Tuesday, legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi confirmed that the decision to raise the exchange rate is against the constitution.
Al-Tamimi said, in an explanation to him, that “raising the dollar exchange rate in the budget law is contrary to the constitution and the charter of the international covenant, and this decision can be challenged and returned to the government, from Parliament and not to legislate the budget law,” noting that “the rise in the dollar exchange rate to 1450 in the budget law violates the budget law. The Iraqi constitution and the charter of the international covenant can be challenged.”
The legal expert also reviewed the points of violation as follows:
First – The rise in the exchange rate of the dollar to 1450 violates articles 30 and 31 of the Iraqi constitution, which obligate the state to provide a free, decent life and appropriate income. United commitment.
Secondly – The Central Bank Law by virtue of Law 56 of 2004 is an independent body under Article 3 of this law and also the instructions of the Central Bank of 2017, and therefore it is he who determines the exchange rate and if there is an increase in the price, it is necessary to control market prices and prevent inflation, which will increase poverty poorer.
Third – This law, i.e. the budget law, can be challenged if it is legislated by Parliament before the Federal Court. Parliament can not approve the legislation of this law and return it to the government for amendment because Parliament can do so constitutionally as it represents society in accordance with Article 61 of the Constitution as well as Article 13 of the Financial Management Law 6 of 2019″.
