Unity or Multiplicity of the Legislative Authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Its Impact on the System of Administrative Law

In each country, there is an institution or institutions set up for legislation. Considering the type of system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its various objectives, there are different legislative institutions which have the right of legislation within different legal limits. Among these institutions are the Expediency Council, the Assembly of Experts, the Supreme National Security Council, the supreme councils and the Supreme Leader. But, the main, essential and primary task of legislation regarding most subjects is undertaken by the parliament. Taking into account the duties and responsibilities of these institutions, they have the right to legislate regarding certain issues determined by the constitution. The main difference between these institutions and the legislative power is in the main duty of legislation. Therefore, in some of these institutions actions are rarely taken on legislation. Among the effects which the legislation of these institutions bring to the system of administrative law is the necessity of observing the rules ratified by administrative authorities.
