Examination of the Procedures of the General Inspection Organization in Addressing Administrative Offenses and Violations

Abstract

The General Inspection Organization, as one of the principal supervisory bodies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is responsible for overseeing the proper implementation of laws and addressing administrative offenses and violations. This organization operates based on the principles of the Constitution and statutory laws, including the Islamic Penal Code and the Law on Administrative Violations. Article 576 of the Islamic Penal Code (Book Five: Ta’zirat) and the Law on the Promotion of Administrative System Health are among the key legal foundations influencing the performance of this organization. This article examines the role of the General Inspection Organization in identifying and addressing administrative violations and the effectiveness of the laws applied in preventing administrative corruption. Furthermore, the operational procedures, challenges, and legal instruments utilized by the General Inspection Organization in handling administrative violations are analyzed. The significance of this organization's cooperation with other supervisory and judicial bodies to ensure the effective implementation of laws and reduce administrative offenses is also emphasized. The findings of this study indicate that proper coordination and the effective utilization of legal capacities can significantly contribute to reducing violations and enhancing administrative integrity.
