Ahvaz:The head of the Justice Department in Khuzestan Province has put forward a proposal to create a joint assembly of tribal leaders from Khuzestan and Iraq.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Ali Dehqani discussed the significance of the province's Peace Assembly during a ceremony on Sunday. The assembly, consisting of around 300 tribal and clan elders, plays a crucial role in preventing and resolving disputes, especially those related to trade and social interactions with Iraq.

Dehqani suggested that the proposed joint assembly would include tribal leaders from both regions and would have active secretariats in Ahvaz and Khorramshahr. This initiative aims to prevent disputes and foster economic and social relations between the two nations.

Over the past five years, the efforts of peace advocates have led to the settlement of 901 Qisas (retribution) cases and have averted 1,725 major legal cases. Additionally, Dehqani highlighted that 8,425 cases had been resolved through mutual agreement at police stations and posts.
