Abstract
Paragraph 4 of the General Policies of the Legislative System issued in 1398 emphasizes that oversight of the non-contradiction or compliance of laws with the general policies of the system should be conducted in cooperation with the Guardian Council and the Expediency Discernment Council. This mode of cooperation and interaction, especially in cases where the Expediency Discernment Council has not expressed an opinion on a bill passed by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, has been a source of ambiguity and questions. In this regard, the "cooperation" between the two mentioned bodies should be defined in a way that does not violate their inherent competencies while also establishing how this cooperation is recognized as a legal principle. This research adopts a new approach to the nature of general policies and examines documents and practices, including the letter dated 11/03/1393 from the Supreme Leader, and draws from the concept of jurisdiction in international criminal law. It considers the nature of the Guardian Council's jurisdiction in relation to the Expediency Discernment Council as a dual nature of inherent-complementary jurisdiction, prioritizing the complementary jurisdiction. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and data collection is library-based.
