The Right to Engage in Political Party Activities among University Students (A Jurisprudential, Legislative, and Analytical Study)

The right to participate in public and political life, including party affiliation and joining existing parties in accordance with the law on an equal basis among all members of society, is a fundamental characteristic of the concept of comprehensive democracy. The international community has called on countries to respect this right and not exclude anyone from it. Considering that university students are among the main segments of society and the backbone of the nation's future, it is essential for them to engage with active political parties in their countries and gain experience so that they can play an effective role in political development, especially in light of directives calling for comprehensive reforms, including political reform. Since political participation is a key element in empowering individuals, it is crucial to ensure the participation of all groups and to remove obstacles that hinder the involvement of university students.
