The Seat of the Universal House of Justice, Haifa, Israel.

The Universal House of Justice, ordained by
Bahá'u'lláh
as the legislative authority in the Bahá'í Faith, came into
existence in 1963. It is a nine-member body elected at five-year
intervals by the entire membership of the national governing
institutions of the Bahá'í world.
The House of Justice directs the spiritual and administrative
affairs of the Bahá'í International Community. It serves, as well,
as custodian and trustee of the Bahá'í Holy Places and other
properties in the Holy Land. Endowed by Bahá'u'lláh with the
authority to legislate on all matters not specifically laid down in
the Bahá'í scriptures, the House of Justice is the institution that
keeps the Bahá'í community abreast of an ever-changing world.
