The Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran — commonly known as the Majlis — has become one of the most important arenas in the country’s ongoing political, constitutional and geopolitical crisis. While Iran’s real centers of power still lie with the Supreme Leader, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and unelected oversight institutions, the Majlis in 2026 is playing a highly visible role in legitimizing state policy, managing public anger, and shaping Iran’s position in negotiations with the West.

we have the distinct honour of speaking with Year 2014 Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, a global leader whose lifelong work has transformed the fight against child labour, trafficking, and exploitation.

Mr. Satyarthi’s efforts have not only rescued thousands of children but have also shaped international discourse on child rights, influencing governments, global institutions, and civil society across the world. His advocacy reminds us that the protection of children is not merely a social responsibility, but a fundamental test of governance and democratic accountability.
