Abstract
In the Islamic Republic of Iran, alongside the Islamic Consultative Assembly, other institutions can be observed that engage in varying degrees of rulemaking. The Supreme Council for Economic Coordination is one such institution. Acknowledging that this Council formulates legal rules within Iran's legal system, the issue of oversight of its decisions arises. This descriptive-analytical research seeks to answer the question of on what basis the oversight of the Supreme Council for Economic Coordination's decisions can be justified and, if such oversight is possible, how it can be implemented. the principles of the rule of law, hierarchy of legal norms, and expertise. The Constitution and the general policies of the legislative system indicate the necessity of oversight of legal norms. Oversight of the Supreme Council for Economic Coordination's decisions is possible through various means, including public oversight, internal oversight by the President as the Council's chair, and oversight by the Supreme Leader due to the approval of these decisions. The oversight of the High Council for Supervision over the Implementation of General Policies of the System and the Guardian Council over the Council's decisions is also proposed as a permanent and effective oversight mechanism. Furthermore , according to the Administrative Justice Court's practice, judicial oversight by this court over these decisions is not feasible.
