Local Applicant- Selection Priority in Employment Exams in Light of the Public Sector Employments Principles and Statutes

Employing skilled and expert personnel is a prerequisite for an efficient administration and a good public service that needs governing principles of: A) rule of law, B) equal public employment opportunity and C) meritocracy. Irans legislator has determined this principle in article 28 of Constitution and article 41 of Civil Service Management Act. Confrontation between local applicant- selection priority with that principle is subject of this article. Some organization like Administrative- Employment Organization have a positive approach to that but our finding shows disagreement of local applicant- selection priority with equal opportunity and meritocracy. Guardian Council have opinion on contradiction of this issue with the Constitution and General board of Administrative Justice Court with long silent about this issue, finally declared illegal.
