by Dr. Wassim Harb The Parliament Parliament's sessions and audiences: We’ve dealt with this subject in 3 sections: 1. the parliament’s sessions, 2. kinds of these sessions, 3. system of these sessions. We’ve also concentrated on the majorities pointed out in the bylaws. The comparison table related to this subject shows the different majorities, adopted in different situations (relative, absolute, qualified), we’ve considered that comparison in these matters, is essential. Concerning the parliament’s sessions (see fig. T19) we’ve compared between ordinary and extraordinary sessions and noticed their term, the date and place of their meetings and their commencement and termination. But we didn’t notice the suspension of these meetings because the Arab status mention it without expanding or explaining it, except for Kuwait who included in its laws detailed information on this matter. As to the kinds of these sessions (see fig. T20) we’ve prepared a comparison table showing both the public and the closed sessions in addition to the special ones, with mentioning the reasons for having them. (The oath of the head of the state and his deputy, discussions on the candidacy of the head of the state, and different announcements). And finally what concerns the system of these sessions (see fig. T21), we’ve shown the quorum needed, for opening a session, having a session and for voting in it. We’ve also discussed the ways of voting (by name calling, by raising hand, by standing up, by lot, and secret voting). Then we’ve shown the standards recognized for discussing any matter in a session and for it’s termination, as well as all the data on making reports (preparation, correction, elimination, verification, release, and distribution). |
