الإجراءات الكفيلة بتعديل الدستور العراقي لعام ٢٠٠٥

Abstract

The topic of the amendment of the Iraqi Constitution of 2005 has been raised quite often. It has been repeatedly described as static and, thus, unamendable. This allegation may not be totally true, tough it is partially so. The Iraqi Constitution, however, may be amended without affecting its sovereignty and ordinance. This includes the search for new ideas that views the Constitution as an analytical study within the validity of the 2005 Constitution. This procedure might be regarded as a response to the rising calls for reformation, and to prepare the ground for more mass political participations that set the national consensus as its ultimate target. In other words, the proposed amendment of the Constitution particularly seeks to focus on the general framework of the amendment itself in terms of its definition, procedures, the obstacles laying ahead of its execution and its legal and political worthiness as seen by the constitutional legal advisory corps. The process of constitutional reform will bring about a number of advantages which may close the gap between the legislative and executive authorities. and further it may provide solutions for the problems which resulted from the post 2005 inevitable constitutional application.
