The paper analyses activity of the Genghisid rulers of the 13th—14th century
related to protection of law and order in cities and rural settlements. The
evolution of law enforcement institutions in the Mongol Empire and its uluses is observed. The special attention is paid to the
combination of imperial and regional principles and institutions in the
organization of law enforcement structures. The article provides the first
Russian translation of a jarlig on the appointment
of ispahsalar, the high official who was in charge
of law and order protection in Mongol Iran; the account was extracted from ‘Dastur al-katib’, the treatise
written in the 1360s by Muhammad b. Hindushah Nakhchivani, an official of the Hulaguids
and the Jalayirids. There have been similar trends
in the Genghisid states of the 13th—14th
century in the area of law enforcement such as sophistication of
institutions, involving of local peoples in law enforcement activity, as well
as substantial influence of earlier traditions of countries and regions which
were under power of the Genghisids. |
