RCD Holds a Panel Discussion on the Federal Supreme Court Act
1- Dr. Judge Wael Abdul Latif, specializes in Legal and Political Affairs.
2- Dr. Fawzi Hussein Al-Jubouri, professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Kirkuk
3- Judge Rahim Hassan Al-Ugaili, former Head of the Integrity Commission
4- Dr. Adnan Ajel Obaid, Professor of Constitutional Law at Al-Qadisiyah University
5- Dr. Ali Saad Omran, professor of Constitutional Law at Al-Alamain Institute for Graduate Studies.
During the panel, the Judge Abdul Latif said that: “I do not agree that there should be legal experts and Islamic jurisprudence within the Act of the Federal Supreme Court proposed in the Parliament Council, because the court was established based on the Law on State Administration for the Transitional Phase of 2004. On the other hand, Judge Rahim Al-Ugaili disagreed with him, explaining that the permanent Iraqi constitution law of 2005 stipulated that there should be legal scholars and religious personnel who graduated from academic institutions.
As for Dr. Ajel, he pointed out that there is no problem in the presence of Islamic jurists in the capacity of advisors, just like the courts that specialize in employees and that delegate experts from universities and others. While Dr. Omran touched on the issue of whether the Iraqi constitution works under the control of abstinence or through the control of cancellation, and that there is no clear text in this regard.
Finally, Dr. Ahmed Al-Mammouri, moderator of this panel discussion, concluded by saying that the Parliament Council has moved the Federal Supreme Court Act to the next session, and limit it to the constitutional amendment to complete the requirements of conducting the upcoming elections.
