Criticism of the Executive Regulation of the European Union Regarding the Sanction of the “Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice” Headquarters and its Secretary

On January 23, the Council of the European Union approved the executive regulation proposed by the Commission of the Union and the High Representative of the Union regarding the imposition of restrictions on several Iranian entities and individuals and stipulated that it is applicable in all member states. In this document, several persons and institutions, including the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice headquarters and its secretary, are sanctioned. In this descriptive-analytical note, we are looking for an answer to the question whether this sanction has a justified legal basis. If any loss or damage is caused by this sanction to the headquarters or its secretary or to the people of Iran, what mechanism is there to compensate it? In addition to the indirect attack of this document on the fundamental rights of the Iranian people under the pretext of protecting the people and the ability to demand compensation for the damages caused by this decision of the European Union due to the violation of some international and European human rights documents, considering the gross errors in Regarding the executive position and performance of the headquarters secretary, the legal nature of the headquarters, the legal duties and performance of the headquarters in the past two years, and the great similarity of the literature contained in that document with the literature of the media flow of the rebels and subversives, it seems that the writing of this document It has been entrusted to the agents of the aforementioned organizations, especially the terrorists of the Mojahedin Khalq. This decision, which cannot be unrelated to Europe's adherence to America's policies against Iran, has been approved with gross error by an institution that claims to dominate the rights and decide the fate of other nations.
