“The Constitution of the Universal House of Justice” is a document that defines the administrative procedures of the Universal House of Justice, the supreme administrative institution of the Bahá’í Faith. This document embodies the Guardian's promise that “when this Supreme Body will have been properly established, it will have to consider afresh the whole situation, and lay down the principle which shall direct, so long as it deems advisable, the affairs of the Cause” The Constitution's authority, duties, and sphere of action are derived from the revealed Word of Bahá’u’lláh, along with the interpretations and expositions of the Centre of the Covenant and the Guardian of the Cause. These elements form the binding terms of reference and foundational bedrock of the Universal House of Justice.
