Three Kurdish members added to constitution amendment committee

SULAIMANI — Deputy Speaker of the Council of Representatives Bashir Haddad confirmed on Saturday (November 9) that three new Kurdish members had been added to the committee looking at possible constitutional amendments.

Haddad said on his official Facebook page that, with the help of Kurdish caucuses in the Council of Representatives, they were able to increase the number of Kurdish members on the committee from three to six.

The Kurdish members of the committee now include Vian Sabri, Jwan Ihsan, Yousef Mohammed Sadiq, Abdulbari Mudaris, Jamal Kocher, and Rebwar Hadi.

The creation of the commission is an attempt by the government to respond to weeks of anti-government protests that have rocked central and southern Iraq, which have left around 300 people dead and thousands wounded.

So far, the idea of amending the constitution has received a cool response in Erbil, with Kurdish officials warning that they will reject any attempt to undermine the Kurdistan Region's constitutional status or rights of minority groups.

List of rights and freedoms

Tuesday, November 12, 2019 56

 

Mohammed Abdul Jabbar Carp

 

I remind dear readers that I am a supporter of reform within the framework of the Constitution. In this sense, I called for the application of Article 64 of the Constitution as a first step in the comprehensive political reform and restructuring of the Iraqi state.

Before applying this article, the House of Representatives must legislate the Individual Election Law and form a new Electoral Commission.

We will have a new Government and Council within 60 days of the application of Article 64.

Complementing the reform process within the framework of the Constitution, the new Council of Representatives and the Council of Ministers will have to take all necessary measures and decisions to implement the provisions of Part Two of the Constitution, which is a list of rights and freedoms in Iraq.

In spite of all that is said about the disadvantages of the Constitution, this section constitutes an important document on its subject, ie rights and duties. It is clear that the absolute call for the abolition of the constitution is incorrect and expresses an urgent view of things. Comprehensive reform or change does not mean abolishing everything and starting from a new starting point. This is the approach of the military coups that took place on July 14, 1958 and July 17, 1968, and the result of the loss of Iraqi society to the property of "accumulation" or accumulation of political experience. This is detrimental to the political development of society. The correct approach to reform is to build on existing positive points to add more new positives and address existing negatives. This applies in particular to the articles of Title II of the Constitution.

Four governments were formed after the referendum on the constitution in 2005. Unfortunately, these governments did not pay the articles of Chapter II, which required attention in terms of school education and practical application and therefore did not become such materials an important part of the political culture in Iraqi society. Nor did they make the articles of the section outline their practical programs. The same applies to the political blocs that fought the electoral conflict in 2006, 2010, 2014 and finally 2018.

When popular anger exploded in Baghdad and some central and southern provinces, the articles of Part Two were not included in the list of popular demands; on the contrary, the abolition of the constitution became a prerequisite. This reveals a significant lack of constitutional culture for Iraqi youth. The Ministry of Education, the official body responsible for the upbringing of the new generation, is responsible for this lack of public culture. If the ministry had been in charge of educating students on the new constitution since 2005, the next 12 years would have been enough to produce a new generation starting in 2017 that absorbed the constitution, especially the rights and freedoms. This is one of the most important shortcomings in the political class, which did not give the Ministry of Education its share of the necessary attention, and therefore did not give the new generation its share of the necessary education and political upbringing of which the articles of Chapter II spine.

Successive governments have not become accustomed to presenting their practical programs to the parliament to gain confidence on the basis of it. When it offered something similar to that, as did the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi, it was not what it did to provide for the implementation of the articles of Chapter II and how to do so. The demonstrators are making the same mistake now, when they neglect in their cheers, statements and demands the articles of Chapter II, which can bring a degree of happiness and a decent living for Iraqis if taken by successive governments indicators of their work. The same would happen if young demonstrators took these materials as a guide. The demonstrators confined themselves to the use of one sentence in this section, which provides for the right to demonstrate, and ignored the rest of the articles that provide for many other rights. This is to send two messages with the same content, to both the ruling class and the demonstrators, by making the application of the articles of Chapter II a target for them.

Have the leaders of the political blocs falsified the constitution in a "deal" that circumvented the Iraqi people?

BAGHDAD / Obelisk: Political sources revealed a "trick" committed by leaders of political forces in 2005 by agreeing to falsify paragraphs in the Constitution after the referendum of the people, which means that the Iraqis voted on a "different" constitution on what was developed, and work on.

The sources said that the matter is related to article 139 only, where it was added later with other axes related to it, leaving the Constitution in force for the draft that was distributed to the people for information.

Iraqis voted on the country's permanent constitution on October 15, 2005.

Article 142 on the amendment of the Constitution gives the right, to three provinces combined, to reject any amendments, which is maintained by the Kurdish forces in rejecting any change does not serve their interests in Iraq.

The Kurds and Sunnis are trying to prevent any constitutional amendments that undermine the gains of the constituents.

Shiite forces are trying to contain the popular protest movement, which began on October 1, by announcing its readiness to revise the constitution and submit proposals to the parliamentary constitutional amendment committee. The gains currently enjoyed by the region. The Sunni parties seek to maintain the parliamentary system, to avoid uniqueness of power, and to lose opportunities for effective participation in state administration by ensuring a stable percentage of ministries, as well as the presidency of the Iraqi parliament.

MP Yusuf al-Kalabi, on his Facebook page, said that "the draft version of the 2005 constitution distributed by the IHEC and distributed to citizens in their shops through ration agents two weeks before the referendum, contained only 139 articles, and there is no article 142. They added in the last two days before the referendum.

Al-Kalabi adds that it is a "deception" committed by the state, and regretted the silence of the Federal Court and the organizations concerned.

He calls on "all loyal nationalists of the media, politicians and legal, led by the Iraqi Bar Association to discuss this issue, in a number of satellite channels urgently."

If this is true, this means that the leaders of the political process falsified the constitution after the referendum of the people, in a clear circumvention process, which requires investigation and accountability.

The "distorted" material is the most prominent point of disagreement between the political components; Article (140), concerning normalization and statistics, the referendum of Kirkuk and the disputed areas in the provinces.

Article (142), to the formation of a committee of members of parliament to be representative of the main components of Iraqi society to report to the Council of Representatives, within a period not exceeding four months, containing a recommendation of the necessary amendments that can be made to the Constitution. However, the same article said that the amended articles shall be submitted to the popular referendum within a period not exceeding two months from the date of approval of the amendment in the House of Representatives.
