Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: On Friday, the Federal Supreme Court clarified the details of its decision regarding the Khor Abdullah Agreement, and while it indicated that its decision regarding the Kirkuk Operations Command headquarters was based on the principle of maintaining the security situation, it indicated the resolution of appeals regarding the election and budget laws.
The president of the court, Judge Jassem Muhammad Abboud, said, “The system of government in Iraq after 2003 is completely different from the system before this year, as the system before 2003 was individual and based on the rule of the individual, and the personality of the ruler was mixed with the personality of the state, so the ruler at that time considered himself to be The state, and citizens are subjects of the ruler, not subjects of the state,” indicating that “the ruler at that time was irresponsible, and this is the case with all individual systems of government in the world.”
He added, “After the bitter regime and the great sacrifices after 2003 and the demise of the previous regime, Iraq completed a very important constitutional document, which is the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005,” noting that “Under this constitution, the system of government in Iraq according to Article 1 of the Constitution for the year 2005 is republican.” A democratic parliamentary representative, and that this constitution is a guarantor of the unity of Iraq, and therefore the purpose of the constitution is how to create a democratic government that works on the basis of the principle of separation of powers in accordance with what is stated in Article 47 of the constitution for the benefit of the people and to guarantee the unity of Iraq.”
He stated, “The Constitution, pursuant to Article 2 thereof, stipulates that Iraq is a country of multiple nationalities, religions, and sects. It is a founding and effective member of the League of Arab States, is committed to its charter, and is part of the Islamic world. According to the Constitution, the Arabic language and the Kurdish language are considered official languages under the Constitution, and it can be Each governorate or more, with regard to governorates not organized into a region, may be a region, but within the framework of the principle of preserving the unity of Iraq,” pointing out that “the Iraqi constitution relies on the principle of separation of powers, as the federal authorities in Iraq consist of legislative, executive, and judicial authorities.”
He stated that “the judicial authority is distinguished under the Constitution by its complete independence from the legislative and executive authorities, and this independence under Articles 89, 87 and 88 of the Constitution is institutional independence and individual independence,” pointing out that “institutional independence is the independence of the judicial authority from the legislative and executive authorities, while individual independence is independence.” “Judges are free from any external influence in their work.”
He stressed that “the independence that characterizes the judiciary in Iraq is a unique independence that may not be found in all countries of the Middle East,” and this independence may be distinguished from the independence of the judiciary in many European countries, explaining that “many of the Arab and European countries preside over the judiciary.” The judiciary is the Minister of Justice, and therefore this is part of the executive side, but in Iraq, the judiciary is completely independent of the executive and legislative authorities.”
He stated that “what concerns the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court, in accordance with Article 92, is a judicial body that is financially and administratively independent of all authorities, and therefore it exercises its work in accordance with this independence, and in accordance with the powers granted to it in accordance with Article 93 of the Constitution,” explaining that “among these powers is to consider... The constitutionality of the laws and regulations in force according to what is stated in Clause First of Article 93 of the Constitution.”
He stated, “With regard to the Federal Court’s decision on the issue of Khor Abdullah, it is that the court saw that the law ratifying the agreement violated the provisions of Article 61/Fourth of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005, and therefore it ruled that the law ratifying the agreement was unconstitutional, and did not go into the matter.” The technical field of this agreement, but it ruled that the agreement was unconstitutional,” explaining that “the main motivation for the ruling of unconstitutionality is that Clause Four required regulating the process of ratifying international agreements by a law enacted by a two-thirds majority of the members of the House of Representatives.”
He stated that “the Law on Ratification of International Agreements and Treaties No. 111 of 1979 was a law in effect at the same time that this agreement was ratified, but the validity of the law does not mean its implementation if it is in violation of the Constitution,” pointing out that “if this law is in violation of the Constitution, it remains It is valid, and if it is appealed before the Federal Supreme Court and the court finds that the law violates the Constitution, it will be ruled unconstitutional or it will be repealed after the House of Representatives legislates an alternative law.
He explained that “the court balanced the constitutionality of the law and Iraq’s interest in being a founding and effective member of the League of Arab States and committed to its charter,” pointing out that “under the constitution, Iraq is committed to building good neighborly relations with all neighboring countries.”

He stated that “the defunct regime entered Kuwait in violation of all international norms and conventions and in violation of the principles of good neighbourliness. This does not mean that the Iraqi people committed the mistake committed by the defunct regime, but rather it was a mistake by the head of the regime, not the Iraqi people,” pointing out that “the regime in At that time, he was an authoritarian individualist who believed that the state was embodied by its head, and he was the President of the Republic at that time, and he transformed citizens from subjects working in the interest of the state into subjects working in the interest of the regime in Iraq.
He stated that “after 2003, the rulers and the ruled became in the same position with respect to the law, and therefore those who rule Iraq at the present time are not immune from the law, but the law holds the ruler and the ruled accountable when the ruler and the ruled commit a mistake against the people and the country or a mistake that violates the law,” noting that “This unique democratic system in Iraq has been able, since 2003 until now, to overcome many obstacles, and was able to build constitutional institutions, and is based on democratic principles in building the state,” pointing out that “there are many negatives, but at the present time Iraq’s situation is better than Many neighboring and non-neighboring countries in terms of the standard of living of individuals or democratic institutional structure.”

Iraq is a great country, and it comes from the greatness of the Iraqi people,” stressing that “95 percent of the Iraqi people reject corruption, and they have very high values and principles.”
He stated, “When comparing the standard of living of the Iraqi people to the standard of living before 2003, there is a very big difference.”
He stressed that “there is a major government effort to eliminate corruption, and there is a major exceptional effort by the Iraqi judiciary to eliminate corruption,” explaining that “the Supreme Judicial Council has a very large plan through the investigative courts specialized in looking into corruption cases, and through the misdemeanor and felony courts.” competent to look into corruption cases by selecting competent judges who have a long history in the judiciary and possess great experience in the field of fighting corruption. Despite this great effort, the people reject all values of corruption, since the Iraqi people have high moral, political, social and national principles, and they are a living people who possess A very high patriotic spirit.”
He pointed out that “there is progress in the fight against corruption, even if it is slow, but it is with steady steps, and its effects will soon be produced, and the Iraqi people are touching the issue of fighting corruption just as they are currently touching the great role played by all state agencies in providing service projects and achieving security and stability in the country.” .
