Tishwash: Despite The Crises” .. How Does The International Community View Iraq?

The researcher in political affairs, Nabil Jabbar, explained today, Sunday, the extent of Iraq's acceptability and international legitimacy at the United Nations, while stressing that the international community, despite the country's internal problems and recurring crises, views them as challenges that can be resolved and reformed.

Jabbar said in an interview with the Information Agency, that "although the Iraqi regime was forcibly changed in 2003 without international legitimacy or an international mandate from the Security Council, it has received wide international attention and support from the international community."

He added: "Many international conferences on Iraq have been held, many debts have been extinguished, and many embassies have been opened, in addition to removing Iraq from the restrictions of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations," stressing that "this matter means Iraq's independence and recognition of its sovereignty and international legitimacy."

The researcher explained in political affairs that “internally, Iraq suffers from weak state authority and the enforcement of the law, the spread of corruption, and the spread of the power of uncontrolled political weapons, in addition to the weakness of successive governments in providing basic services, which generated a state of widespread popular discontent.”

He continued, "Despite all that, the international community views these challenges as internal problems that can be resolved and reformed with the help of friendly countries or international systems, and do not require international or international intervention, which would make a broad political change by military force or regime change measures." link

Dutchie: Dissolved or not dissolved, that is the question

A member of the Iraqi parliament for the "Extension" movement considered, on Saturday, dissolving the Iraqi parliament without going to the formation of an interim government and setting a date for early legislative elections in the country, which means keeping the current prime minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, and the President of the Republic, Barham Ahmed Salih.

Alaa Al-Rikabi said in a tweet to him on the social networking sites "Twitter", "The parliament is now dissolved without the formation of a temporary rescue government for a year, for example, and it was formed of independent ministers, without setting a date for a new round of parliamentary elections, without changing the election law. What does it mean?"

He explained that "it means only the survival of Al-Kazemi and Dr. Barham, both of whom have expired terms, and the government's survival, but without parliamentary oversight.

The political scene in Iraq has undergone a dangerous turn since supporters of the Sadrist movement led by prominent Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the parliament building in the fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, and staged a sit-in in protest against Al-Sudani's nomination for the position of head of the next federal government.

The Sadrist bloc had obtained the highest votes in the early legislative elections that took place in October of 2021, but the efforts of the leader of the current failed to form the new federal government due to the Shiite coordination framework standing in its way by obtaining a fatwa from the Federal Court with the so-called blocking third in a contract The session for electing the President of the Republic, which paves the way for naming the Prime Minister.

The three-way alliance between the Kurdistan Democratic Party led by Masoud Barzani, the Sovereignty Alliance headed by Khamis al-Khanjar, and the Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr was broken following the resignation of the Sadrist bloc's deputies, and the movement's withdrawal from the political process by order of al-Sadr.

The political scene is in a crisis situation and a dead end unprecedented in the history of Iraq, as more than 300 days have passed since the early elections without being able to form a new government in the country, and the caretaker government headed by Mustafa Al-Kazemi remains.

On the tenth of last October, Iraq held early legislative elections to get out of a political crisis that swept the country after large demonstrations in the central and southern regions in 2019 in protest against the widespread unemployment in society, the spread of financial and administrative corruption in government departments and institutions, and the deteriorating reality The service and the livelihood, which prompted the former prime minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to resign under popular pressure.

As soon as the preliminary results of the elections were announced, the voices of political forces and actors rose in their rejection of losing many seats, accusing them of major fraud in the ballot, which was denied by the executive and judicial authorities, at a time when the United Nations and international organizations praised the integrity of the electoral process.

Tishwash: Member of Parliamentary Integrity: Entities are trying to access unaudited final accounts

A member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Ali Turki, explained, on Monday, that there are attempts to remove the House of Representatives from the monitoring and accountability process that takes place before the final accounts of the institutions.

Al-Turki said in an exclusive interview with {Euphrates News} that "the basis of the parliament's work is supervisory and legislative, and the oversight of it is on government institutions," noting that "there are attempts to push the parliament out of the monitoring and accountability process that takes place before the final accounts of the institutions."

He concluded by saying, "We have a food security law that needs oversight, especially with the speech of the Ministry of Finance yesterday, and there are parties trying to reach final accounts that are not monitored or audited."

It is noteworthy that the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, made it clear about the presentation of the final accounts of the current government that there are two main factors that have contributed to the failure to approve the final accounts on a regular basis 10 years ago.

Saleh said on June 30 that "the current government's presentation of the final accounts requires the submission of final accounts extending from the year 2015-2020, taking into account that the year 2020 there is no general budget, which requires the submission of a draft law called the current budget, which is a legal expression of a final account and budget in At the same time, the revenues and expenditures are now realized.

Saleh said that "the oversight task of the House of Representatives in this regard will be a little arduous in following up on the completion of the country's final accounts for the years 2013-2021, but it will certainly be fruitful after passing the final account for the fiscal year 2013 and enacting a budget law for the current situation for the year 2014 so that the government can refer the rest of the government accounts sequentially only previous years".
