The Iraqi Constitution

The Iraqi Constitution, adopted in 2005, is Iraq’s fundamental law outlining the country’s political structure, rights, and responsibilities. It establishes Iraq as a federal, democratic republic where power is divided among the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches. The constitution recognizes Iraq’s diverse ethnic and religious groups, ensuring rights and protections for minorities. It also defines the roles of the central government and regional authorities, notably Kurdistan. Moreover, it guarantees freedoms like speech, religion, and assembly, while setting rules for elections and governance to promote stability, justice, and national unity in a diverse society.
