- Constitutional Court of Mongolia
-
The paragraph 1 of the article 64 of the Constitution of Mongolia says that “The Constitutional Tsets is the body which has full powers to exercise supreme supervision over implementing of the Constitution, to make decisions on the breaches of its provisions, to settle disputes”. Thus, the Constitutional Court has supreme power over the implementation of the Mongolian Constitution. The Court hands down decisions on violations of constitutional procedures and resolves constitutional disputes. All governmental action is subject to the Court.[1]
On the basis of this article the Constitutional Court named as The Constitutional Tsets was formed in 1992 for first time in the history of Mongolia. The Constitutional Tsets consists of 9 members.[1] A member of the Tsets shall be a citizen of Mongolia who has high legal and political professional standing, is without a criminal record against him and has reached 40 years of age. In conformity with the law the members of the Constitutional Court shall be appointed by the State Great Hural for a term of 6 years, with three of them to be nominated by the State Great Hural, three by the President of Mongolia and three by the Supreme Court of Mongolia.[1]
Questions regarding laws other than the Constitution are the province of the Supreme Court of Mongolia.[2]
