Deputy Foreign Minister Emphasizes Justice as a Cornerstone of Islamic Diplomacy

In the world of Islamic diplomacy, upholding justice is a vital responsibility, as emphasized by Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi. His recent remarks at the Fourth Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ombudsman Association General Assembly Meeting highlight the importance of ombudsman institutions in promoting transparency and preventing corruption.

During his address in Tehran, Gharibabadi articulated several key points regarding the role of ombudsman institutions:

  • Prevention of Corruption: Ombudsman institutions play a crucial role in curbing corruption within government entities.
  • Promotion of Transparency: These institutions are essential for ensuring transparency in governmental affairs.
  • Sharing Achievements: Iran is eager to share its successes in strengthening regulatory institutions and protecting citizens’ rights.
  • Information Exchange: Establishing a network among Islamic nations can enhance the exchange of information, particularly in combating corruption and human rights abuses.
  • Sustainable Development: A coordinated approach could lead to sustainable development across the region.

Gharibabadi stated, “The OIC Ombudsman Association empowers a network of ombudsman institutions from the OIC countries to safeguard human rights, champion good governance, and drive public administration excellence across the Islamic world,” according to the official website of the OIC Ombudsman Association.

This collaborative effort aims to reinforce the commitment of Islamic nations towards justice, governance, and the protection of human rights, fostering a more transparent and accountable political landscape.
