Albesrion flag waving their region .. and young people collect 100 thousand signatures in support of a referendum

 

 

BAGHDAD / Wael grace

Raise activists last week aware "of Basra province" -almguetrah- The three colors "Alabad- blue- green" Ttosth drop of oil is based on Saftin, default on sensitive government buildings, such as the airport and oil refineries, using computer technology, launched with great popularity campaign is by young people to collect signatures in favor of the establishment of the region, which is estimated optical politician as you will be able to collect more than half the population of the province who are increasing at three
million.

 

 

While the street is consistent in Basra, the need to put an end to the "decline" in the
service of political and economic marginalization and tempted by the success of the experience of Kurdistan last agreement with the center government ndash; according to officials and businessmen Aamal- divided the people in the choice of mechanisms to achieve that goal between the calls to cut off oil supplies to political pressure, and looking at the constitutional mechanisms and collect signatures of 2% of the voters in the provinces and submitted to the Electoral Commission to initiate the referendum process for the formation of the province, according to the judge visual Wael Abdul Latif and politician who co-wrote a number of legislation, notably the interim constitution and permanent Iraq say the law formation mechanisms region in 2008.

 

 

He adds Abdul Latif told the "term" as presented in 2008.38 thousand signatures to the Commission has been reduced to 34 000 signature "under the pretext of repeated names", and did not demand a percentage of the 2% required gets to move to a popular referendum, which will be required in the first phase, called phase supporter of the province, which need to be approved by 10% of voters rate, then the second and final phase -alastfta- and who needs to the success of the establishment of the province of 50 plus one of the votes.

As noted Abdul Latif, a member of the Governing Council of the former that other methods set forth in the executive procedures to form regions Act, which is done by applying a third of the members of the provincial council and the face of the "ignore" and the refusal of the government of Nouri al-Maliki to three times.Pointing out that the 15 groups of young people who communicate with residents to collect the signatures of one hundred thousand people OK on the formation of the province even break the barrier of skepticism. As expected Abdullatif provide signatures that will exceed the ratio of the fifty percent ndash; according Tkadirath- in the next week, to move to the Commission and asked to organize the referendum.

 

 

So says MP from Basra Amer Al-Fayez, he told Baghdad that they will not be able to stop the "rising popular demands in the province, calling the region the heat," and asserts that "the region is definitely coming."

 

Attribute-Fayez, a member bloc citizen, increasing claim the region to "marginalization" in terms of the number of ministers, which was given to the people of Basra, and the Ministries of Municipalities and communications, the two are covered Baltrchiq in accordance with the amendments to the Law of 21 for provincial councils, and also talks about the selection of security officials from outside the province, and the granting of priority for appointment in the oil installations to other provinces sons, in addition to a decline in services, and the failure to get Basra over two years, the five of $ for every barrel of oil producer, and doubts about their access to the old amount, "one dollar", and convert all amounts of border crossings to the government Federal.

 

 

Conversely warns MP from Basra to involve "religious authority" in the matter and try to be photographed as non-approval of the region, although he says that "some reference consulted, responded that a constitutional matter for the province of Basra alone."

 

In the meantime businessman visual Ramadan al-Badran and activist "long" that "the contradiction between what is generated from Basra oil and resources, and you get to meet it, and the recent agreement concluded by the Kurdistan region with the federal government says, prompted street in Basra to demand the establishment of the province."

But Badran believes that the "voice of reason" must overcome the enthusiastic claims, some of which goes into the paths of "illegal" to talk about carrying weapons or threatening to cut off oil, and says that "Basra lured Erbil-Baghdad last agreement, and that the campus of the former Prime Minister Nuri Maliki rest of the provinces to achieve an agreement similar to it in accordance with the constitutional articles 112 and 111 -alta refers to the joint management of oil between the center and Mahafezh- exploration licenses through the fourth and fifth rounds. "

 

 

He adds Badran said Maliki "took advantage of the loyalty of conservatives him, especially in Basra, which was led behind Abdul Samad and the Dawa Party, to enable Chinese companies to put their hands on all the land in Basra and exploration within oil, which blocked the way to the provinces that are self-exploration." He pointed out that the Anbar "are the only ones that benefited from the political intransigence and lack of confidence in al-Maliki did not allow the former government exploration within its territory and that can only be achieved in consultation with the province, according to the law and ignored by Maliki in dealing with the rest of the provinces and invested busy citizen artificial otherwise with Kurdistan."

 

 

He Badran that "Basra is no longer find another way to take advantage of oil after switch it off Maliki only the establishment of the province," but warns offload content province if continued the idea of ​​"local administration" did not turn into a "local government" the power to be the region "Her infallibility ".

 

 

As a businessman warned of Basra to try to convert the "economic capital" because it will lead eventually to the application of the law of the capital, Baghdad, Basra, which is not allowed to turn the capital into the province.

 

 

Apparently a member of the provincial council, Ahmed al-Sulaiti, who led the campaign more than one occasion threatened to cut off oil supplies to Baghdad if refused to pay dues, more insistent this time on the formation of the province. He says the "long" rejected the idea of ​​the region will pay the visual take into thinking that the production of three million barrels per day, the whole, and the average amount of border crossing points, which is estimated 230 billion dinars annually, and turned into an independent state. "

 

 

Sulaiti and adds that "the government prevented us from implementing the plan in 2013 by 3 trillion dinars, and 9 trillion for the year 2014 due to lack of allocations, and face the problem of lining up contractors and contractors with the conservative claimants with their money that we do not have."

basra is trying for their independence and below is what they're stating is their supporting constitutional basis

 

 

Legitimacy of the decisions issued by the Federal Supreme Court after the entry into force of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq

 

     

  Legitimacy of the decisions issued by the

  Federal Supreme Court after the entry into force of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq in 2005

Introduction

 

Federal Supreme Court is working according to the law formed Legislative Order No. 30 for the year 2005 have been derived all of its terms of reference exclusive of the Department of the Iraqi state law for the transitional phase, signed by members of the Governing Council on 8 / March / 2004 has identified Article Forty-fourth of the Law (interim constitution) this Terms of Reference.

 

 

1. exclusive jurisdiction and inherent in litigation between the transitional government and the provincial governments and departments of the provincial, municipal and local administrations.

 

 

2. the exclusive jurisdiction of the afternoon, and at the suit of the prosecutor or upon referral from another court in proceedings that a law or a system or instructions issued by the federal government or provincial governments or departments, provinces, municipalities and local administrations do not agree with this law.

 

 

3. Appeal discretionary powers of the Supreme Federal Court of federal law specifies.

 

 

4. If the Federal Supreme Court ruled that a law or a system, instructions or conducting been challenged by it is agreed with this law is obsolete these are the specialties (exclusive) constitutional work of the Supreme Federal Court has legislative matter systems No. 30 for the year 2005 these terms of reference, redrafted and completed Added to this jurisdiction and in the following manner, which stipulates Article 4 of the Federal Supreme Court Act No. 30 of 2005 to the following

 

 

 Article 4 of the Federal Supreme Court we handle the following tasks: -

 

 

First: Settling disputes that arise between the federal government and the governments of the regions and provinces, municipalities, and local administrations.

 

 

Second chapter in disputes relating to the legitimacy of laws and decrees, regulations, instructions and orders issued by any party has the right to issuance and cancellation of that contradict them with the provisions of administration and the Iraqi state law for the transitional phase, and this is at the request of a court or official or the prosecutor interested.

Consideration appeals from judgments and decisions issued by the Administrative Court.

Consideration proceedings held in front of her as an appellate jurisdiction regulates federal law.

 

 

So these are the specialties (exclusive) and (tasks) to be on the Supreme Federal Court enacting a law No. 30 of 2005, and based on all of its provisions to the Department of Law of the State of Iraq for the transitional period in the 8 / March / 2004.

 

 

Because the Constitution (0 administration and the Iraqi state law) has been abolished under Article 143 of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq in 2005 the permanent constitution of 2005 had spent the introduction of (Supreme Federal Court) in accordance with the requirements of Article 92 of the Constitution has conferred on many terms of reference more than a shrine under the State Administration Law The Supreme Federal Court Act No. 30 of 2005.

 

 

Because this court must stop working as soon as the law legislation positive legitimizes in Article 92 of the Constitution, but the legitimacy of the Supreme Federal Court has been derived from the provisions of Article 130 in Aldstorwalta stipulates permeability laws and decrees, orders and regulations issued under the administration of the Iraqi state for the transitional phase Act.

 

 

Authorized spanned the Federal Supreme Court along with the constitutional forms existed since the entry into force of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq in 2005 up to the present time clarify as follows: -

 

 

As long as the administration and the Iraqi state law have spent the formation of the Federal Supreme Court (specific terms of reference in Article Forty-fourth) and where that Article 4 of the Federal High Court Act has included these terms of reference Legislative Order No. 30 of 2005.

 

 

Because of Article 130 of the Permanent Constitution of 2005 has allowed the constitutional extension of all laws, decisions and orders enacted under the administration of the State law, unless you cancel or modify or change.

 

 

Authorized the Constitutional Court extends sprawl that of the Constitution but the specific competences in the State Administration Law and the Law on Court No. 30 of 2005.

As the Federal Court extends the functions available constitutionally article (93) which must be formed in accordance with the provisions of Article (92), where the Court shall consist of (judges and jurists) in the law, and experts in the law, which is available in the Federal Supreme Court.

 

 

As well as the presence of many disciplines of the new court, including the (ratification of the final results of the election to the House of Representatives and to change the constitution and the other that is what is not allowed (constitutionally) and (legally) and (judicial) What is the ruling for the decisions of the Supreme Federal Court (outside its legal).

 

 

We believe that all judicial decisions in which the court exceeded its jurisdiction (constitutional) and (legal) (tinged defect nullity) are not competent (to ratify the final results of the election to the House of Representatives as well as non-competent court (b interpretation of the Constitution), which is concerned to decide the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives proposals contained in the laws in accordance with the provisions of paragraph ( of article 60 of the Constitution.

 

 

Note that the decisions of the Federal Court Chkliyn take an absolute majority in voting by jurisdiction exercised or relative majority also practiced by jurisdiction (and this is what is stated in paragraph of Article Fourth Session of the Department of the State of Iraq for the transitional period law.

 

 

In summary, the Federal Court extended an extension of constitutional under Article 130 of the Constitution, but it may not be extended to the new terms of reference contained in Article 93 of the Permanent Constitution of 2005.

 

 

Solution because the judgments and decisions, interpretations, and disable the constitutional jurisdiction of the Iraqi Council of Representatives were held outside the jurisdiction of the Supreme Federal Court in the Iraqi state administration and the law of the Federal Supreme Court No. 30 of the Law for the year 2005 is the (false) and the base of nullity can not be addressed by the Federal Supreme Court (current) it must.

 

 

First: to stop the practice of these terms of reference, which were not available in the state administration and law law.

 

 

No. 30 for the year 2005.

 

 

Second to write down the text in the draft Federal Supreme Court Act allows the court, which will be in accordance with the provisions of Article 92 of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq in 2005 to reconsider all decisions and formations unconstitutional.

Deduction billion dinars from the salaries of deputies and given to the displaced.....

Headline shows politics playing the game if I am reading in to this right. If their dinar will have more power in the near future they don't mind the 50% cut. The cut looks good to the people. Now they will give that cut 50% to the displaced. The people will now also see them as generous and going without for the good of the displaced..... If only the people knew;)

idplzr, a 50% decrease in salary, would be nothing compared to a 1000% increase in the value of their currency.  Hum makes me think right?  Even if they float, based on the value of the international contracts they have signed, the value of those contracts, would increase the value of their currency significantly.  So therefore, their buying power goes up significantly when they finally choose their exchange rate regime and  move into article VIII.  It's all about buying power!

So Why Is Kalavyrta still off the coast of Gaveston, if the Central Government and Kurdistan have settled their oil agreement?

 

 

Iraq Kurdish Deal leaves the fate of United Kalavryta still unresolved

 

By Milton Stuards, Under Vessels,  Posted on Friday 5th of December 2014

 

 

 

According to a person acquainted with the matter at hand, the Iraq Oil Ministry’s production agreement with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has not helped resolve their U.S. court dilemma regarding a tanker with crude oil which has been lingering off the Texas coast since July.

The tanker United Kalavryta, which was carrying a million barrels of Kurdish crude, was sent to sea before the agreement was signed on December 2nd. After meeting behind closed doors in Houston with U.S. District Judge Gray Miller, which took place yesterday, Hal Watson, the KRG’s lead lawyer, did not wish to comment on whether or not the Kurds will continue their efforts of bringing the stranded cargo into the US. Jim Loftis, who is the leading Iraq lawyer, said that there was a discussion between him, the judge and KRG’s attorney regarding the agreement.

The Iraqi central government has been making attempts towards seizing the $100 million cargo of the United Kalavryta, for more than four months, in order to negate a scenario in which KRG would crack oil markets in the U.S.. Energy companies have displayed a fair share of reluctance to accept oil claimed by Iraq to have been exported from Kurdistan without its consent.

The tanker itself has been circling a tracking buoy about 60 miles off Galveston, Texas, patiently waiting to receive a final decision. In accordance to VesselFinder tracking reports, the location and draft of the ship have remained unchanged as of December 2nd.

Current position of United Kalavryta

Loftis said that the lawyers were asked by the judge to update him on their dispute ‘s status after a week or so. Watson did not comment on whether or not a deal had been reached regarding the tanker.

Kurdistan is recognized as being part of Iraq by the U.S. government so the U.S. has tried to keep a status of a neutral side. The Oil Ministry cited the Iraqi Constitution by which is stated that all oil resources belong to the Iraqi people.

KRG has expressed its view on the matter by saying that Kurds have the right to make complete use of their own oilfields in order to provide funding for their independence struggles and their fight against Islamic State militants that are trying to take control of the region.

Iraq, which suspended billions of dollars last year in payments owed the KRG for oil royalties and war reparations, has taken a softer approach and agreed on December 2nd to forgo some payments and give permission to the Kurds to export up to 550, 000 barrels a day via Turkey as Safeen Dizayee, a KRG spokesman, commented on the phone.

According to a statement made by Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Al Alabadi’s office, the production-sharing compromises place 250, 000 barrels of the above-mentioned daily amount under the supervision of the Iraqi central government
