  • Iraq 2019 Human Rights Report
    IRAQ 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Iraq is a constitutional parliamentary republic. The 2018 parliamentary elections, while imperfect, generally met international standards of free and fair elections and led to the peaceful transition of power from Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to Adil Abd al-Mahdi. On December 1, in response to protesters’ demands for significant changes to the political system, Abd al-Mahdi submitted his resignation, which the Iraqi Council of Representatives (COR) accepted. As of December 17, Abd al-Mahdi continued to serve in a caretaker capacity while the COR worked to identify a replacement in accordance with the Iraqi constitution. Numerous domestic security forces operated throughout the country. The regular armed forces and domestic law enforcement bodies generally maintained order within the country, although some armed groups operated outside of government control. Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) consist of administratively organized forces within the Ministries of Interior and Defense, and the Counterterrorism Service. The Ministry of Interior is responsible for domestic law enforcement and maintenance of order; it oversees the Federal Police, Provincial Police, Facilities Protection Service, Civil Defense, and Department of Border Enforcement. Energy police, under the Ministry of Oil, are responsible for providing infrastructure protection. Conventional military forces under the Ministry of Defense are responsible for the defense of the country but also carry out counterterrorism and internal security operations in conjunction with the Ministry of Interior. The Counterterrorism Service reports directly to the prime minister and oversees the Counterterrorism Command, an organization that includes three brigades of special operations forces. The National Security Service (NSS) intelligence agency reports directly to the prime minister.

Alkhuzaie Civil Engineering Department, College of Engineering, University of Al-Qadisiyah, Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq Hussein Janna Civil Engineering Department, College of Engineering, University of Al-Qadisiyah, Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq ABSTRACT Nowadays, solid waste is one of the major problems that affecting the environment. The selection of a landfill is a complex task related to many factors and regulations. Currently, there is no landfill site in Al-Diwaniyah city which the capital of Al- Qadisiyah province that meets scientific and environmental standards. Geographic Information System and analysis hierarchical process method were used to provide the optimum location for the landfill for Al-Diwaniyah city. In this study, fourteen appropriate criteria are selected which are: depth of groundwater, city centers, rivers, clans, soil types, elevation, wind, roads, slope, land use, archaeological sites, power grid, gas pipeline, and railways. These criteria were employed in the Geographic Information System, which is highly capable of managing and analyzing various data. Moreover, the analysis hierarchical process method is used to derive the weighting of the criteria by using a pair comparison matrix. The weighted overlay tool is then used to obtain a map of the relevance index for selected landfill sites. Seven suitable sites for landfills are selected for each region.
