Today, Tuesday (October 8, 2024), the Federal Supreme Court issued a decision that included the interpretation of the phrase (fully sovereign) contained in Article (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005.
She said in a statement that “the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq guarantees the unity of Iraq, and since that unity requires that Iraq have full sovereignty over all its lands, airspace and territorial waters, this also requires that all federal authorities, decentralized regional and governorate authorities and local administrations be obligated to abide by the provisions of the Constitution to preserve the unity of Iraq and not to do anything that would undermine its sovereignty.”
The Federal Court stressed that “any authority that violates this has violated the constitution and endangered Iraq’s sovereignty, in accordance with Articles (1, 8, 50, 109, and 116) of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005.”
She explained that “this interpretation came in accordance with the decision issued by the court No. (89/Federal/2024).”
