The status of balance of citizen-based and security-based approaches and mechanisms for balancing these two approaches in the Islamic revolutionary court of Iran.

Abstract

It is important to determine the status and extent of adherence to known principles of fair trial, that are essential and inevitable points. Although Iran's code of Criminal Procedure, adopted in 2013, in relation to former laws and influenced by human rights and humanitarian perspectives, has attempted to balance citizen-centered and security-centered approaches with increased attention to respect for citizenship, but there are still signs of adopting security-based approach during the trial of some of the crimes in this court that have caused problems and criticisms. Therefore, this article will attempt to possibly present the balancing approaches: balance among security-based and citizencentered approaches in achieving fair and just hearing.
