واقع وتحديات الهيّات البرلمانية والتشريعية في ظل جائحة كورونا

The legislative authorities' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic initially raised questions about whether and how parliaments and legislatures should continue to meet during the pandemic. By analyzing the parliamentary facts from all elected and appointed federal, regional, and international legislative bodies, we found that the role of councils and legislative bodies as sites for citizens' representation has suffered the most, while the scrutiny and legislative functions of parliaments tend to preserve the achievements of the peoples, albeit in a form of conservatism. We found that the characters in the responses of the various legislative bodies to the epidemic reveal aspects of the performance of these councils, which have given priority to enacting legislation that serves the interests of societies, indifferent to the risk of disease exposure to their members, so their goal was to serve the people, putting the interests of people above every consideration. Accordingly, in my research paper, I will review the efforts made by the parliamentary and legislative bodies to preserve their work in addition to their basic work, which is the voice of the people they represent and the pursuit of a comprehensive representation of their needs.
