ПАРЛАМЕНТЫН ГИШҮҮНИЙГ СОНГОГЧДЫН САНАЛААР ЭГҮҮЛЭН ТАТАХ АСУУДАЛД

Abstract

In an effort to improve discipline and accountability of elected members
of the Mongolian parliament, calls for legislative recall mechanisms have gained
momentum in recent years. Due to the principle of separation of powers and the
specifics of the legal status of high-ranking officials, the system of disciplinary
liability provided for in the Civil Service Law does not apply in all areas, and
the legal regulations for displace or dismissal of high-ranking officials remain in
practice. Citizens and the public have also criticized the vague legal framework for
criminal liability, except in cases where a member of the Mongolian Parliament
has been convicted of a crime by a valid court decision. However, this form of
accountability for recalling a member of parliament by the electorate has not been
well studied in Political Science and has been shown to have different effects due
to many factors, including public administration, governance, political culture,
and party maturity. Therefore, this article aims to clarify the responsibilities of
recalling a member of parliament by voters, the experience of other countries and
what factors need to be considered when creating a legal environment for recalling
a member by voters
