Iran proposes establishment of organization of Islamic states' judges
Visiting Iranian Judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi in Putrajaya, Malaysia, on Monday proposed establishment of a world assembly of judges of Islamic states.
Shahroudi, who is currently in Malaysia on an official three-day visit at the head of a delegation, held talks with Federal Court Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Abdul Halim.
He described the Iranian judicial system as "independent and unique" among Islamic and other states of the world.
He added that the Iranian judicial system can serve as a model for judicial systems of Islamic states particularly in terms of harmonizing religious and civil laws of these states.
The judiciary chief expressed hope Iran and Malaysia can further boost their current judicial cooperation and use their bilateral experiences to strengthen their judicial systems.
"Islamic states can reach joint understandings and valuable agreements to promote international law and human rights in their individual states by strengthening their judicial cooperation.
"The end result will be enhanced dignity for the Islamic world," Shahroudi said.
The Malaysian Federal Court's chief justice, for his part, welcomed Shahroudi's proposal for establishment of a world assembly of judges of Islamic states and called on Iran to take the initial steps in this regard.
