Analytical-critical review of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution

Among the institutions and organizations of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, acts as a legislative center. Despite the fact that the institution has been established for two decades, its legal status has not been taken seriously. Even in the sources of the fundamental rights of our country, it has not been discussed because of not being mentioned in the constitution. The issuance of Imam Khomeini's decree of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution to form a cultural movement is considered. During its two decades of activity, the council has taken a lot of cultural affairs and has passed many resolutions. There were challenges in the past regarding the status of this council and its legal nature, as well as its duties and functions. With the rejection of some of the laws of the Islamic Consultative Assembly by the Guardian Council, this debate has become important due to its contradiction with Islamic norms and the constitution. Legal review of the decisions of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution is necessary and necessary, but the level of participation of the people in these decrees is also important. It is hoped that the results will be evaluated and used by this council and other cultural institutions.
