Field and Aims: Transparency in governance is recognized as a key instrument for safeguarding public rights and strengthening public participation in state affairs. However, lack of transparency in the activities and decision-making of key governance actors weakens public engagement and democratic principles. In recent years, the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Parliament) has taken steps toward addressing this issue by proposing and passing initiatives aimed at enhancing transparency in the functioning of governance institutions, including the plan titled “Transparency of the Three Branches of Power, Executive Bodies, and Other Institutions.”
Method: This article has been prepared using a descriptive – analytical approach.
Findings and Conclusions: Transparency in crime-inducing situations: Disclosure of information about programs, qualifications, approved projects, assets, revenues, expenditures, and investment opportunities reduces opportunities for crime. Publication of information related to large and medium-sized contracts, tariffs, and administrative procedures enables public oversight and decreases the likelihood of abuse. Transparency in managers’ and employees’ income: Article 2 of the Transparency Law obliges institutions and bodies to publish information regarding the education, background, and income of managers and employees. This requirement sends a clear message of potential accountability and warns potential offenders that extensive monitoring and control mechanisms are in place. The study demonstrates that transparency, as a situational crime prevention tool, plays a crucial role in reducing opportunities for crime and enhancing public trust. Mandatory disclosure of information—particularly regarding administrative and financial processes and income—creates deterrence, diminishes crime-inducing situations, and strengthens the rule of law. The approval of the “Transparency of the Three Branches of Power” plan represents a significant step toward achieving these objectives.
