Judicial Transition and Controversies: Iraq's Supreme Court in Focus

  • Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council announced on Sunday that Chief Justice Jassim Mohammed Abboud Al-Amiri retired for health reasons and nominated Judge Munther Ibrahim Hussein as his successor.
  • Al-Amiri's retirement follows a wave of at least nine judges resigning amid disputes over political interference and court rulings, creating concerns about the court's stability.
  • In September 2023, the court invalidated the legislation that approved the Iraq-Kuwait maritime agreement, leading to diplomatic tensions and prompting legal challenges from Iraq's president and prime minister.
  • Ali Al-Tamimi highlighted that the court is currently facing challenges due to internal administrative problems and potential political influence, adding that normal operations could resume if the judges who resigned were to return.
  • Judge Hussein's appointment restores a quorum allowing the court to convene sessions and potentially certify the scheduled November 11 elections amid ongoing political tensions.
