Our research shows that Iran\u2019s clan leaders deliberately place their associates and family members into powerful positions, then exploit their conflicts of interest to strengthen and expand the clans\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/tehranbureau.com\/issue\/political-business-empires\/\">political business empires<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given how prevalent the practice is, it is perhaps unsurprising that Iran\u2019s conflict of interest (COI) laws fall below global standards. A whole swathe of anti-corruption legislation, including COI laws, has been stalled in the Majles (parliament) since 2019 under unusual circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pending Legislation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transparency International defines conflict of interest as a situation where an individual or the entity for which they work, whether a government, business, media outlet, or civil society organization, is confronted with choosing between the duties and demands of their position and their own interests.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the IRI\u2019s laws and regulations in this area are limited and rudimentary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hassan Rouhani\u2019s administration drafted a relatively comprehensive bill consisting of 40 articles, which was presented to parliament in November 2019 as a \u201cdouble urgency\u201d bill. It has yet to receive Majles approval, and judging by media and expert opinion, its passage does not seem imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current version of the bill, \u201cThe methods of managing conflict of interest in the fulfilment of legal responsibilities and provision of public services,\u201d is available <a href=\"https:\/\/rc.majlis.ir\/fa\/legal_draft\/show\/1121467\">online<\/a>. The bill, shortened from an original 70 articles, has been criticized by Iranian law experts and officials as overidealistic and impractical.<span id='alefba-footnote-1-6765' class='alefba-footnote-margin-adjust'><\/span><span class='alefba-footnote'><a href='https:\/\/resanegar.com\/en\/irans-conflict-of-interest-laws-fall-below-global-standards\/#alefba-footnote-bottom-1-6765' title='See, for example: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.isna.ir\/news\/99093023315\/%D8%AD%D8%AC%D8%AA%DB%8C-%D9%84%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%AD%D9%87-%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B6-%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%B9-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D9%85%D9%88%D9%81%D9%82-%D9%86%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%AF-%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%AF&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;this link&lt;\/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.isna.ir\/news\/99100100636\/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D8%AD-%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%AA-%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B6-%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%B9-%DA%A9%D9%84%DB%8C-%D9%88-%D8%B4%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%B1%DA%AF%D9%88%D9%86%D9%87-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;this link&lt;\/a&gt;'><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> It basically focuses on the \u201cindividual\u201d and does not consider institutional or structural conflict of interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An alternative bill, consisting of 27 articles, has been drafted by MPs and is currently being reviewed by the parliament\u2019s social commission.<span id='alefba-footnote-2-6765' class='alefba-footnote-margin-adjust'><\/span><span class='alefba-footnote'><a href='https:\/\/resanegar.com\/en\/irans-conflict-of-interest-laws-fall-below-global-standards\/#alefba-footnote-bottom-2-6765' title='The most recent reports regarding its review were published in January 2021.'><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The drafting of alternative bills by the legislature is not common practice, as bills presented by the executive are supposed to take precedence over in-house parliament bills.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Legal Regime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A range of existing acts, law, and regulations explicitly or implicitly deal with the issue of conflict of interest, but they are unorganized, largely undetailed, and similarly oriented toward individual, not structural or institutional, conflict of interest.
