The Iraqi Presidency on Wednesday called on the House of Representatives to pass a set of “important” laws, including the Federal Court Law and the Oil and Gas Law.
In a statement issued today on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Iraq, the Presidency called on “the Council of Representatives to approve the draft laws it submitted to the Council, such as: the Federal Court Law, the Law of the High Commission for the Empowerment of Women, the Law of the Supreme Water Council, the Law of Amending the First Amendment to the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Law, the Law of the Iraq Creativity Award, the Law of the Division of Residential Lands, the Law of the Federal Council, and the Law of the Recovery of Corruption Proceeds, in addition to several draft laws to repeal the decisions of the dissolved Revolutionary Command Council.”
The presidency also urged “political forces and legislative and executive authorities to work to expedite the completion of the legislation stipulated in the constitution, implement Article 140 of the constitution, and enact the oil and gas law to ensure constitutional justice and national stability.”
Following the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003 at the hands of US forces and their allies, Iraq held a popular referendum on the country’s permanent constitution on October 15, 2005. The constitution entered into force in 2006, despite widespread rejection in Sunni areas.
