    The daily political events in Iraq are hardly devoid of comments and tweets from the UN mission, as it always comments on political affairs and gives advice, as well as its periodic meetings with leaders of political blocs, which raises many questions about the extent of the influence of "UNAMI" and its ability to intervene. in the country.

    The observer of Iraqi affairs wonders about the impact of the United Nations Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) on the Iraqi political situation, especially with the intensification of conflict and political closure following the failure of the political blocs to form a government and nominate a prime minister nearly 11 months after the legislative elections on October 10 First 2021.
    The daily political events in Iraq are hardly devoid of comments and tweets from the UN mission headed by diplomat Hennis-Plasschaert, as she always comments on Iraqi political affairs and provides advice, as well as her periodic meetings with leaders of political blocs, which raises many questions about the extent of UNAMI's influence. And the extent of its ability to intervene in the country, especially since it hardly notices the role of the United Nations in political affairs in the rest of the neighboring Iraqi, Arab and even regional countries.

    The establishment of the UNAMI mission

    Iraq's relationship with the United Nations extends back to 1945, when Iraq was one of the founding countries of the organization after World War II. According to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, the United Nations Mission in Iraq, known for its acronym "UNAMI", was established pursuant to Security Council Resolution 1500 on August 14, 2003, as it carries out its mandate based on the approval of the Iraqi government. Since then, the UN Security Council has renewed every year the mandate of UNAMI, up to Resolution 2631 last May, in which the Security Council renewed the mandate of UNAMI until the end of May 2023.

    UNAMI role

    The UNAMI mission has a broad role in the country in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2631, which stipulates giving priority to providing advice and assistance to Iraq - the government and people - on promoting political dialogue and reconciliation at the national and community levels, as well as providing more support and advice to the Iraqi government and the Commission The Independent High Electoral Commission and other Iraqi institutions, in efforts to enhance preparations for the elections.
    The text of the resolution also added that the mission would provide advice and assistance to the Iraqi government and the House of Representatives, on reviewing the constitution, settling internally disputed borders, security sector reform, and facilitating regional dialogue and cooperation, including on issues of border security, energy, trade, environment, water, resilience building, infrastructure, public health and refugees. and the negative effects of climate change, women's rights and equality.
    It appears from the text of the UN Security Council resolution that UNAMI has a legal basis to play a role in the political situation in Iraq, which Muhannad al-Janabi, professor of international relations at Cihan University in Erbil, points out.

    [rtl]And whether the United Nations has missions in all countries, Al-Janabi explained to Al-Jazeera Net that all countries affiliated with the United Nations have representations of the United Nations on their territory, which are diplomatically equivalent to the rank of embassies among the countries of the world, while diplomatic representation between countries and international organizations is through representations , such as the representation of the European Union, the Arab League, and others.[/rtl]
    Regarding the UNAMI mission, Al-Janabi pointed out that UN missions are formed in countries at their request, especially countries that need the assistance of the United Nations in various fields, or in the event that these countries suffer from major problems and turmoil, which is what happened in Iraq, as the UNAMI mission UNAMI was initially established without Iraq's request to do so in 2003, as it did not have an elected legitimate government. Since then, the Security Council has continued to renew the UNAMI mission at the request of successive Iraqi governments.

    Variation of positions

    [rtl]Regarding the political role played by the UNAMI mission represented by diplomacy Hennis Plaschaert, Al-Janabi points out that since the popular demonstrations in Iraq in October 2019, the role of the UN mission has emerged through its intensification of political activity and meetings with various political blocs, even parties that own armed factions, Proceeding from the legal mandate of the mission to engage in the political dialogue in the country.[/rtl]
    What increased UNAMI's interference in political affairs - according to Al-Janabi - the political and constitutional blockage and the interpretations of the Federal Court of the Constitution that do not correspond to the convictions of some political parties in light of the faltering formation of the government. Consequently, in the absence of a binding decision by the Security Council to adopt a specific behavior by the government and political parties, the work of UNAMI falls within the provision of advice and work as a mediator, pointing out that all the accusations against the mission have no legal basis, given that it was Iraq that demanded By renewing its mission in the country, according to him.

    negative role

    On the other hand, the expert in constitutional law, Amir Al-Daami - in his speech to Al-Jazeera Net - believes that the UNAMI mission in Iraq is the basis of the problem, as he put it, describing its negative role, especially in recent years, considering that the presence of the mission is illegal and detracts from the country's sovereign right , justifying that that it was established in 2003 without a request from Iraq under the American occupation, and that the mission’s missions should have been canceled after the departure of the American forces and Iraq’s exit from Chapter VII imposed after the second Gulf War in 1991.
    In the same context, legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi believes that UN missions usually arise in countries experiencing political and security turmoil, and that the role of UNAMI in Iraq currently is similar to “international guardianship”, especially after Iraq exited from Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. .

    In his testimony to Al Jazeera Net, Al-Tamimi explained that the intervention of the UN mission in political affairs violates the Charter of the United Nations in Articles "First, Second and Third", which expressly stipulate the sovereignty and independence of states and the non-interference of anyone in the internal political affairs of states.
    Al-Jazeera Net correspondent tried to communicate with UNAMI to clarify its role in Iraqi affairs in various fields, but the mission declined to make any statement, which applies to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which refused to comment on the role of the UN mission due to the ministry's lack of competence in this regard.

    On the other hand, Muhammad Iqbal, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Iraqi parliament in its previous session, says that the role of the United Nations Mission in Iraq has always been flawed, according to his description, and that most of the political blocs viewed its role with suspicion, especially since some of the personalities who took charge of the mission were It was marred by many suspicions of corruption, which, in his opinion, was reflected in the neutrality of the mission's position on many issues related to human rights and the results of the elections that took place in Iraq since 2003, according to him.
    Iqbal added in his interview with Al Jazeera Net that many of the internal files in Iraq are not considered by the UNAMI mission, at a time when the focus is on certain files, commenting, "Through our work in the Foreign Relations Committee, we had limited meetings with mission officials, as they prefer meetings. private relations with senior officials, while briefing them with great confidentiality, and then resulting in statements dealing with general lines without entering into details.”

    Can it be terminated?

    Iqbal believes that there are two reasons for extending the mission's work throughout the years that followed 2003, as there is an international desire to extend it, especially with the sectarian crisis that Iraq witnessed between 2006 and 2008, and the subsequent political crises that accompanied the formation of successive Iraqi governments.
    As for the second reason, Iqbal confirms that many political blocs and governments were keen on the mission’s survival to ward off suspicions about it, especially with regard to international organizations’ reports on human rights violations, and therefore the mission’s survival was a kind of diplomatic protection for governments in Iraq, as he put it. .
    He concluded his speech by noting that it is not easy to turn the mission into a representation, justifying that the political process in Iraq is unstable with the lack of consensus on the articles of the constitution and the presence of weapons outside the framework of the state, in addition to the presence of interference from neighboring countries in Iraqi internal affairs.
