    INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW & HUMAN RIGHTS
    Introduction

    Article 56 of the Iraqi Constitution provides as follows:
    First: The electoral term of the Council of Representatives shall be four
    calendar years, starting with its first session and ending with the
    conclusion of the fourth year.

    Second: The new Council of Representatives shall be elected forty-five
    days before the conclusion of the preceding electoral term.
    Given that the current Parliament was elected in December 2005 and had their first session in March 2006, we have been asked to provide some basis or precedent for interpreting this Article in terms of the “fourth year” ending on 31 December 2009, or alternatively, on 28 February 2010.

    The question hinges on the definition of “calendar year” as it applies in this context, and whether the “fourth year” refers to the calendar year or to a 365-day cycle based on the start of the first session in March.
    Rules of Procedure Applicable to the Council of Representatives
    Article 22 of the Iraqi Council of Representatives Bylaws states in its first clause:

    COR has one annual legislative period with two legislative sessions over
    eight months. The first session starts on 1st of March, and ends on the
    30th of June. The second starts from 1st of September, and ends on the
    31st of Decembe    r.

    (Rules of Procedure Manual for the Iraqi Council of Representatives, National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), 2007).
    The Rules of Procedure Manual (“ROP”) provides the following definitions for key terms:
    • Legislative period: The two legislative terms in one calendar year.
    • Legislative term: One of the two four month terms that makes up the
    legislative period.
    • Legislative session: A one-day CoR sitting that opens with a quorum.
    An electoral term, thus, appears to include eight legislative terms, as well as the nonlegislative (recess) periods between them, i.e. January-February and July-August.

    According to this information, I am assuming that the current legislative session began March 1, 2010 and will end on Dec, 2014?? Am I right?

    I am only interested because of this statement:

    ”On the subject of the presidential post and whether President Talabani will return to his duties after treatment, Karim said, “This is not important to us right now. What matters to us is Jalal’s safe return to his country, his family, his people and his party.” He expressed his belief that “the office of the president will remain intact because the president is still alive.Talabani is president of the republic until the end of the current legislative session, of which there is much time left. Nevertheless he is in his second term as president and he will not run for a third.” [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
