights in Iran contain numerous positive and negative aspects, and addressing these aspects serves as a turning point in restoring the concept of citizenship and citizenship rights. In each section, the author, while presenting the foundations and instances of citizenship rights based on divine scripture and the Constitution, has provided a critical analysis of them.
