Guarantees for The Protection of Human Rights in The Iraqi Legal System

Abstract

The issue of human rights has become one of the topics of great
importance in everything proposed or issued by the international
community. Enabling individuals to exercise their rights is often
linked to the stability of security and internal or external peace.
Therefore, it has become obligatory for the state to give human rights
a status. It is similar to its importance, and there is no way for it but
to establish real guarantees for its practice, whether constitutional
guarantees or in ordinary legislation within the state, and to work to
enable its practice and protection and not restrict it by others or even
by the authority, except for the requirements of the public interest or
to preserve the rights of others and the issue of Including human
rights in constitutions or ordinary legislation provides them with a
certain amount of protection required, especially in the constitution.
Due to the superiority and supremacy of the constitutional text over
the rest of the texts of legislation, there is no room left for the state to renounce its obligations towards enabling individuals to exercise
their rights, in addition to its obligations towards the international
community in accordance with international agreements, which
requires it to harmonize the texts contained in these agreements with
the internal legislative texts. All of this gives broad momentum to
adopt stronger human rights guarantees.
