Abstract

Non-governmental actors play a crucial role both internationally and nationally. Since these new actors are geographically and functionally diverse, it is impossible for government actors to ignore them. The non-government sector is at once a rival and a partner for the government. When it comes to human rights, these organizations are more of an opponent of governments; however, when it comes to health, development, and the environment, they are more of a partner. Although these organizations play an active role in Iran's legal system when it comes to environmental protection, there are still many gaps in the reaction phase. Appropriate conditions must be provided to ensure their participation in environmental litigation so that they can attain their desired position in criminal proceedings as quasi-prosecutors.
