A dangerous decision to use extra-legal powers and absolute leadership

The Revolutionary Assembly continues the limitations of the jurisdiction of the Court of Administrative Justice, which according to principles 170 and 173 of the Constitution, no limit is defined in its general jurisdiction, and the permission to deal with violations and even review the approvals and systems of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution; The Supreme National Security Council and the Guardian Council, and more interestingly, the regulations approved by the Head of the Judiciary in the previous assemblies were taken away from him; This time, it approved that it does not have the authority to deal with the approvals of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, which Ayatollah Khamenei established and created.

What is paid less attention to, and Abdi Madia has already pointed out, is that in recent years, Ayatollah Khamenei has been using his extraordinary powers, which were added to Article 57 of the Constitution in the amendment to the Constitution in 1989. It has a tendency to define the three forces and other elements of the system under themselves, and in fact, it considers the orders and approvals of the leadership before the law, and it is as if this authority has been accepted and turned into an existential reality in the field of politics and the power pyramid of the country.

The parliament does not have the right to approve the law or investigate and investigate in the field of military and policing without their permission, and they established the Army General Command and recently the General Police Command without the approval of the Parliament, and they did not see the need to amend the law of the army and the police force.

The parliament cannot enter into the approvals of the Supreme National Security Council and the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, which are considered in the law, and its examples clearly show that the efforts of the parliament have been fruitless.

The Majlis does not have the right to investigate and examine cases and institutions under the power of the leader without his knowledge and permission.

Recently, the Supreme Coordination Council cannot interfere with the approvals of the parliament (even the current laws before this, such as the reduction of value-added taxes, which were recently reduced to 1 percent in some cases), which are implemented with the final signature of Ayatollah Khamenei.

Until this moment, the Court of Administrative Justice and its general board and specialized boards were not allowed to interfere in the approvals that were somehow related to the leadership.

Now the Supreme Council of Cyber ​​Space has been added to this long list.

The councils are the powers that be, each of them carries out their agendas before the parliament, the court of administrative justice, and the (general) inspection organization of the country, which has no authority over the (whole) country, and the parliament and regulatory legal institutions in the constitution, such as the general inspection of the country and The Court of Administrative Justice is nothing and they have an outward appearance.

It is enough to take a look at the executive regulations of the law on the establishment of the General Inspection Organization of the country, which was approved by the head of the judiciary at the time, and see the limitations of the inspection of this organization, which is stated in Article 174 of the Constitution, and even contradicts the law on its establishment approved by the parliament, which even allows the inspection of judges. And the headquarters does not have the judicial power, and for the inspection of security and military institutions, such restrictions or commonalities of the inspector with those institutions of power are created that the existence of the inspection becomes null and void.

Due to the centralization of the authority of the absolute jurist and the alignment of other legal bodies of the country, which see their benefit from the lack of clear supervision, this supervisory method has practically turned the functioning of the supervisory legal organizations into a bitter joke.

The lack of correct and decisive supervision and without relevant considerations is one of the important reasons for the disorder of the country and the oppression of public rights.
