Anti-Corruption Efforts Must Be Lawful, Firm and Non-Discriminatory

Mazandaran's Chief Justice stressed that corruption must be dealt with lawfully, firmly and without discrimination, and that preventing crime is essential.

According to the report of Ambassador Arjan from Mazandaran, Abbas Pouriani said in a meeting with the director general and employees of Mazandaran Inspection Organization: fighting corruption, protecting people's rights and wealth, and preventing crimes are among the most important joint responsibilities of the judicial system and the inspection organization, and in dealing with corruption and violations, no appeasement is acceptable.

Emphasizing the necessity of identifying corruption bottlenecks, prioritizing the province's important issues and improving the quality of monitoring reports, he added: The purpose of monitoring is not only to identify defects and deal with violations, but also to correct matters, prevent crime, improve administrative health and provide a basis for the activities of law-abiding managers.

Referring to the importance of crime prevention, the Chief Justice of Mazandaran said: Early identification of the areas and openings of corruption in the executive bodies and planning to eliminate them can prevent the occurrence of violations and the filing of court cases.

Emphasizing equal treatment of violators, Pouriani added: No manager, institution, or organization should consider itself above the law, and whenever a violation or criminal behavior is found, it should be dealt with according to the law.

He also considered it necessary to improve the quality of surveillance reports and said: the reports that are the basis for filing a court case must have expert accuracy, valid documentation and sufficient legal strength so that judicial decisions can be made based on reliable information.

In another part of his speech, the Chief Justice of Mazandaran emphasized the necessity of monitoring the performance of state-owned companies and economic complexes and added: expert examination of the problems of these complexes should be done with the aim of maintaining economic capacities, supporting production and preventing the violation of public rights, and legal action should be taken if a violation or crime is found.

Pouriani considered the support of law-abiding managers to be necessary along with effective supervision and said: supervision should lead to the improvement of processes, improvement of productivity and removal of legal and administrative obstacles in order to provide the basis for legal economic activities and the development of the province.

Referring to Mazandaran's geographic, economic, tourism and population characteristics, he added: In addition to the resident population, this province receives a large number of travelers and compatriots from all over the country. Therefore, the provision of infrastructure, facilities and credits should be proportional to the province's responsibilities.

In the end, the Chief Justice of Mazandaran emphasized the necessity of continuous interaction between the judicial system and the inspection organization and said: protecting people's rights, preserving the treasury, preventing crime and promoting administrative health, requires coherent planning, using the capacity of experts and serious follow-up of priority issues.
