Abstract

The Issues related to the formation of the inquiry committees in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. The work is aimed at studying the experience of local and foreign countries regarding the creation of the inquiry committees and their legal status. The creation of an inquiry commission with the requirement of a quarter of the total number of deputies is theoretically and practically problematic and may limit the use of this control tool by the parliamentary minority. Therefore, it was suggested to revise these regulations. The application of the principle of popular legitimation in the basis of the formation of inquiry committees is considered inappropriate, because in parliamentary system of government, the committee mainly exercises control over the government formed by the majority. In the case of proportional formation of parliamentary forces, the control is of a formal nature and the minority both in the parliament and in the commission is not able to exercise effective conrol. The inquiry committee should have independence from the parliamentary majority, so it was suggested to review the proportional formation of the committee.
