Abstract

The constitution is the most superlative legal document in the political systems of the world. With respect to the great importance of the functions of the Constitution in each political system, the role of guardian or the basic judge has a particular importance. The mentioned institution appears so as to protect the constitution’s superiority and also plays role in other duties and functions including the supervison of election and disputing resolution between governmental organs. In this paper, we are going through comparative survey of the guardian council as the basic judge of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the constitutional court of the Republic Croatia as the constitutional guardian of this country. The method of this paper is descriptive-analytic. The main question in the paper is that what are the distinctions and commonalities of the basic judge between Iran and Croatia. The hypothesis is that the constitutional court of Croatia has a far greator, more coherent and desirable discretions than guardian council of Iran and the most important differences between them are the existing European Convention on Human Rights as a significant source for basic Judgement in Republic Croatia and the necessity of confirming president’s accusation in the case of committing a crime in that country, which are not predicted for guardian council of Iran. In this paper, while explaning political structure of the government of the Republic Croatian and introducing the constitutional court’s functions in that country, distinctions and resemblances between the constitutional court of Croatia and the guardian council of Iran as research findings are concidered.
