The Federal Supreme Court in Iraq began its work yesterday, Sunday, after its president, Judge Jassem Al-Amiri and its members, took the constitutional oath before the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, in the presence of the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faiq Zaidan.

In his speech after taking the oath, Saleh said that "the Federal Court is the faithful guardian of the democratic system, protecting public rights and freedoms, ensuring law enforcement, safeguarding the constitution, and overseeing the constitutionality of laws and regulations."

According to a presidential statement, Saleh added, “Completing the formation of the Federal Court represents an important and essential step towards completing the legal and constitutional requirements for holding early elections, which represent a national and popular entitlement that Iraqis look to to express their will away from all influences. To embark on a new stage on the road to building a political process that raises a parliament that expresses the will of the electorate.

The Iraqi Parliament had voted on March 18-2021 to amend the Federal Court Law by a majority of its members after failing to mobilize the necessary support to pass the Federal Court Law, which has been postponed since 2005. The vote was held to amend Article Three and a new article of the First Amendment Law (Order No. 30 For the year 2005 AD) of the Federal Supreme Court Law. The political blocs had failed to agree on the new Federal Court bill;
Legislation requires the attendance of two thirds of the members of Parliament. The differences centered on granting some seats to scholars from the Shiite and Sunni sects in the Federal Court, and giving them the power to vote on decisions. For his part, Judge Faeq Zaidan, Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council, described the birth of the amendment to the Federal Court Law as a difficult birth.

Zaidan called on “researchers and specialists to review the texts of the law, and carefully investigate the facts, processes and circumstances of its legislation from reliable sources, leading to the exercise of the right to criticism and accurate and constructive scientific analysis with our respect for the legitimate ambition to work in this court or other for everyone who believes that he is qualified for that.” This ambition must be far from distorting and falsifying the facts.
