| Summary: | The supervisory jurisdiction is considered one of the constitutional judiciary's most prominent and important functions. Some jurisprudential perspectives even point to the necessity of limiting the function of the constitutional judiciary to this supervisory role.This could be understandable, especially since this supervisory role achieves effective protection of rights and freedoms, whether it is in the form of oversight over the constitutionality of laws and regulations, or in the form of oversight over the ‘omission’ or ‘deviation’ of the legislation. Undoubtedly, the achievements of the constitutional judiciary in this regard is clearly noticeable; especially, its approaches to addressing the problem of ‘unconstitutionality of the legislations’. Whether exercised through the constitutional oversight over the legislation that are ‘unconstitutional’ or the oversight that is performed over the ‘omission’ or ‘deviation’ of the legislative powers.
