Introduction to Governmental Punishment Organization Position in Iranian Legal System

According to Note 2 of Single Article of Act amending Governmental Punishment Law Approved by Expediency Council, Bylaw approved by the Cabinet shall govern Organizations, Administrative and Financial Affairs and Proceeding Procedure followed by Organization. On one hand: some of provisions of this bylaw are in conflict with administrative, employment and financial general regulations approved by the Iranian Parliament, having been highlighted through approval of State Services Management Law. On the other hand, there are some gaps in the regulations concerning procedures at various branches of Governmental Punishments. In this Paper, we are planning to specify some existing conflicts and prove that: first, although any law or regulation in consistent with State Services Management Law have been abolished according to Article 127 of the law, this matter may not change approval of Expediency Council and replace bylaw of the cabinet concerning financial and administrative affairs of the organization with another legal regulation. Second, in some cases, we see other formal regulation governing governmental punishment branches, while there is a specific bylaw for this purpose.
