A Comparative Study of the Economic Rights of Nations in the Constitutions of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan

Ensuring the economic rights of nations has always been one of the crucial and significant duties of governments and is among the highly important issues of governance. A country that fails to secure the economic rights of its people gradually experiences governance instability and faces public dissent. The constitutions of both Iran and Pakistan, as countries with Islamic Republic political systems, have paid attention to mentioning economic rights in their constitutions while considering the interests and welfare of the nation. However, some principles of these two constitutions, which exemplify the economic rights of the nation, have strengths and weaknesses. Achieving the economic rights of the people as stipulated in these two constitutions necessitates the review and correction of the weaknesses. This study, written using a descriptive-analytical method, explains the logic governing economic rights and distinguishes this right from other rights of the nation. It also examines and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the instances of economic rights stated in the constitutions of Iran and Pakistan.
