Europe to discuss the formation of an international tribunal in Iraq to try foreigners urged
Editorial date: 2019/6/7 10:42 • 84 times scheduled
(AFP) - French Justice Minister Nicole Beloube said on Wednesday that she had discussed with European countries the "hypothesis" of forming an international court in Iraq to try foreign terrorists in a sympathetic organization.
"This is a hypothesis put forward at the European level with a number of my colleagues, ministers of interior and justice," Beloube said in a statement to Radio Monte Carlo. "These discussions are taking place within the framework of the Vendome Group, which includes the German, Spanish and Italian justice ministers.
Eleven French nationals arrested in Syria and tried in Iraq for belonging to an advocacy organization were sentenced to death, sparking sharp criticism in France, especially by lawyers specializing in criminal cases.
The Justice Minister stressed that this court is only a "working hypothesis".
She added that this "international tribunal" will be established "in place, not in Syria most likely, perhaps in Iraq," noting that it can work with the participation of "European, French and Iraqi judges."
But she mentioned a number of "difficulties", adding "the approval of the Iraqi state must be obtained, and conditions be put forward, especially the death penalty requirement to be banned."
"The establishment of this type of court always takes a little time," she said.
"We have repeatedly told the Iraqi state that the death penalty can not be applied," Beloube said.
"There are discussions going on ... we are keen not to carry out the death penalty to the people we bear responsibility for," she said

News on the presentation of Abdul Mahdi, the resignation of the House of Representatives after the Eid al-Fitr
2019/6/6 17:13
[Baghdad-where]
In a news item published by an Arab newspaper, a source close to the office of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi revealed the latter's intention to submit his resignation to the Iraqi Council of Representatives.
The source said that the prime minister is unable to complete his cabinet because of political differences between his two main supporters, the leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr and the head of the Fatah alliance Hadi al-Amiri.
According to the source, "the current differences between political entities deeper than envisaged by the Iraqi people." He said, for the "new Arab", "Sadr has set a red line on any candidate from the Fatah Alliance of the Interior Ministry, and may announce Sadr in the coming days to reject any candidate from the conquest, which includes the factions of the popular crowd. Hadi al-Amiri learned of this, and may go to choose an unqualified candidate for his Fatah alliance.
The source added that "the Sadr is the one who leads the current political process, which is a former rejection of Fayadh is not eligible for the post of Minister of the Interior, because it is supported by Iran and the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria," pointing out that "the Ministry of Defense is also a node of disagreement and disruption, The fabrication of many problems and pressure on Abdul Mahdi to get the Ministry of Defense .. And will face the process of passing the remaining ministries difficult.
In the opinion of the observer and expert on the Iraqi political affairs Abdul Qadir Nayel that "the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi, could not after 200 days of completing the formation of its government; and is unable to move from the state to the state; making them fail to provide any work that successfully advances and relieves the Iraqi people, Continuing at the level of health and education and high unemployment. "
"After all the corruption that gnaws at the body of Iraq, Adel Abdul Mahdi came out with the establishment of a body, staff and salaries to combat corruption, and this is an escape from accounting for the corrupt. After 200 days, the problems of Iraq widen and accompanied by an increase in government failure and parliamentary paralyzed and the situation of detainees and displaced people Before Iraqi youth are increasingly leaving Iraq. "
Although the prime minister was the first to set this deadline when voting on his government last October, but some political blocs quickly adopted the situation and threatened to dismiss the government after 200 days of its inauguration in the event of failure in its tasks.
The security expert, Ahmad al-Sharifi, that the failure to resolve the portfolios of defense and interior negatively impacted the security situation in the Iraqi provinces, especially Nineveh, Anbar, Babylon and Baghdad after he raised his head again by launching some armed attacks.
"The positive point after 200 days of the government of Adel Abdul-Mahdi, is the lifting of concrete barriers inside the capital Baghdad, which eased the pressure on the Iraqi citizen and also dealt a heavy blow to the activity of advocacy."
He pointed out that "the Iraqi provinces are still suffering a lot because of the absence of the direct role of the Ministries of Defense and Interior, which helped to encourage the resumption of activity again in some cities."
On the other hand, Iraqi officials and observers are talking about the return of a number of familiar faces within the political work in the country again with new positions. Although this is not a surprise or a new event for the Iraqi street, but it confirms the decline of Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi and the political blocs of the slogans that preceded the pre-election, the "untested experiment," and "the government of technocrats," considering that the nominations Of the positions is tantamount to a declaration that political forces have completely renounced their previous promises to the street.
Over the past years, the process of recycling faces that the Iraqis have not received has been shattered by the promises made by Abdul Mahdi, who, in his first speech after being elected president, confirmed to the House of Representatives that he would fight corruption and terrorism but change the political process to suit the aspirations of the people. Iraqi youth, by the other hand. But the government's choice of al-Dabbagh and al-Janabi has prompted Iraqis to question the possibility of returning names they have long mocked, such as Mowaffaq al-Rubaie, Hanan al-Fatlawi and other names who did not win the last parliamentary elections in May 2018.
On Wednesday evening, October 25, 2018, the Iraqi parliament voted on 14 of the 22 ministries nominated by Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.
After parliament voted on more than half of the ministerial cabin, Adel Abdul Mahdi was sworn in as prime minister.
