Member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, MP Raed Al-Maliki, called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, Friday, to take an official Iraqi position against the American ambassador and prevent her from interfering in Iraqi affairs.
Al-Maliki told Al-Maalouma, “The US ambassador’s interference in legislative affairs and personal status law is unacceptable, and we informed the responsible authorities within the House of Representatives of the necessity of intervening and issuing a statement rejecting this interference.”
He added, “Embassies and diplomatic missions received incorrect information about the proposed law and its content, as the proposal does not contain anything related to underage marriage or violations of women’s rights.”
He explained that “the proposed law is based on Article 41 of the Constitution, and the United States is aware of that.”
He added, “The Legal Committee is continuing to clarify matters related to the proposed law, and there is an intention to hold seminars and meetings with international parties to convey the correct point of view and to explain the content of the proposal.”
The American ambassador commented on the amendment to the Personal Status Law, rejecting this amendment, which provoked the anger of Iraqis of all orientations.
