In recent decades, technological transformations and the emergence of new work paradigms have blurred the boundaries between professional and personal life by fostering a state of permanent connectivity, thereby jeopardizing fundamental principles such as the right to rest, privacy, and human dignity. In this context, the concept of the right to disconnect has emerged as a novel yet essential right. This article argues that the right to disconnect is not merely an occupational privilege but must be recognized as a fundamental human right. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology and drawing on comparative studies, this research elucidates the profound connection between this right and the foundation of human rights. It further examines the detrimental consequences of disregarding it, including occupational burnout, declining mental health, and the erosion of gender equality. Comparative findings indicate that several countries have institutionalized this right through direct legislation or collective bargaining. In contrast, an analysis of Iranian law, particularly the Labor code, reveals severe inadequacy of existing regulations in addressing the challenges of the digital age. Ultimately, this study underscores that acknowledging the right to disconnect as a fundamental right is an essential prerequisite for striking a balance between organizational productivity and the preservation of human dignity, and it provides concrete recommendations to bridge the existing gaps in both legislative and promotional frameworks.
