With the development that the world has witnessed in light of the modern industrial revolution, some issues have emerged. It was not known before, including cross-border environmental pollution, cross-border environmental damage, and civil liability arising from it. Just as cross-border environmental pollution raises great risks to the environment in general and causes heavy damage to people, from here the jurisprudential and judicial trends emerged in the search for the appropriate legal basis. To confront the harms of transboundary environmental pollution, what the prevailing opinion has settled on is the inability of tort liability in The traditional rules regarding the establishment of an environmental civil liability system remain facing the risks of environmental pollution, which appears from the general rules in the amended Iraqi Civil Law No. (40) of 1951, as well as in light of the special rules contained in the Iraqi Federal Law for the Protection and Improvement of the Environment No. (27) of the year 2009, and the Kurdistan Environmental Protection and Improvement Law No. (8) of 2008, and some environmental legislation has decided that the appropriate legal basis for environmental civil liability lies in objective responsibility that suffices with damage without relying on the element of fault, such as Kuwaiti environmental law, but nevertheless It seems that this issue has not yet been resolved, and this is largely due to one reason, which is the special nature of cross-border environmental damage.To deal with cases of cross-border environmental damage, the injured person relies on the rules of civil liability to redress the damage he suffers, and from here a fundamental problem arises, which is the extent to which these rules are compatible with redressing environmental damage if we take into account that cross-border environmental damage represents a modern concept that may not be compatible with the rules of law. Traditional. Hence the importance of the research. In this research, we addressed the problem of the legal basis for civil liability arising from cross-border environmental damage and the elements of that responsibility. We discussed this topic in two sections. In the first section we dealt with the concept of cross-border environmental damage, and in the second section we dealt with the legal basis for civil liability resulting from it. On transboundary environmental pollution and the difficulties surrounding it,Then we reviewed the most important results and recommendations that we reached in this research.</strong></p> 2024-11-30T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Zanco Journal of Law and Politics گۆڤاری زانكۆ بۆ یاساورامیاری https://zancojournal.su.edu.krd/index.php/JLP/article/view/3022 Criminal protection for hermaphrodites within the scope of crimes against morals and public morals -An analytical study- 2024-10-27T22:17:02+03:00 Massoud Ismaiel [email protected] Vian Faroq [email protected] <p><strong> God Almighty created man into two distinct of human beings, and his sex is determined by what appears from his condition, as it is the basic criterion for determining the sex of man: either a male, which has male sexual and physical organs, or a female, which has female sexual and physical organs, and He distinguished each type with moral and psychological characteristics that distinguish it.

This achieves many benefits, including protecting the environment from pollution resulting from the use of fuel to operate generators, and preserving human health. It also achieves an economic benefit by saving huge amounts spent by the state to import electricity from abroad, as Iraq enjoys a concentration of solar radiation for long months during the seasons of the year. This energy can be invested by the state negotiating with specialized national or foreign companies. The state participates in this investment by reducing customs duties on importing solar energy strips by generator owners, and the state imports them and sells them to them at a subsidized price, or grants a privilege to private sector companies to invest to achieve a goal, which is to generate electricity for the citizen.</strong></p> 2024-11-30T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Zanco Journal of Law and Politics گۆڤاری زانكۆ بۆ یاساو رامیاری https://zancojournal.su.edu.krd/index.php/JLP/article/view/2779 Protecting biodiversity to ensure future generations' rights 2024-10-05T19:16:39+03:00 sivan mesrob [email protected] <p><strong>National constitutions adopt the explicit provision at the heart of the constitutional document on the protection of biodiversity as an important and vital necessity. The Constitution's determination of such protection leads to attention to State resources and natural wealth and creates a balanced environment in order to realize the principle of sustainable development, reflecting the idea of preserving the rights of future generations. Some States, including Iraq, have failed to establish a special legal regime guaranteeing special protection of biodiversity in all its aspects. Although this protection is explicitly provided for in the 2005 Constitution, it fails to refer the order regulating such protection to the ordinary legislator under an enacted law, to rely on the 2009 Environmental Protection Act and to address some relevant laws that have not sufficiently highlighted weaknesses and imbalances in Iraq's environmental laws and legislation to provide legislative protection for biodiversity. One of the most important recommendations was the ordinary legislator's call for a law on the protection of biodiversity, which would include all provisions, legal norms relating to the protection of biodiversity components and appropriate methods and mechanisms for the protection of its components through the establishment and care of natural reserves for the conservation of plant and animal natural resources and environmental balance, which would guarantee the rights of future generations. </strong></p> 2024-11-30T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Zanco Journal of Law and Politics گۆڤاری زانكۆ بۆ یاساو رامیاری https://zancojournal.su.edu.krd/index.php/JLP/article/view/2798 The constitutionality of reducing the penalty for perpetrators of honor killings 2024-10-08T17:15:29+03:00 Adnan Obaid [email protected] Shorsh Omar [email protected] <p><strong>The texts of some legislation grant advantages to men that they do not grant to women, such as granting a man a privilege related to his commission of a crime punishable by law, but the penalty is reduced or he is exempted from it even though the act committed is directed against the woman herself.

At the conclusion of the research, we concluded that the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq of 2005 has a civil identity, and that Article 409 is an unconstitutional text because it violates the principle of equality and women’s right to life.

This system has enabled the federal (central) and Kurdistan Region powers to have legislative, executive and judicial authorities. The main function of the Iraqi Council of Representatives (Parliament) is to enact federal laws. Similarly, the Kurdistan Parliament has the right to enact laws and amend federal laws, except on matters within the exclusive authorities of the federal government. The problem of this study lies in the fact that there are several laws previously in force in Iraq, but were later annulled by the Iraqi Council of Representatives through the enactment of new laws; Despite their annulment, due to the pretext of not enacting implementation laws for the new laws, the annulled laws continue to be implemented in the Kurdistan Region. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the extent of the legitimacy of the Iraqi laws’ applicability that have been annulled by the Iraqi Council of Representatives but are still in force in the Kurdistan Region, as well as presenting some of the private laws related to this issue. This study based on analytical and empirical methods, concludes that the constitutional articles and provisions relevant to the subject of our research lack clarity and fail to entirely resolve this problem. Consequently, in terms of practice, a legal and jurisprudential conflict emerges, wherein the Kurdistan Region legitimizes the applicability of annulled laws, while Iraqi federal authorities deny the legitimacy of them and advocate for the implementation of new laws, deemed more logical and constitutional.</strong></p> 2024-11-30T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Zanco Journal of Law and Politics گۆڤاری زانكۆ بۆ یاساو رامیاری https://zancojournal.su.edu.krd/index.php/JLP/article/view/2821 Transition to Electronic Government The Kurdistan Regional Government - Iraq as a model 2024-10-11T13:05:50+03:00 Shalaw Abdulrahman [email protected] <p><strong>In a world that is increasingly electronically interconnected and with a wider spread of the Internet, governments have become more employing information and communications technology and the Internet in order to enhance government efficiency and benefit from electronic services by citizens.

Tracing back to the time of the enactment of the 1984 law of commerce no.(30) and the other collateral laws that had been subjected to a specific legislative policy which was in core a state-oriented policy, we can get into the mainstays and pillars of those laws and dissect the legislative idea, philosophy and imprint of those who laid down the rules of those laws. Sticking to the legislative policy would reveal that the research explores the ideas, intellect and philosophy that override the whole law. Moreover, the research would scrutinize the nature of the legislative policy under the current reality of Iraqi economy.</strong></p> <p><strong>The research problem is to weigh and guess how far the legislative policy behind the Iraqi commercial laws is compatible, sufficient and suitable with the current reality of Iraqi economy ,taking into account the new legal trends and advancements in the room of commercial law. </strong></p> <p><strong>In performing the current research paper the researcher has conducted an analytical method as he opts to stick to the Iraqi legal system and just to analyze and explain the legal situation of Iraqi laws and regulations, going far beyond the formality of the relevant provisions and articles, so as to extract the features of the legislative policy latent behind them.</strong></p> <p><strong>The main findings of this research paper can be summarized in some basic points. First of all is the centrality and importance of the legislative policy and its role as an essential part of the commercial laws. Second, the legislative policy varies between the general law of commerce no. (30) of 1984 and other private commercial laws; in the former it is rater a state-oriented policy,whereas in the second it is a market-oriented policy. Third, the positivism, beside the centrality, is the main driving force of the legislative policy for the General law of commerce of 1984. Finally, Iraqi law of commerce of 1984 is marked by shortcoming and insufficiencies, and some other private laws need amendments and change. Finally we have recommended to amend the commercial acts,the sources of commercial law, and some aspects of Iraqi trademark law. In addition to that ae recommended legal revitalization of the private sector.</strong></p> <p><strong>The research has focused on how to set forth the general nature of the laws at issue and how far they could be labeled as a well-developed or underdeveloped law. In addition to that, the research has explored the adaptability of those laws under the rapid and widescale economic and legal developments throughout the world which deeply influenced Iraqi legal system. </strong></p> 2024-11-30T00:00:00+03:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Zanco Journal of Law and Politics گۆڤاری زانكۆ بۆ یاساو رامیاری https://zancojournal.su.edu.krd/index.php/JLP/article/view/2775 International humanitarian law, human rights and the role of the legislator and the judiciary in addressing contemporary challenges 2024-10-05T12:47:13+03:00 Yassir Shaaban [email protected] <p><strong>International humanitarian law, also known as the law of armed conflict, is a branch of public international law, as its customary and conventional rules aim to protect victims of armed conflicts.
