Manifesto of Justice for All

Introduction:

Democracy vs Justice

What is democracy? Is democracy suitable form of government for every nation in this global village? Is there one version of democracy that every nation should incorporating that version of democracy in their government so there is no more argument about one nation is following rule of democracy or not? There are many more questions on horizon to be asked about concept of democracy and let's pose a question on the theocratic state in Iran; is the theocratic regime in Iran democracy? The theocratic state in Iran would claim that it is democracy, but it is unlike Western democracy. The above claim of the regime is not a bizarre statement, after all there is not one version of democracy, so all nations would copy and paste that version of democracy in their government components and there would not be any further argument about concept of democracy. Interestingly, there are many flavor of democracies in this world with own unique characteristics which stands out among other nations.

Coming to focal point of this introductory paper that there is a censure on the theocratic state in Iran that there is no proper electoral system because there are two body of state agencies which are controlling the electoral process in Iran, as these agencies are screening individuals whom are interested to run for parliamentary offices. These body of states agencies are screening candidates prior to election time in order to make sure eligible and suitable individuals would be running for the offices, and to represent will and interest of their constituencies in the parliament. These state agencies are the Guardian Council of the Constitution which is an appointed and constitutionally mandated 12 member council that wields considerable power and influence in the theocratic state in Iran. The constitution calls for six Islamic jurists whom are conscious of the present needs, and the issues of the day that they are appointed by the supreme leader of Iran. In addition, there is Judicial Power that it would appoint among Muslim member of parliament six jurists whom are specialized in different areas of law. Last, portion of the state agency would be Assembly of Experts which is composed of 86 Islamic scholars that they would appoint supreme leader of Iran. The above process would take place in Western nations, too. When an individual would like to run for an office, s/he needs to be approve by a political party. Than, this candidate would run for an office. Of course, an individual may run as an independent candidate for an office which would be one flavor of Western democracy. Moreover, there is proportional representation in Western parliaments which would be another flavor of Western democracy. So far, the theocratic regime in Iran has not done anything wrong. As a matter of fact, the regime in Iran would claim that it is safe-guarding interest of people, and would like to make sure right individuals would represent will and interest of their constituencies in the parliament.

In a democracy nation, there is a civil-society which means that media would engage in scrutinizing many facets of the system like political system, social system and economic system that the system would be functioning efficiently, smoothly, and would be like a watch dog on opulent character of a society. Plus, the media would operate as a system of check and balance of the system in order to prevent politicians to abuse their power. Moreover, there are volunteer organizations like trade unions, social movement organizations and many more organizations which are not made by the state, and do their best to influence public policy in the parliament. The theocratic regime in Iran would claim that it had the above components. There is a free media in Iran which is reporting events. For example, media in Iran stated that $210 billion US was missing from the parliament. It was unclear where the money went, but the media reported the above fact. There are many trade unions, non-governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, and many more agencies which are not made by the state in Iran, as they report abuse in Iran. In addition, the theocratic regime in Iran would claim that the above entities have right to appear in the parliament and to influence the public policy in the parliament or to organize a peaceful assembly.

Despite all above statements which were mentioned in this paper. In Iran, the problem is not democracy because democracy is a very broad concept, and there is no one form of democracy which can be applied to all states and govern people with that particular form of democracy. However, the problem in Iran is about injustice as supreme leader of Iran call himself Sign of God/Ayatollah, and decides for every aspect of political, social, and economic, and others really do not have any input in the system, and everyone must blindly follow and obey command of the supreme leader. Truly, where is justice in this system that everyone must follow, and obey command of the Sign of God/Ayatollah? Can one man be so wise and flawless, and decide for every aspect of a state? Is it justifiable for one Ayatollah to decide for everything? Is it reasonable to allow one person to monopolize political power? What would be out-come of allowing one man who call himself Sign of God/Ayatollah to possess political power? It does not mean by reducing power of Sign of God/Ayatollah this unjust system in Iran has any prospect of betterment because this unjust system created by individuals that they had all ill intentions to do injustice in Iran, and these corrupt elements have all ill intentions of perpetuating injustice in Iran for many years to come by, and implemented their ill intentions in the system in order to secure and prolong their new found wealth of Iran and Iranian. Henceforth, Iran is in desperate needs of justice, and a just justice.

The bottom line here that the political term democracy is an irrelevant notion for Iran and Iranian. Most importantly, this whole idea of democracy has inflicted many pain on Iran and Iranian, and what Iran and Iranian need is just justice, and this justice would illuminate darkness in every corner of Iran and would bring peace and harmony in Iran once for all.

Closing this portion of this paper by saying to my beloved pure divine motherland of Iran, just justice shall prevail in Iran, and those individuals whom trespassed you, they shall be brought before just justice, and pay for their sins that they committed to Iran, and Iranian. I swear to pain of death, I never would give-up until just justice, and not street justice, to become a light of peace, prosperity, and harmony in Iran. In my life, I never took one step backward during calamity, and have no intention to let down Iran. It is regardless of what I will face in future because of what I am pursuing. It is a promise, true to my word, to last drop of my blood, and as I take last breath of air into my lungs to take the final journey from this world, and before closing my eyes from this world, I shall shout-out loud Justice for Pure Divine Motherland of Iran.

Thank you
