Khaberni - There is no doubt that utilizing international experts to look into amendments to the social security law may initially seem like a rational step, however, reality imposes itself to say: "A grieving mother is not like one who is hired". So how can we allow eyes unfamiliar with our struggles and hands distant from our suffering to draft a law that is supposed to represent our rights and needs?!
We in this nation know our reality better and are more familiar with its details, and it does not make sense to replace local understanding and field experience with solutions that may be drawn from distant experiences that do not align with the uniqueness of our society. It is well known that every people have their uniqueness and each nation has a reality unlike any other. Therefore, it is essential to understand that "social security" is not just a legal system, but a pillar of social justice that cannot be overseen by those who are ignorant of the details of our daily lives and our ongoing struggles.
Resorting to international experts in such matters is much like seeking advice from someone who has not experienced the pain of loss or the bitterness of poverty. Despite the importance of benefiting from successful international experiences, adapting these experiences to our local reality is not easy. How can solutions crafted in an environment completely different from ours be truly beneficial and effective?
At the same time, we are better suited to arrange our affairs and build our laws to fit the details of our lives, without ignoring the challenges we face. Trusting in our ability to understand and assess our needs may be the foundation for building a fair legal system. This highlights the importance of relying on national expertise that knows the geography of pain, the details of life, and understands the peculiarities of the citizens and their concerns.
It is not intended here to diminish the importance of global experiences, but a real understanding of local challenges requires that the amendment be part of a shared internal dialogue among all relevant parties: from workers and employers to governmental bodies and local experts, with the initiative being central and based on direct knowledge of the reality.
In conclusion, "one who does not know the ember does not know the fire", and thus developing social security legislation must stem from the homeland and be built on what we live daily of reality and hope. Legislation that does not reflect the pulse of the people and touch their needs cannot achieve justice or serve the rights holders. Let us build our laws with our own hands, and be the first to reap the benefits.
