IRAN: A Roadmap for Peaceful Democratic Transition

This book introduces a newly crafted democratic constitution for Iran, designed to uphold human rights, promote inclusivity, and ensure long-term stability. It outlines a phased plan to transition from the current authoritarian framework to a democratic system through a peaceful, legally sound, and inclusive process. The roadmap emphasizes national reconciliation by offering amnesty and involving key stakeholders-including government officials, opposition leaders, civil society, business elites, the armed forces (both the Army and the IRGC), and the public-in shaping the transition. It also highlights the regional and global benefits of a democratic Iran, including enhanced stability, reduced security risks, energy security, and expanded trade opportunities, while fostering cooperation and economic growth locally and globally. By addressing the roles of influential sectors and reflecting on public demand for reform, the paper underscores the urgency for peaceful democratic transformation and demonstrates how the proposed constitution can meet both local aspirations and international interests.
