Confronting Iran’s Threat to Global Security

The Henry Jackson Society was pleased to welcome back Iranian dissident Amir Abbas Fakhravar at November 4, 2024 in the house of Parliament. The discussion was about whether the time has come for Iran to adopt a universal, ideology-free constitution and whether this transition could be realized in today’s Iran—ultimately enhancing its international standing.

In his recent book, The Spirit of the Constitutional Law, Amir Abbas Fakhravar outlines practical mechanisms for such a transition, drawing from Iran’s history and other historical case studies. His research also suggests ways to resolve complex conflicts, such as the Israel-Hamas war, and to address the challenges posed by Iran’s IRGC-backed proxies, including the Houthis and Hezbollah.

Declaration of Freedom

The people of Iran have campaigned in quest of freedom and democracy for over a century. Such has been a battle to cut short the hands of celestial and terrestrial ideologies from the people’s lives, affording them proprietorship of their destiny. In an era when civilized citizens of the globe hand in hand with their wise and elected governments strive for welfare, happiness, peace and security, we the people of Iran seek the opportunity to restitute love, hope, and sanctity of life to our homeland, a land which has for millennia served as the cradle of human civilization. Deriving guidance from the ancient Persian principles of righteousness of thought, of utterance, and of deed, our belief is predicated upon the creative essence of freedom for all mankind, hence the inalienable right of all Iranian to live free of oppression and discrimination with justice and equality in structuring the path of our country. In this spirit a mass endeavor is underway in which Iranian patriots, living in Iran or abroad, have equal determination rights and are in pursuit of three goals, any success obtained in the course of which will be preserved to the last breath:

 

1. Establishment of a Democratic Government befitting Iranians
2. Drafting a Constitution to define a Free, and Democratic Iran
3. A Free, and Democratic Iran as an honorable member of international community

United States Congressional Research Service report on Iran, May 2021

“Student dissident groups composed of well-educated, Westernized urban youth have been the backbone of the Iranian opposition. …The Confederation of Iranian Students (CIS), led by U.S.-based Amir Abbas Fakhravar, believes in regime replacement and in 2013 formed a “National Iran Congress” to advocate that outcome. The group has drafted a constitution for a future republic of Iran and, in concert with 2017-2018 protests in Iran, supports the formation of a “revolutionary council” that could take power if the regime were to collapse. Cofounder Arzhang Davoodi has been in prison since 2002 and in July 2014 was sentenced to death. The sentence has not been implemented to date.” Read more …
