The significant role that "development" plays in preserving, improving, and advancing human life has led it to be recognized as a "human right" alongside other recognized rights. This right, known as the "right to development," was formally introduced into global legal discourse with the adoption of the "Declaration on the Right to Development" on December 4, 1986, through Resolution 128/41 of the UN General Assembly. Since then, it has been acknowledged in international documents and conferences, as well as in domestic laws of various countries. The question that this article seeks to address is: what is the place of the right to development in the legal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran? In answering this question, it appears that while the "right to development" is not explicitly mentioned in Iran's legal system, the components and elements constituting this right are affirmed, emphasized, and specified in the high-ranking documents and laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran. To assess this hypothesis, this article relies on a documentary method and analysis of documents, laws, and regulations to examine and analyze the position of the right to development in the legal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
