Abstract

Parliamentary immunity is an actual embodiment of the separation of powers, which assumes that each authority exercises its powers independently without the interference of other authorities, and it was legislated primarily to preserve the entity of the representative system in the state and the parliamentary mandate carried out by the representatives of the people from all obstacles. This importance also appears from several other legal, political, and institutional angles. From a legal perspective, parliamentary immunity places the representatives of the people in a strong and excellent legal position that allows them to exercise their duties without fear of the sword of the state and its influence. From a political aspect, it guarantees the continuity of political action and its good conduct within Parliament. From an institutional standpoint, parliamentary immunity highlights the strong position of the legislative institution and its high status in the state’s constitutional system.
