The consortium is formed of 14 partners from 11 source, transit and destination countries and is coordinated by Uppsala University in Sweden. The main aim of this Europe-wide project is to provide an in-depth understanding of the governance of recent mass migration at macro, meso and micro levels through cross-country comparative research and to critically analyse governance practices with the aim of enhancing the migration governance capacity and policy coherence of the EU, its member states and third countries. RESPOND analyses migration governance through a narrative which is constructed along five thematic fields: (1) Border management and security, (2) Refugee protection regimes, (3) Reception policies, (4) Integration policies, and (5) Conflicting Europeanization. Each thematic field is reflecting a juncture in the migration journey of refugees and designed to provide a holistic view of policies, their impacts and responses given by affected actors within. In order to better focus on these themes, we divided our research question into work packages (WPs). The present report is concerned with the findings related to WP3, which focuses specifically on asylum procedures and refugee protection. 7 Executive Summary This report is a study of the conditions of asylum seekers and refugees in Iraq, as well as covering data and scenarios on internally displaced persons, with regard to international protection and other types of protection, and knowledge of the extent of its adaptation to regional and international agreements, instruments and treaties related to the protection of refugees and everything related to human rights and protecting it. In this context, the scope of the report can be summarized as follows: • The legal, institutional and political framework regarding asylum seekers and refugees in relation to international protection, and it covers the limits of this protection for the period between 2011 and 2017. • The report presents perceptions, experiences and strategies facing actors at the micro and meso levels, in other words, policy implementers and policy beneficiaries in relation to international protection. • Policies to implement international protection and its implications, procedures, difficulties and problems, based on the field work carried out by the working group in Iraq through meetings with asylum seekers, refugees and displaced persons. • The nature of the work and coordination between governmental and non-governmental institutions and other actors that deal with international protection and the extent of their success in assigning work, coordination and cooperation, and the problems arising between these relevant bodies. • Providing solutions and recommendations within the framework of policies and best practices at the national and local levels. Therefore, the objectives of this report (WP3) can be summarized as follows: • Analyzing the international approach for asylum procedures and refugee protection, and the extent of their implementation and impact in Iraq. • Providing analysis based on analysis of macro-level encounters based on (WP1 national report) and micro-and intermediate (Meso) level analyzes through fieldwork. • Explaining and evaluating international protection systems at the national and local levels. • Analyzing the actors at the Meso-level, perceptions, actions and reactions of refugees and displaced persons to asylum procedures and policies and refugee protection. 8 1. Introduction The report aims to shed light on the international national protection of Iraq since the international community started to conclude international and regional agreements in this regard. The report also attempts to show the extent of Iraq’s commitment to the provisions of laws, customs and international agreements regarding refugees after it became a destination for them, especially in the period between 2011- 2017, as it received more than 250,000 Syrian refugees1. The number of Turkish refugees of Kurdish origin reaches 11,500, while Iranian refugees reach 8,500, and most of them are of Kurdish origin as well.2 Iraq has yet to legislate a law specific to refugees (humanitarian asylum) (Law No. 51 of 1971 on political asylum does not include provisions that include humanitarian asylum) despite the large numbers of refugees residing in it, especially from Syria, as mentioned above. The report questions whether Iraq has been able to provide adequate protection for refugees and to what extent was Iraq able to adapt its laws and legislations in accordance with the rules of international law and other international and regional standards, despite its limited experience in welcoming large numbers of refugees within a very short period? The report also seeks to reflect on the national protection in Iraq for internally displaced persons, especially since Iraq witnessed armed conflict in many cities and regions, especially in the years of 2005-2007, as well as exposure to violence and terrorism during the past ten years that affected

The British Government points out, in the above-mentioned letter, that the publication of the document in question was necessitated by the discovery of considerable discrepancies between the Arabic text of the Organic Law, as passed by the ‘Iraq Constituent Assembly in July 1924, and the English translation which was communicated to the Secretariat in 1924. The British Government adds that the new text embodies the modifications introduced by the Organic Law Amendment Law, 1925,2 and was approved by the ‘Iraq Government as superseding all translations of the law hitherto published.

    And Property Law: the Iraqi Civil Code and Its Compatibility with International Standards for the Treatment of Displaced Persons

    Of “Principles” and Property Law: The Iraqi Civil Code and its Compatibility with International Standards for the Treatment of Displaced Persons Dan E. Stigall∗ A recent report by Refugees International notes that Iraq is currently faced with one of the most acute displacement crises in the world, with over 5 million Iraqis displaced by violence – 2.7 million of whom are internally displaced within Iraq.1 Such a situation creates not only a humanitarian crisis but also a perverse opportunity for insurgents and militia groups to exploit the displacement crisis in order to legitimate themselves and achieve geo-political goals.2 It is critical, therefore, to find adequate remedies for displaced persons and forge a sustainable, long-term solution to the ongoing displacement crisis. It is equally important to find remedies and mechanisms for restitution that comport with international standards. Those standards are not the easiest to discern as there is no comprehensive treaty setting forth all the rights and obligations owed by states vis-à-vis displaced persons. As a result, one must look to numerous other instruments such as the ∗ Dan E. Stigall is a U.S. Army Judge Advocate (JAG). J.D., 2000, Louisiana State University Paul M.

As scholars have called this period of uncertainty 'cross roads' 1, this event calls for a precise legal analysis. As a student of International Law I find it irresistible to undertake an in- depth research on this phenomenon.

  • Iraq and the "Fog of Law"

    Iraq and the "Fog of Law"

    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen II Iraq and the “Fog of Law” John F. Murphy* he conference “The War in Iraq: A Legal Analysis,” from which this volume Tderives, covered a variety of topics and a plethora of legal issues. It was fol- lowed by a workshop consisting of moderators of the various panels, panelists and commentators with a view to continuing the dialogue begun at the conference. As a commentator at the conference,1 this author was struck not only by the large num- ber of controversial issues arising out of the conflict in Iraq, but also by the ab- sence of clear resolution of many of these issues, both at the conference and in the wider world outside of the conference, hence my choice of the “fog of law” as part of the title of this article.2 By the “fog of law,” I mean not only the debate over the law as it was interpreted and applied in Iraq; but also the issue of what law applied—national law, especially the law of Iraq; the law of armed conflict (or, as preferred by some, “international humanitarian law”); the law of the United Nations Charter, including Security Council resolutions adopted under Chapter VII; or no law at all.3 Although the first panel of the conference was titled “Legal Bases for Military Operations in Iraq,” and Andru Wall presented a defense of the legality of the March 2003 invasion of Iraq and the removal of the Saddam Hussein regime from power,4 this topic was not a primary focus of the conference.

(Signature) 1 Abstract In 1991, following its defeat in the Second Gulf War and as a response to the international humanitarian protectionist umbrella provided to the three Kurdish- population governorates in Northern Iraq, the Government of Iraq (GOI) under Saddam Hussein centrally seceded from the area. The vacuum that ensued was soon filled by the leadership of the Iraqi Kurdistan Front (KNA) and soon a de facto state resurrected from the ashes of destruction besieging Iraqi Kurdistan for many decades. Hence, the precarious existence of what came to be known as the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) in a highly challenging geopolitical environment and the strategic imperative of preserving the de facto independence of the entity forced the Kurdish leadership to give high priority to building foreign relations and pursuit of foreign policy. Foreign policy as a political activity is of paramount importance to all actors including sovereign states to preserve and promote their national interests.

    The Limitations of the Consociational Arrangements in Iraq Eduardo Abu Ltaif

    Ethnopolitics Papers September 2015| No. 38 The Limitations of the Consociational Arrangements in Iraq Eduardo Abu Ltaif University of Otago E-mail address for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract The political crises in Iraq following the American invasion have triggered the need to revisit the power sharing arrangements established in the constitution and practised at the level of the political system. Since Iraq is a deeply divided society, consociationalism has been the main force of political reconstruction after the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003. However, the Iraqi constitution and the political system lack genuine consociational practices. The aim of this paper is to study the limitations of the consociational arrangements and offer prescriptions that may help ameliorate the challenges facing the fragile political system. The political system will be analysed within the framework of consociationalism and power sharing agreements. Two of Lijphart’s four conditions are absent in the consociational arrangements in Iraq: grand coalition and mutual veto, while two other characteristics of consociationalism, proportionality and autonomy, are strongly present but are not enough to preserve stability.
