Parliament Speaker Al-Mashhadani Stresses Iraq’s Dedication to Judicial Integrity and Democratic Values

Baghdad, Iraq- Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani emphasized on Wednesday that Iraq is experiencing a true and practical application of democratic principles, noting that all individuals and institutions are bound by judicial decisions issued by the Federal Court.

During a visit to the Federal Supreme Court, Al-Mashhadani met with the Court’s President, Jassim Al-Amiri, to discuss matters related to the legislation of laws within the legal and constitutional frameworks.

Al-Mashhadani reiterated that the Iraqi judiciary is viewed as a crucial safeguard and a protective umbrella for all Iraqis, with everyone committed to upholding the decisions made by the court.
