 This law, just like all of the Statutes of Autonomy of the autonomous communities of Spain, recognises the right of the Canary Islands to a degree of self-government within the Kingdom of Spain and under its Constitution.This form of regional autonomy is enacted through a regional legislature (in this case the Parliament of the Canary Islands), a regional executive (in this case the Government of the Canary Islands) and a High Court of Justice within the judicial system of Spain.The first session of the Parliament of the Canary Islands, presided by Pedro Guerra Cabrera, was held on .
