Arbitration Council

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arbitration council , more precisely an assembly for the recognition of system interests ( Persian مجمع تشخیص مصلحت نظام Majma-e Taschchis-e Maslehāt-e Nezām ), is an organ of the Iranian state apparatus and was founded on February 6, 1988 by ruler Ruhollah Khomeini .

function

The Arbitration Council has the task of resolving a possible stalemate within Iranian legislation through mediation. The Guardian Council reviews every law passed by parliament for conformity with the Iranian constitution and Islamic teachings. If the Guardian Council finds contradictions, the bill is rejected and delegated to parliament for revision. The Arbitration Council can mediate in this system-internal conflict between the Guardian Council and Parliament and ultimately enforce a law against the instructions of the Guardian Council. The principle established by Khomeini in 1988 applies here, according to which the arbitration council can enforce a law if, in its opinion, the interests of the state order so require.

Members

The 35 members of the Arbitration Council are appointed directly by the Revolutionary Leader and consist of representatives of the Revolutionary Leader, members of the Guardian Council, political and military experts, and members of the government. The participants are divided into fixed experts who are appointed for five years and variable experts whose term of office expires after 3 years. The arbitration council, which meets at least once a month, decides by majority vote.

The following members were newly appointed on February 27, 2007:
