Judicial guarantees of the right to decent work in Iraqi legislation

Abstract

The judiciary has a major role in protecting the right to decent
work in Iraq through the presence of the Federal Supreme Court,
which is responsible for monitoring the constitutionality of laws
issued by the legislative authority. In addition to this court, there is
the Labor Court, which seeks to monitor the application of the
provisions of social laws related to workers (the Labor Law and the
Labor Law). Retirement and social security for workers), as the
presence of these two courts is an important guarantee in protecting
workers’ rights by enabling them to enjoy the right to work, as
judicial guarantees are considered one of the effective types of
guarantees to protect human rights and public freedoms, including
the right to decent work. Among this oversight is the judicial
oversight of the constitutionality of laws, as it is considered one of the
vital and important means of providing guarantees to protect rights from any violation or transgression by the authorities in the state.
Constitutions often assign this type of oversight to special
constitutional courts, and in addition to this type of courts there are
also Courts specialized in labor cases, responsible for adjudicating
various labor issues that may arise between employers on the one
hand and workers on the other hand. Or between them and the
government agencies concerned with labor issues. We see in these
two types of courts an important judicial guarantee that can be
resorted to by workers and employers whenever a dispute arises
between them regarding issues related to labor issues.
