3-15-2019   Newshound Guru Adam Montana   One item that is of note, and may push us out just a little bit, is the budget/fiscal year. There is a LOT of accounting to be done with any kind of monetary change, and it would certainly make things cleaner to change the rate on a specific date that coincided with something logical like the start of a fiscal year or quarter, or perhaps the beginning of a new budget, or something like that.  We are a couple weeks away from the end of Iraq's first fiscal quarter. Their fiscal (XYZ) can be a bit confusing because they don't get the new budget out until after the new fiscal year has already begun, and in the past they have stated that surplus in the budget applies to the following year.  Oh, there's nothing like proper planning, where the first three months of the year you have no idea what's in your checking account or what bills are in the mailbox.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -

After the Iraqi parliament discussed a new draft resolution on "cybercrime" in preparation for a vote, it described international and Iraqi human rights organizations as a serious regression to the freedom of expression in Iraq and called for its withdrawal and the organization of consultations with civil society to prepare new legislation dealing with cyber crimes Basic human. The Center for the Rights of Iraq in support of freedom of expression in a press statement called on the House of Representatives not to pass the law on informatics crimes, warning that it would restrict the freedom of expression in the country because of some of its articles that are not commensurate with the magnitude of acts that may be committed on the Internet. The Center noted that while many observations are made on the draft law on cybercrime, it is feared that the legislation of the "locked" laws with severe penalties and materials with multiple interpretation aimed at ending the voices critical of the performance of the authorities or stop the freedom of expression in social networking sites and the Internet. The Center for Rights called for the draft law to be brought to public debate through its promotion by freedom of expression specialists to contribute to democratization, to be a solid law rather than an official tool of intimidation used by officials whenever they wish. Iraqi media also protested against legislation such as this law, including the media, Adnan al-Tai, who chirped: "According to the new information crimes law, anyone who tries to describe the political system in Iraq will be sentenced to life imprisonment. The statement was signed by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Press Institute, the Iraqi Association for the Defense of Journalists' Rights, the Iraqi Network for Community Media, AccessNow, the Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights, Human Rights Organization, Pen International and the Iraqi Pen Center. In a letter to the Iraqi parliament, they expressed their deep concern over the re-introduction of the "Cybercrime" The House of Representatives noted that it had already been put before the Council for a first reading on January 12, 2019. She also expressed concern that "the published text represents a slightly revised version of the draft dating back to 2011, which has been widely criticized by civil society organizations, especially as the main issues are still The former Speaker of the House of Representatives had formally approved on February 6, 2013 a request by the Parliamentary Committee for Media and Culture to withdraw the text because it constitutes a "retreat of freedom of expression in Iraq" They noted that they recognize that "the need to adopt legislation on cybercrime" However, she warned that if this law is enacted N in its current form represents a serious decline in freedom of expression in Iraq, and establishes self-censorship in the country. "It is particularly concerned about articles 3, 4 and 6 that provide for the punishment of vague and unclear acts which may fall under the right to freedom of expression, life imprisonment and heavy fines." She explained that the text of the informatics bill contained loose and subjective terms Lack of legal clarity and predictability such as "compromising the independence, unity, integrity, economic, political, military or security interests of the country," "inciting sectarian or sectarian strife, disrupting security and public order, or harming the country's reputation." Formed In a vague manner that would grant a broad discretionary authority to the authorities, allowing them to suppress the right to freedom of expression. For example, articles 21 and 22 penalize "anyone who has attacked any religious, moral, family, social or religious principles or values private life" Or acts contrary to "morality and morals." In addition, this provision is punishable by imprisonment for up to two years, any person convicted of "libel and insult". They stated that the UN Human Rights Committee had made it clear in its general comment No. 34 that criminal penalties for "defamation" were not commensurate with the actual exercise of the right to freedom of expression. The organizations noted that other provisions, including article 18, violated the right to privacy and information and could hinder whistleblower activities. It warned that the law would cause Internet users to fear the exercise of their basic rights and freedoms on the Internet, and that the right to freedom of expression would be protected from its essence. In the long term, the law would affect the right to freedom of information and the right to participate in public affairs in Iraq.The right to freedom of expression is guaranteed under Article 38 (1) of the Iraqi Constitution, as well as article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which the State of Iraq is party. It called on the Iraqi Council of Representatives to withdraw the draft cybercrime law in its current form and to organize consultations, including with civil society, to prepare new legislation dealing with cybercrime while ensuring respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms of all in Iraq.
