Robert’s Rules of Order in Iran

Since about thirty years ago, I have been publishing journals for varieties of organizations and, according to my profession, my main concern was the ineffectiveness and failure of social organizations in Iran. More than a decade ago (2007) and during the study of the bylaws of various organizations, for the first time, I met Robert’s Rules Orders, and since then my main concern has been the learning of these rules, the understanding of the historical factors of the emergence of these rules in the civilized society, and the historical barriers of the rule of law in non-civilized countries, and to effort to educate and promote these rules in Iran. I think that the experiences gained in this field, which are the product of the historic clash of globalization with a rural crowd who immigrated to Tehran, are worth reaching the universal audience. For this reason, I try to present parts of my recollection to the "rule of law" enthusiasts around the world through a series of notes published on this website.

Founding the Main Society, according to Robert’s Rules of Order (News)

Friday 29 November 2019

Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2019, the ninth monthly regular meeting of the sponsors of the Main Society took place in the Cadres’ Office in Tehran. More than a decade ago (2007), the Cadres’ Office established in order to instruct and promote Robert’s Rules of Order in Iran. The inaugural workshop for this purpose took place early 2012 and the main objective of its participants was to found the first Iranian society upon Robert’s Rules of Order. The workshop continued its meetings for a while but failed to establish the purposed society because both the instructor and the students were not learned the parliamentary procedures well. More than a decade experiences were needed in order the instructor himself would understand the common parliamentary law as a modern legal system and acquire the necessary skills for presiding a deliberative assembly according parliamentary procedures.
