Abstract

The principle of "rule of law" has several roles in public law. It has the role of principles, goals and tools of democracy and human rights. The rule of law as a tool for creating and guaranteeing human rights, with the predictability of the future of the citizen and imposing restrictions on the government, is in a position where the concept of freedom and human rights is impossible without the rule of law. Anti-authoritarianism is one of the many principles of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially in the third chapter for human rights, which does not have a means of guaranteeing it in a centralized way. But it is possible to find a way to guarantee tools based on the rule of law that are scattered in its principles. This article analyzes the role of the rule of law and the guarantee of its implementation in guaranteeing and realizing human rights and fundamental freedoms in an analytical and descriptive manner by counting the cases mentioned in the constitution.

In this research, it is clear that the principle of the rule of law, and its requirements (the principle of incompetence, accountability...) has limited the ruler's behavior and performance by guaranteeing implementation, and human rights can be realized by making the future of citizens predictable. The goals and principles of the constitution have provided the goal of this sovereignty, but the existence of some interpretable words and practical procedures can create challenges in this article.
