[size=45]Information from within the meetings dealing with the draft law of the Federal Court indicates that the initial agreements require that the number of members of the Federal Court be set to nine judges, of 5 Shiites, and 4 years, including two from the Kurdish component, in addition to 4 experts in Islamic jurisprudence, two Shiites and two Sunnis who have the right to veto In exchange for two experts in law, a Christian and a Turkoman without the right of veto.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi called the Parliamentary Legal Committee and heads of blocs in the House of Representatives to an urgent meeting today, Sunday, to discuss the contentious points that impede the passage of the Federal Court law, trying to end the state of rupture between the various parties in preparation for presenting the law to the vote in tomorrow's session, Monday.[/size]
[size=45]Yonadam Kanna, head of the Al-Rafidain Parliamentary Bloc, said in a statement to Al-Mada that “Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi directed to resolve the disputes that impede the passage of the Federal Court’s law,” indicating that “this meeting will determine whether or not the law can be passed.”[/size]
[size=45]Differences erupted between parliamentary blocs due to articles of the Federal Court Law, which revolve around the nature of decisions and rulings issued by the court, as well as Islamic law scholars and legal experts.[/size]
[size=45]Kanna considers that “the tendency of the large blocs to grant Sharia jurists a veto differs from the principles of democracy and contradicts the constitution and the civil state,” demanding that “the number of Sharia jurists should be equal to the number of jurists with the same powers specified for each of them.”[/size]
[size=45]He points out that "if this law is passed according to the desire of the great powers, Sharia jurists will be able to suspend all laws and decisions that will be taken in the court or even by the parliament," considering it "a dangerous precedent that threatens the rest of the minorities and components."[/size]
[size=45]The passage of the Federal Court’s law is an essential step for holding early parliamentary elections on the tenth of October, as one of the tasks of this court is to certify the election results.[/size]
[size=45]The Christian representative warns that "the most dangerous in this law is the appointment of Islamic law jurists, as they will be appointed by political blocs and not by known religious authorities, which gives a clear picture that decisions will be dealt with on a political and sectarian basis as well."[/size]
[size=45]Kanna points out that "the large blocs agreed among themselves that the number of judges of the Federal Court is nine, five for the Shiite component, and four for the Sunni component, including Kurds, in addition to two Islamic jurists from the Shiite component and two from the Sunnis."[/size]
[size=45]He continues that "the influential blocs granted the Christians and Turkmen representation in the legal scholars who do not have the powers of Sharia scholars, that is, their task will be simple and do not go beyond consulting only." He expected that "the next or new president of the court will be from the Shiite component." For its part, the Parliamentary Endowments Committee confirmed "the nomination of Sharia experts from the Shiite endowment as is the case in the Sunni endowment," noting that "the number of Islamic law jurists will be four members." Representative Hana Turki Al-Taie, deputy head of the Religious Endowments Committee in the House of Representatives, stated in a statement that (Al-Mada) saw it, "We are in the process of completing the procedures related to the draft Federal Supreme Court bill whose importance comes from the importance of the constitution and its interpretation after reaching the final version." Al-Ta'i added that, regarding the selection of Sharia experts, the matter of choosing will be in the hands of the Shiite endowment, as is the case in the Sunni endowment, and it is assumed that there are (4) experts specialized in examining cases, cases, appeals, decisions and provisions related to the constitutionality of legislation that may conflict with the constants of the provisions of Islam based on the provisions of Article 2 / First / a) of the constitution. The relevant judgments and decisions of the court shall be issued in strict accordance with the recommendation of the majority of Sharia experts.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Taie indicated that (4) members are chosen from constitutional law scholars who specialize in examining cases, cases, appeals, decisions and rulings related to the constitutionality of legislation that may conflict with the principles of democracy based on the provisions of Article (2 / First / B) of the constitution. From the experts of Islamic jurisprudence.[/size]
[size=45]In turn, the legal expert, Rahim Al-Aqili, wrote in a tweet on his Facebook page that "the constitution did not specify any descriptions or qualifications for experts of Islamic jurisprudence in the formation of the Federal Supreme Court." In the study of law with its modern theories and its tremendous development. "So why do they insist in the House of Representatives that experts of Islamic jurisprudence be nominated for the Sunni and Shiite endowments?" Doesn't it mean that they want them from the clergy? With all due respect to the clerics - whose role in guiding people's consciences and urging virtue is respected - but they usually only know the rulings of their sect, excluding the rest of the Islamic sects, and they have not studied the law with its jurisprudential and judicial development around the world, and therefore they cannot combine the requirements of the constitution Which was set to govern a state and was not set to rule a religion and between the requirements of religious jurisprudence that is governed by the rules of lawful and forbidden.[/size]
