Political Considerations of Constitutional Judiciary in Iraq

Abstract

Regardless of the institutional form in which it is embodied, the constitutional judiciary is considered one of the most important components of the judicial system in the state, due to the functions and powers it exercises, which enable it to review the constitutionality of laws and interpret constitutional provisions. Accordingly, the constitutional judiciary is of a legal nature; however, like other institutions within the state, it also plays a political role within the political system.

Therefore, this research seeks to examine this issue under the title “Political Considerations of Constitutional Judiciary in Iraq,” by defining the concept of the constitutional judiciary as well as analyzing its effectiveness within the political sphere.
