The Iraqi parliament intends to pass 17 laws and “personal status” in force on this date
Shafaq News / Two members of the Iraqi Council of Representatives revealed, on Friday, the number of laws expected to be submitted for a vote inside the parliament dome during the upcoming sessions, and the date of entry into force of the amendment to the Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959.
“There are many outstanding laws that the House of Representatives intends to pass, and there will be a session to vote on a set of laws during the next week,” said Baqr Al-Saadi, a member of the parliamentary legal committee, to Shafaq News.
Al-Saadi stressed that “there are 17 laws in the Legal Committee that will be put forward in the House of Representatives during the upcoming sessions, and if the political blocs agree on them without disruption, they can be voted on in only two sessions.”
For his part, a member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Murtaza Al-Saadi, explained regarding the date of entry into force of the new Personal Status Law that “the law shall be in force from the date of voting, with the previous law remaining the same.”
During his speech to Shafak News Agency, Al-Saadi pointed out that “the legal committee in the House of Representatives is waiting for the arrival of the Personal Status Law Code from the Shiite endowment.”
On Thursday, an informed political source told Shafaq News Agency that “the Presidency of the Republic approved the laws, amending personal status, general amnesty, and returning real estate to their owners.”
The session of the Iraqi Council of Representatives on January 21 witnessed the passage of “controverctical laws”, including the amendment of the Personal Status Law, the amendment of the general amnesty law, and the law of returning real estate to their owners in Kirkuk.
However, dozens of deputies objected to the passage of the three laws with one basket and boycotted the session, and then appealed to the Federal Supreme Court on the legality of voting on the laws, which in turn issued a legory order to suspend the implementation of the laws.
Following that, the Supreme Judicial Council issued a fatwa to the Iraqi courts to proceed with the implementation of the laws enacted by the House of Representatives.
The federal court returned last Tuesday and decided to cancel the state order it had previously issued on the suspension of the three “controversial” laws.
