The position of the concept of the doctrine of "responsibility to protect" in the principles and foundations of the legal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran with an emphasis on administrative law

The "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) doctrine emerged in the early 21st century, following the evolution of such principles as sovereignty, non-intervention, and humanitarian intervention. This doctrine posits that states hold the primary responsibility for protecting civilians from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. Should a state fail to protect its citizens, this responsibility shifts to the international community. Reflecting Islamic teachings and universal human values, the Islamic Republic of Iran advocates for oppressed and underprivileged populations worldwide. The doctrine's applicability spans both international and domestic spheres, marking its significant influence on administrative law. This influence is particularly pronounced given the intrinsic imbalance existing in the state-individual relationship. Manifestations of the R2P in administrative law encompass the imperative to uphold human dignity and ensure equal opportunity in accessing public services. The primary question this research addresses is: What is the significance of the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine within the legal framework of the Islamic Republic of Iran? Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, this study relies on a library-based approach for data collection.
