Legal expert: The validity of Article 140 of the Constitution is valid and binding on all authorities

 

 

17th August, 2019

 

A legal expert confirmed the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court on the validity of Article (140) of the Constitution, pointing out that the time limits provided for in the Constitution include the obligation on the bodies responsible for the implementation of those articles, pointing out that the withdrawal of any text of the Constitution requires an amendment in accordance with mechanisms Official.

"The ruling issued by the Federal Supreme Court regarding the validity of Article (140) of the Constitution is true and binding on all authorities," said expert Mohammed Sharif, noting that "the abolition of any article of the Constitution requires an amendment in accordance with the mechanisms provided for in the Constitution itself."

He pointed out that "a number of questions are being asked about the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court on this article and the first time of the issuance of this ruling, and why the judicial decision coincided with the political movement between the federal government and the Kurdistan region."

Al-Sharif pointed out that the court did not issue its verdict on its own, but this came upon an explanatory request received from the House of Representatives dated (15/7/2019), and therefore became necessary for the judiciary to decide. He added that "the timing must be asked by the interpreter, although the right of access to justice is guaranteed to everyone in accordance with Article (19 / III) of the Constitution, at any time."

Al-Sharif added that "the court issued its interpretative judgment a few days after receiving the request after it completed its study of all formal and substantive aspects in order to issue the verdict in it, on (28/7/2019)." He stressed that "when the court issued the verdict was in accordance with Article (92 / second) of the Constitution, in accordance with its interpretative jurisdiction, which ruled in several judgments, including on the (age of the electoral cycle and the largest parliamentary bloc and the opposition bloc and the unity of Iraq and territorial integrity)."

Al-Sharif stated that "the explanatory request contained a clear inquiry which can be found in the form of provision numbered (71 / Federal / 2019), which is (kindly explain the text of article (140) of the Constitution as to whether it applies or not)." He stressed that "the explanatory request, the House of Representatives, limited his request to know whether this article is still in force or not ?, The court according to legal contexts are obliged to answer that question whenever the correct formal and substantive conditions for the request for interpretation and otherwise will put itself before the responsibility ( Refrain from fulfilling the right)."

Sharif said that "the pretext mentioned by the objectors in their criticism of the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court is the existence of a time limit in Article (140) of the Constitution, is (31/12/2007) a maximum to implement." He added that "resolving the issue requires a return to the philosophy of the existence of time limits in the constitutional articles, is that exceeding them is the birthplace of those articles."

Sharif pointed out that "the examination of article (140) of the Constitution paragraphs (first and second) shows that it begins with the words (the executive takes steps) ... and ends with the words (not later than the thirty-first of December in the year two thousand and seven)." He continued, "This period, as stated in the constitutional text, imposes an obligation on the executive authority to accomplish its task during that period and not to drop the article, that is, if the executive authority lags in the completion of this constitutional task will be subject to accountability in accordance with the mechanisms provided for in the Constitution."

Sharif stressed that "dropping an article in the Constitution means that we are making an amendment to it, and this amendment can be obtained only through the mechanisms provided for in the Constitution itself." He pointed out that "the constitutional legislator, if he wanted to exclude Article (140) of the Constitution from the rules of amendment of the Constitution stipulated in its articles, to mention it explicitly, as his intention was clear that this period was designed to oblige the executive authority to a certain task, and that skipping it will make it accountable ".

Al-Sharif stated that "the position of the Federal Supreme Court on this matter is not the first of its kind, but it went in the same position in the interpretation of Article (142) of the Constitution by virtue of the number (54 / Federal / 2017) issued on 21/5/2017 on the mechanisms to amend the Constitution". He added that "Article (142), which was also included in the transitional provisions and provided for time limits for the amendments, but the court said in its interpretative ruling that that article is still in force as well."

Sharif added that "the same position with regard to Article (137) of the Constitution, which talked about the formation of the Council of the Union (the second wing of the legislative authority), after the end of the first electoral cycle for the years (2006-2010), but the Federal Supreme Court in many of its judgments on the formation of this Council even though we are in the fourth electoral cycle now. " He pointed out that "the summary of the above shows us that exceeding constitutional provisions is not intended to drop its articles as this requires an amendment in accordance with the mechanisms provided for in the Constitution itself, but to determine the responsibility of the body responsible for its implementation and if exceeded are held accountable in accordance with the constitutional contexts of the concerned authorities."

"The government's ability to absorb the labor force is very limited by public jobs and investment activity, and to provide a solution for nearly half a million labor force added to the market annually, from the age of 15 years up, we need steps to partnership with the private sector and the use of savings and some government savings in To create a participatory economy capable of absorbing unemployment and gradually increasing the limited annual conversion rates for the years 2018 to 2020 to achieve 7 percent employment annually.

He added, "We need two basic things that are able to move the economic cycle and drive growth rates: the construction sector and the agricultural sector, which constitute 18 percent of the labor force alone, and the adoption of content to them better than the oil sector and the way of government partnership and guaranteed pillars of development, with bank transfer to grant loans Development and Investment".

Deputy : delayed designation of the Minister of Education is an indicator of a flaw in the work of the government

 

 

17th August, 2019

 

 

I promised a member of the House of Representatives Suad al-Waeli, the delay in the nomination of the Minister of Education, an indication of a clear defect in the work of the government.

Al-Waeli told Al-Ahd News on Saturday that "there are many problems that exist in the Ministry of Education, which can not be solved easily, most notably the start of the new school year and prepare for it and the curriculum and school buildings."

He added, "All these problems can not be solved with the presence of a minister who runs the ministry acting, as we expected the government to nominate a candidate for the Ministry of Education since the beginning of the formation of the government, but we did not expect that the ministry will remain without a minister until this time."

She said, "There is a clear government neglect of the education sector, despite the importance of this ministry as the foundation for the building of the state and society." She explained that "previous governments were listening to complaints received by the parliamentary committee concerned and meet with them periodically to resolve problems in this important sector, but the current government deliberately froze the role of the Committee as if they are unwilling to promote this sector."

Quadruple Market Economy Failure

Reading theory

 

Hamed Abdul Hussain Al - Jubouri

 

A market economy is an economic system used to manage the economy and address the economic problem and achieve the set goals, but at the same time suffers from complex failures that can not get rid of which necessitates state intervention to address them.

The market economy differs, but it is the opposite of the state economy, in terms of ownership, purpose, means and the system of achieving the goals.While the former relies on private ownership, profit, the private sector and the market to run the economy, the second relies on public ownership and the reduction of class inequality and the state and the central planning of the conduct of the economy.

The market economy is based on the ownership of the means of production of individuals and the right to practice economic activity directly, unconditionally only contrary to the public interest, in order to achieve profits and that the price (the market) is the guarantor to determine the size and efficiency of production, and this does not mean there are no problems With the intent or accompaniment of a market economy it can contribute to its failure. Thus, getting rid of these failures is a guarantee for the success of a market economy, but getting rid of these failures is very difficult.

The most prominent of these failures are the lack of competition, public goods, side effects (external) and economic stability that encourage or discourage the market economy, and can be addressed as follows:

Lack of competition

Competition is inherent to the market economy. Whenever there is a market economy there is competition, but the problem of lack of this competition and incomplete, which contribute to the failure of the market. Some production with minimal resources, which contributes to the absence of the optimal allocation of resources and the recent waste, which exacerbates the economic problem!

The monopoly contributes to the valuation of products at a price that is far from their due to the fact that producers are the minority and can control prices according to their own interests.

However, under the full prevalence of competition (full competition), which is represented by a large number of producers and buyers, freedom of entry and exit to and from the market, homogeneity of quantities and qualities produced by producers, and information available to producers and consumers on market conditions, optimal resource allocation will be achieved and waste will be eliminated. Resources and market distortions, as producers compete among themselves for profit, they are forced to minimize production costs and raise product efficiency.

General goods

There are some commodities that the private sector does not invest in for many technical, ethical and economic reasons. [1] For example, the nature of security is indivisible and cannot be measured by the extent to which the individual benefits from it, and therefore must be saturated collectively and cannot be dispensed with, in addition to its technical nature. The moral reason is not worthy of putting them at the mercy of the private sector and bargaining them, for example, bargaining in security.There are some commodities of a technical nature that allow to know the extent of the benefit of the individual, but it requires monitoring and alimony, which makes it economically useless, it would be better to provide free of charge by the state.

The nature of these commodities does not allow to know the extent of the individual benefit from them and can not be excluded from consumption because it did not pay the price of benefiting from them, and this reduces the incentive of investors to turn to them, so they remain without the satisfaction of the private sector and here requires the entry of the state to satisfy them.

side effects

The medication that patients are taking can have side effects as well. When the private sector is engaged in its economic activity, there will be some side effects that can not be measured so that they can bear their costs or benefits. These effects are positive and sometimes negative. By producing scientific theories, society will benefit from them without any financial return for all who benefited from the aesthetics of the region and scientific theories, that is, it will be part of the benefit of society at the expense of producers, and this is known as positive side effects.

The release of the waste of a plant into the air will affect the fresh air that others have the right to be clean. Part of its costs by another! That is, part of the profits of the factory and the carpenter will be at the expense of others, and this is known as negative side effects.

Economic instability

It is well known that economic stability is one of the important factors for the smooth functioning of economic activity, and vice versa.

The main indicators of economic stability are unemployment and inflation. The first is often a result, but the second can be a reason given that inflation is based on the depreciation of the value of money. The official in charge of money management is an independent authority called the central bank. On the stability of the value of money and for a long time then this country will be trusted by the private sector because many people will buy goods, especially durable way of payment term and for a long time as a result of the stability of the currency and make sure that the value of the currency will not decline in the future.

If the currency is highly volatile, few people make long-term exchanges because of uncertainty, in other words, they expect prices to fall in the future and this maximizes their benefits and so they refrain from buying in volatility.

The market economy is proceeding smoothly in light of economic stability away from faltering, which contributes to the absorption of unemployment and vice versa.

In sum, a market economy is an economic system that can achieve economic goals but at the same time suffers from complex failures. Its role is to supervise and follow the march of the market economy to avoid failures again.

Equitable distribution of wealth

 

 

 

Mohammed Abdul Jabbar Carp

 

 

The ideas of this article are based on a vision that the country's money and wealth belong to its own people. The Constitution approved this for oil and gas in Article (111), which says: "Oil and gas is the property of all the Iraqi people in all regions and provinces."

It is the duty of the state, among other things, to ensure the equitable distribution of wealth in society, and this is achieved through two basic mechanisms: work and need. On the basis of the work done by the citizen, he gets his share of public money. Therefore, the State strives to ensure that its employees or in the private sector receive fair, equitable and decent wages. It is this that called me to make great efforts to improve the conditions of workers in the Iraqi media network by increasing their salaries, and the same thing I did with artists and others in the many dramas produced by the network when I was president. Some have criticized me for the comfortable wages we paid to artists. My answer was that these are Iraqi citizens and this is one way to get a decent share of the wealth of their country through the art work they do for the network.

This is for those who are able to work, but for those who are unable for various reasons, they get their share of their country's wealth through the social protection network or social security.

The state should also address the situation of those suffering "natural inequality." They are suffering from poverty and destitution for reasons beyond their means completely, while others enjoy the joys of life for reasons beyond their direct efforts. The Koran showed how to address this situation through the principle: "Those who have in their money a known right of the liquid and deprived."

The second mechanism is to determine the share of the citizen of the public wealth, in light of the actual need to enjoy a decent life. A decent life may be a relative term that varies from one society to another, but in the present era, the outline or minimum has become known and shared. The need may arise because of the inability of the citizen to work at all, or because of his insufficient work to meet the needs of goods and services required by a minimum of decent life. In this case, the society, directly or through the state, to fill the needy needy, not out of charity and security, but out of the right of social solidarity.

The state can devise various ways to help those in need. One of these methods is easy lending to these citizens. The needy citizen expects to receive a small loan from the state on concessional terms and nominal interest. This is the case in many countries.

These days, government banks are announcing small loans to citizens working in the public sector and nationalizing their salaries in the banks that provide the loan. But I noticed that these banks carry a small loan with an interest rate of 40%, under the pretext of easy repayment on a monthly basis. Anyone who borrows 10 million dinars, for example, to buy a taxi to work on, will pay the state about 14 million dinars. This is undoubtedly a large sum and a heavy burden on a low-income citizen. The state would not have made such a move. This is "a door in which he has mercy and his appearance by His torment." I know many of the citizens who reluctantly accepted this heavy load because their need for little money is great, and the state simply and clearly exploit this need obscene, and contrary to the right of the public money when it needs it.

So Washington uses the yuan to hit China

 

 

Consolidation of the dollar as the currency leading the international monetary system (AFP)

 

Musa Mahdi

August 16, 2019

 

What benefits will the US gain from the decision to declare China a currency manipulator that led to the deterioration of the yuan's exchange rate, and how will it use the turbulence of the Chinese currency to achieve the goal of destroying the Chinese economy? 

President Donald Trump's administration is seeking to destroy the Chinese economy or at least hit China's rapid growth since the global financial crisis in 2008, as part of President Donald Trump's declared strategy of restoring greatness to America as the sole dominant country in the new world order he wants to build. Strengthens his country's position as the sole superpower leading the world unchallenged. 

To implement this strategy, the administration plans to dismantle the old world order based on "multipolar institutions", whether in trade such as the WTO or cash and money. Such as the IMF and the World Bank, or political management such as the United Nations. After these institutions are destroyed, they plan to build or rebuild alternative institutions to serve absolute control of the US decision.

Although America built the existing "multilateral system" after the Second World War and engineered its institutions to serve its interests, Washington believes that these institutions have become obsolete and lost their role as the engine of American foreign policy with the rise of China's economic as a major economic power and the emergence of new financial centers In Asia and Latin America. 

In this context, it is possible to understand the ferocious trade, monetary and technical wars that Washington has been waging with China and with many countries in the world since President Trump's rise to power. As well as his attack on the United Nations, which reduced the volume of US funding for many of its development and humanitarian programs.

President Trump, according to his stated policies, does not want to deal with economic or political blocs, whether friendly or unfriendly, but seeks to renegotiate with each country individually, so that he can exploit the size of the huge US economy estimated at $ 20 trillion and the size of the market consumption of 11 Trillion dollars and the influence of the dollar in kneeling States and dictate its terms without discussion or argument.

 

As for the war on the Chinese yuan in the context of the multi-purpose trade war, President Trump does not like Chinese President Xi Jinping's plans to internationalize the yuan, that is, he is disturbed by the trade expansion of China through the strategy of "belt and road" and seeks to block the way to build a Chinese commercial space . Such a trade space would automatically increase the yuan's share of global trade settlements.

The establishment of China's futures exchange in Shanghai, where oil is sold in the so-called "golden yuan," threatens the dollar's position as the official currency for oil deals. China's foreign investment operations and "commodity swaps" using the yuan also serve the internationalization plans of the yuan, a currency that has a weight in the strategic reserves of global central banks. If left unchecked, these plans would threaten the dollar's dominant position in world trade and its role as a major reserve currency for global central banks, with the dollar taking a 62% share of global reserves. 

But how will the Trump administration achieve its goals by depreciating the yuan's exchange rate? Some would argue that Washington's decision to "declare China as a yuan-denying country" and the subsequent Chinese exchange rate devaluation would serve Chinese exports and thus benefit China's trade expansion.

 

So far, the yuan has lost 10 percent of its value over the past year and 20 percent since the start of the trade war. Thus, the continued deterioration in the exchange rate of the Chinese currency will gradually withdraw from the most important function of cash, namely, the function of "Treasury to save wealth." The turmoil could drive foreign investors and China's wealthy themselves out of the Chinese market. Fears of a weakening yuan will push China's wealthy to erode the real value of their wealth when calculated in dollars. The same fears will also drive foreign investors into the decline in the real value of their profits in the Chinese market when converted into dollars.

Professor George Magnus, a lecturer at the University of Oxford, who specializes in Chinese economics, says that "lowering the exchange rate of the yuan will revive Chinese trade by a small amount. Consumer growth. "

By the same token, Deutsche Bank market strategist Alan Ruskin agrees that the use of the yuan is a double-edged sword for China. While it increases exports, it increases the import bill. Therefore, the ultimate outcome of the weakening yuan will be against China. On the other hand, the weak yuan will automatically hit China's economic growth plan, which is based on reviving domestic consumption and the service sector. For its part, the IMF believes that the devaluation will have a rapid impact on the rise in the value of imports, but its impact on exports is usually limited.

 

In 2016, when the yuan's exchange rate depreciated, China's financial market was in its worst period of turmoil, and an estimated $ 725 billion worth of wealth fled China. A sizeable percentage of its $ 3 trillion dollar reserves was spent to support the yuan's stability. 

At the consumer level and the popularity of the political system, the low yuan raises the prices of imported goods, thus increasing the discontent of the Chinese youth of the ruling system, because it deprives them of Western goods and brands they are used to.

18th August, 2019

 

Economic expert Jassim Mohammed, on Sunday, that the draft federal budget law for 2020 will turn the country into an open market for international capital.

Mohammed said in a statement to the information, that "the government will make an economic mistake in the budget of 2020 being a similar version of the budgets of previous years, as it was allocated for investment only 2%, in addition to the absence of development," pointing out that "the budget is no longer in the hands of competent and this matter Negatively affects its financial estimates.”

Baghdad in a scene different from what is reported by the media

 

18th August, 2019

 

In a completely different scene from the images the world media used to relocate from a city once described as a city of violence and chaos, and nearly two years after Iraq declared total victory over ISIS, Baghdad is quietly reshaping Dar es Salaam.

 

Members of rival motorcyclists in Iraq, dressed in leather and black hats, take part in semi-circles with a dancing party waving bright shiny sticks as they raise their arms covered with tattoos.

 

 

 

 

The Mughal Motorcycle Club Circle was one of many circles with a summer festival by Rayut Gear (a concert - a car show) held at a sports stadium in central Baghdad .

 

 

 

 

Arshad Hibet, 30, a film director and founder of Riot Gear, which organizes the concerts, says: "Young people are mostly the public. People know their culture. "People have confidence, it means winning people's trust."

 

 

 

 

RIOT GEAR has previously held similar concerts in Iraq before, but Friday's concert was the first open to the public.

 

 

 

 

The ceremony began with a demonstration of young cars and modified imported motorcycles, and by night the event turned into a dance music.

They are so ready to be like Westerners it’s not even funny. This country has been so beaten down by tyrannical rule for so long they will explode in a good way with international investment and a currency that has some buying power. Iran is ready to get rid of the Mullah’s leadership too.  It’s just a shame that all that oil revenue is wasted when people are starving and without basic services.

The ideas of this article are based on a vision that the country's money and wealth belong to its own people. The Constitution approved this for oil and gas in Article (111), which says: "Oil and gas is the property of all the Iraqi people in all regions and provinces."

 

Bingo, do it.  Give your people a real treat.

 Oh, YEAH!!!, Pitcher, AND ALL The Very Best!!! 

 

MY (NOTE: MY) opinion is THEE Bicraqi Iraqi Dinar WILL HAVE TO ReInstate INTERNATIONALLY sufficiently PRIOR to the 2020 budget being PROPOSED.

 

WHEN, pray tell, WILL THEE PRELIMINARY 2020 Bicraqi Iraqi Budget BE "submitted"???

 

IF I remember right, THEE PRELIMINARY 2019 Bicraqi Iraqi Budget was submitted late 3Q/early 4Q LAST YEAR. Sure, in TYPICAL Bicraqi Iraqi Fashion, NO approval UNTIL MUCH MO LATER. THEE 2019 Bicraqi Iraqi Budget SURPRISINGLY passed MUCH MO EARLIER than OTHERS in MO recent "history".

 

BESIDES...............................................................................................................................

 

THEE Bicraqi Iraqi Dinar INTERNATIONAL "exchange" "rate" WILL HAVE TO BE SHOWN TO BE STABLE FOR A SUFFICIENT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS WILL, uh, INVEST WITH CONFIDENCE!!!

 

I can NOT imagine "an open market for international investment" CAN be started AT A PROGRAM RATE Bicraqi Iraqi Dinar!!!

 

SO................................................BBBIIINNNGGGOOO........................................................
