Jurisdiction of the Courts in Iraqi Legislation

and provisions stipulated in the Constitution. Violation of the rules of jurisdiction
is the first aspect of the formality of monitoring the constitutionality of legislation,
as jurisdiction is one of the most important elements on which the general law is
based, which means the rules that determine the persons or bodies that have the
authority to conclude public actions, and accordingly, lack of jurisdiction means
the inability to Undertaking a certain legal act because the legislator made it the
authority of another body or individual.
