THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS AND JUDICATURE AND JUDICIAL SECURITY IN IRAN


Kurosh SIRI
Abstract

The present study aims at investigating the concept “judicial security” as a fundamental human right as part of a larger citizenship right that has to be attended by the judicature. Therefore, the study tries to analyze and evaluate the concepts, principles and the regulations related to citizenship rights. Thus, firstly, we need to define security so as to use it as a premise for defining the judicial security. Judicial security is an immunity that is obtained as caused by securing fair and just trial principles and structures as well as by independent and unbiased judges. Fair and just trial is per se enumerated inter alia the rule of law principles and therefore the way the rule of law and its necessities are viewed by the judicature, such as safeguarding the justice and impartiality of the high-ranking judicial authorities, have also been taken into consideration. Next, the requirements of fair trial in line with actualization of judicial security, such as the law-centeredness of crime investigations and punishments and the parity before the law have also been taken into account.
