The role of the law approvers in its interpretation

Abstract

Law is seen to have several qualities, including conflict, conflict-freeness, clarity, directness, and absence of ambiguity. Such a measure is also anticipated to receive legislative approval. However, the legislation must be construed without the aforementioned qualities. The courts, the Parliament, and the Guardian Council are, respectively, the competent authorities for interpretation in settling litigation, ordinary legislation, and the constitution in Iran's legal system. Many standards have been laid down on how laws should be interpreted. However, in the interpretation provided by the approvers, the standard is to ascertain the meaning of the legislation since the approvers are more cognizant of their objectives than judges and inexperienced new members of parliament. Every researcher wonders why the members of the legal commission of the parliament, who are not present in the parliament, do not have the right to interpret the regular legislation in light of the regulation above. The previous query is posed in the disciplines of criminal law, civil law, and public law.
