Federal Court rules valid vote on three controversial laws
The Federal Supreme Court in Iraq ruled the validity of the parliamentary session in which the vote was made to amend the three controversial laws (general amnesty, personal status, return of property to its owners) thus canceling the state order to suspend it.
The Federal Supreme Court announced the response of the appeal submitted by parliamentarians to amend the laws of general amnesty, personal status and the return of real estate to their owners, which was voted by the House of Representatives in its session on January 21, 2025.
The court also decided in its judicial hearing, which held publicly, on Tuesday, to “cancel the state order to suspend the operation of these laws.”
On Tuesday, February 4, 2025, the Federal Court issued a state order suspending the implementation of the three laws, which parliament recently voted on, namely personal status, general amnesty, and Kirkuk real estate.
The Supreme Judicial Council responded to the state order issued by the Federal Court, in a statement stating: “It is not permissible to stop the implementation of the law that is legislated by the Iraqi Council of Representatives before it is published in the Official Gazette, as well as proving its unconstitutionality.”
