Legal expert: Parliament is in “unannounced” legislative recess

Sunday 01 August 2021 156

 

  Baghdad: Shaima Rashid

 

The legal expert, Tariq Harb, explained that the parliament sessions have not been held yet, because the parliament is enjoying its legislative recess (although it has not been announced). 

Harb said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "Parliament began its recess on the third of last July and ends on the third of next September, meaning that Parliament is now in the period of parliamentary recess, and then the fourth year begins, and these are constitutional dates that cannot be manipulated."

He added: “Parliament can hold sessions for it if there is an emergency, or if the speaker of parliament or a number of deputies requests that, provided that the sessions are held for an emergency matter only, and they are not entitled to set an agenda during the legislative recess, but rather the invitation to the session is determined during Holiday".

Ahead of the upcoming legislative elections, Parliament lives in a state of disruption, which many consider intended because members of the Parliament are preoccupied with the electoral campaign, a situation in which the legislative house has entered so that it is almost in the process of conducting business away from entering into the details of legislation laws or parliamentary interrogations at the present time.

In order to avoid the state of stagnation experienced by Parliament, some see the need for some members of the Council to go to the constitution and the internal system law, to move towards deeming the state of absenteeism illegal, in a step that may push the wheel of oversight and legislative work at the present time.

 

 

Observers believe that the continued disruption of parliament sessions sends a negative message to the Iraqis, especially as the political forces in the parliament play their role in mobilizing and urging citizens to participate in the elections, and at the same time they are unable to attend parliament sessions to exercise their role in accordance with the constitution.
