The authority responsible for resolving federal issues in the Iraqi Constitution of 2005

Abstract

The world at the beginning of the (21) century seems to be in the midst of a transformation of the prevailing patterns of governance from a world of sovereign nation-states to a world in which the sovereignty of the nation-state is diminishing and federal constitutional ties between states are increasing. There are approximately (25) states that include more than (40%) of the world's population that have federal characteristics, also called federalism, treaty, central union, federation, etc. If our world is heading towards a global state tomorrow to avoid the chaos prevailing now, it will certainly head towards achieving this goal through the federal system because federalism is an advanced and just formula for relations between national, religious, sectarian and linguistic ethnicities. It achieves two contradictory goals, which are unity and diversity, or union and independence at the same time, i.e. union in one state and the autonomy of the states, or in other words, protecting the general and common interests between all the states and regions of the federal state and protecting the purely self-interests of the states and local regions. It maintains the unity of the political entity of the state and prevents its fragmentation, and at the same time satisfies the specificities of its states or local regions. The truth is that the United Nations is the seed of a global federal state.

The research aimed to reveal the concept of the federal state as well as to clarify the authority responsible for resolving federal cases.

To achieve the research, the researcher defined the general concepts of the research in the first section, while the second section dealt with the authority responsible for resolving federal cases. The research concluded with a conclusion that included the results and recommendations of the research.
