Status of the Rule of Law in Iraq and KRI (Newsletter | Issue 1)
IOL & NPA · April 2026
Abstract
This quarterly newsletter highlights key developments across the justice and rule-of-law sectors in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region during early 2026. It provides focused analysis on major institutional initiatives—including the launch of the National Rule of Law Strategy (2025–2029) and the establishment of the civil society network "Maff"—alongside practical examinations of Iraq’s position in international justice indices, lingering constitutional hurdles in governance and cabinet formation, and the legal discourse surrounding the definition of the largest parliamentary bloc.
