MP Mukhtar Al-Moussawi confirmed, today, Sunday (December 1, 2024), that the three laws will not be presented in one basket in today's session.
Al-Moussawi said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "Today's session of the House of Representatives will include proceeding with voting on 3 laws, the most prominent of which is the general amnesty with its amendments, stressing that a series of meetings were held yesterday evening in Baghdad in order to create consensus to move forward with the laws, with opposition and support for some of them according to different opinions."
He added that "the three laws (personal status, returning properties to their owners included in some decisions of the (dissolved) Revolutionary Command Council, and the second amendment to the general amnesty law ) will not be put in one basket and each one will be voted on separately, but one of them may be postponed if we do not have time, noting that the agreements are moving towards a decision and the coming hours are what will determine the compass in the end."
He pointed out that "the proposed laws were discussed 3 months ago and their resolution was delayed due to the resolution of the House of Representatives presidency, stressing that today's session is important in order to proceed with the approval of the laws."
In this context, the Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Regions and Governorates, Jawad Al-Yassari, revealed on Monday (November 25, 2024) that there is a political agreement not to include controversial laws on the parliament’s agenda, except after reaching prior consensus on them.
The leftist told Baghdad Today, "The heads of the parliamentary blocs and the presidency of the House of Representatives agreed not to include controversial laws on the agenda of the parliament sessions, except after achieving prior consensus to ensure their passage and prevent the sessions from being thwarted, as happened in previous times."
He explained that "agreement on controversial laws requires extensive dialogues between political blocs and parties, and with the resumption of sessions tomorrow, Tuesday, these dialogues are expected to start again," noting that "the inclusion of any controversial law for voting remains subject to agreement between parliamentary blocs."
These developments come at a time when the Iraqi parliament is witnessing repeated disputes over controversial laws, such as personal status, general amnesty, land recovery, oil and gas, which has led on more than one occasion to the postponement of sessions or the disruption of the passage of laws.
Parliament is currently seeking to avoid political tensions and ensure the passage of laws in a manner that serves the stability of legislative work.
Earlier, Member of Parliament Ahmed Al-Sharmani confirmed on Monday (November 18, 2024) that there were no new understandings regarding passing controversial laws that have political differences in the coming few days.
Al-Sharmani said, in an interview with "Baghdad Today", that "the differences between the blocs and parties continue regarding the controversial laws (the general amnesty law, the personal status law, the land return law)," stressing that "there are no new understandings regarding these laws for the purpose of passing them soon."
He added, "The dialogues between the political blocs regarding these controversial laws have almost stopped for days, despite the extension of the term of the legislative session of the parliament," adding, "However, the parliament has not held any session, and this is the reason for the lack of agreement and consensus on these laws, the passage of which may be postponed until after the legislative holiday."
On Tuesday (November 5, 2024), Member of Parliament Amir Al-Maamouri revealed that the Council is moving towards extending its legislative term by one month.
Al-Maamouri said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "There are still important laws that need to be passed, and they have been suspended due to political and legal disputes regarding them."
He added, "After the election of a new Speaker of the House of Representatives, there is a trend towards extending the legislative term for one month by the Presidency of the Parliament, with the aim of deciding the vote on the controversial laws during this extension, as it is not possible to delay the passage of those laws until after the legislative holiday, which lasts for two months."
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, confirmed after his election to the position that the controversial laws will be put to a unanimous vote, away from political disputes that may hinder the course of legislative work.
Al-Mashhadani said in a statement to the official newspaper, which was followed by "Baghdad Today", that "the controversial laws will not be presented, except after an in-depth study with all parliamentary blocs, and they will be presented unanimously at least, so that there will be no disputes or obstruction of some laws."
The Speaker of the House of Representatives added that "the way the controversial law was presented to the session, with the presence of disputes, is incorrect and does not serve the Parliament."
The crisis of the "four laws" is still ongoing inside the parliament dome, without the political blocs reaching solutions regarding it, as the disagreements revolve around merging the passage of four controversial laws on the parliament's session agenda, which are the draft law to return the properties covered by some of the decisions of the Revolutionary Command Council, amending the Personal Status Law, the second amendment to the General Amnesty Law, and the Service and Retirement Law for the Mujahideen of the Popular Mobilization Authority, which has sparked widespread parliamentary criticism, stressing that linking the laws according to the principle of one basket enhances certain political interests.
Today, the Iraqi Parliament is holding its eighteenth session of the fifth electoral cycle, to discuss a number of controversial laws.
The agenda of the session will include voting on the proposed Personal Status Law No. (188) of 1959, as amended, and voting on the draft law to return properties to their owners covered by some decisions of the Revolutionary Command Council (dissolved). The Council will also vote on the second amendment to the General Amnesty Law No. (27) of 2016.
