Ali Zuweid's Parliamentary Programme · PARL-03
Charter of Parliamentary Representation, Transparency and Accountability to Citizens
This charter is an accountable public compact. It sets out how I will exercise parliamentary representation if I become a member of the Council of Representatives, how my office will work with citizens, what it will publish, what it will not do, and how an individual complaint or recurring problem becomes institutional follow-up, oversight or legislative action within constitutional powers.
The governing principle is that an MP represents the Iraqi people as a whole, and proximity to the constituency does not make the MP a local executive official, an appointments broker or a distributor of benefits. Serving citizens here means opening an organized lawful route from information to the institution, then sharing as much of the outcome as possible with the public.
1. Nature and function of the charter
Parliamentary representation is neither a relationship of personal services between an MP and a voter nor authorization for the MP to replace a ministry, governorate or municipal department. Equally, it is not work detached from people. This charter organizes the space between those extremes: citizens provide information, accountability and public priorities, while the MP uses the constitutional position to translate that information into legislation, oversight and institutional political representation.
I will treat this charter as a published standard for my parliamentary conduct, rather than a general description of what Parliament should do. Every commitment within my personal ability will be framed directly. Anything requiring a committee, a number of MPs or a Council of Representatives decision will be presented as a process I pursue whose outcome I cannot impose alone.
Citizens do not need an MP promising to be a miniature minister; they need an MP who listens, documents their case, directs it through the lawful channel, uses parliamentary instruments when needed, and returns with a clear outcome even when that outcome is that the request falls outside the MP's remit or lacks a legal basis.
2. Constitutional and legal basis
The charter begins from an express constitutional rule: members of the Council of Representatives represent the entire Iraqi people. I therefore regard the constituency not as the boundary of the national interest, but as a principal channel of direct contact revealing the effects of policies and laws on citizens. The constitutional oath also obliges a Council member to safeguard the people's interests, protect public and private freedoms, and comply with legislation faithfully and impartially.
The Constitution separates powers and gives the Council of Representatives legislative and executive-oversight functions. The Council of Representatives and Its Formations Law and rules of procedure add rules on official correspondence, attendance, non-use of membership for private benefit, committee work, and requests for information and documents under applicable procedures. Representation must therefore not become issuing executive orders or managing government departments outside their lawful hierarchy.
Jurisdiction rule
For every request or complaint, I will first ask: Is this a matter of representation, oversight or legislation, or a purely executive transaction? If executive, the office's role is guidance, referral, lawful follow-up and identifying any general failing, rather than replacing the competent official or pressuring them to grant an exceptional privilege.
3. Principles governing parliamentary representation
- Public interest before individual benefit: I listen to individual requests but do not use parliamentary authority to give someone what they are not legally entitled to.
- Equal access: A case does not move ahead because its owner is a relative, supporter or influential person, nor fall behind because it concerns a political opponent or a citizen without connections.
- National representation: National priority does not remove responsibility towards the constituency, but prevents a seat from becoming geographic or sectional property.
- Separation of representation from implementation: The office follows up, asks questions, corresponds, analyses and scrutinizes; the executive authority implements within its powers.
- Impact before performance: Success is not measured by a photograph of a letter or visit, but by a clear process, outcome and institutional learning.
- Evidence before accusation: I do not turn a complaint into a public accusation before checking basic facts and documents, or use an MP's platform for defamation.
- Transparency with respect for privacy: I publish the office's activities and my decisions and reasons, not visitors' data or sensitive details to embellish a performance record.
- Citizens' right to criticize: Criticism of my performance will not reduce a complaint's priority or close a communication channel.
4. Limits of an MP's role: what my office will and will not do
This distinction is the practical barrier between serving citizens and favouritism or encroachment on executive authority. A parliamentary office is not a parallel government 'transactions department', but neither is it a passive mailbox.
| What my parliamentary office will do | What my parliamentary office will not do |
|---|---|
| Receive complaints, observations and proposals and give them a tracking number. | It will not promise completion of a transaction merely because the MP intervenes. |
| Verify the competent authority and lawful route, requesting only the minimum necessary documents from the applicant. | It will not collect unnecessary data or documents, or retain citizens' original documents except for a clear, temporary necessity. |
| Provide guidance, refer or correspond with the competent authority through applicable channels and procedures. | It will not issue orders to executive employees or dictate an unlawful outcome to a transaction. |
| Follow unjustified delay or refusal and turn recurring patterns into oversight cases. | It will not pressure officials to bypass queues, waive general requirements or grant unlawful personal exemptions. |
| Group similar complaints to identify general legal or administrative failings. | It will not turn every individual complaint into a media crisis or political confrontation. |
| Present a general gap to the competent committee or through a legislative process where changing the law is warranted. | It will not claim that an individual MP can enact a law or compel the Council to vote on it. |
| Explain the outcome to the citizen even when adverse or outside the office's remit. | It will not offer false hopes or leave a file open without explanation merely to suggest activity. |
| Publish aggregate data on types of cases and outcomes without identifying the people concerned. | It will not use applicants' data for publicity, political mobilization or electoral targeting. |
I will not promise to appoint a person, transfer an employee, award a project or contract, provide a plot of land, allocate a benefit, cancel a fine or change a legal outcome by personal decision. If a citizen has a clear right obstructed by an authority, that right must be protected through legal and oversight channels, rather than through a parallel privilege.
5. The parliamentary office system
The parliamentary office will be an organized contact point between citizens and legislative and oversight work. I will administratively separate public reception, case management, research and policy, and media and publication, reducing conflicting roles and making every case traceable.
5.1 Access channels
- In-person reception during published hours.
- An official digital channel for complaints and proposals and receipt of a tracking number.
- Official email for institutions, experts and professional bodies.
- Dedicated listening appointments for matters requiring more time or greater confidentiality.
- An alternative mechanism for people unable to use digital channels.
5.2 Internal service standards
I commit to issuing an initial acknowledgment within three working days where sufficient contact details are available, and to initial classification within seven working days. If the case remains open, periodic status updates will be provided no more than thirty days apart, unless the case's nature or confidentiality requires otherwise.
5.3 Reference number and case record
Every case suitable for follow-up receives a reference number that does not reveal its owner's identity. The internal record contains only the minimum information needed: subject, competent authority, receipt date, referral status, last action, expected update date and outcome. Applicants' political, religious or social affiliations are not recorded unless they form an essential part of a legal fact the applicant personally requests to have documented.
6. Receiving complaints and classifying cases
Requests are not all handled identically. Early classification prevents wasted time, identifies the correct instrument and prevents the office from becoming a clearinghouse for administrative transactions.
| Category | Description | Usual route | Expected output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual guidance or referral | A transaction or right with an existing competent authority and process. | Identify the authority and requirements, refer or correspond where needed, and follow up on unjustified delay. | Clear guidance, a documented referral or an official answer. |
| Complaint about an administrative failing | Delay, refusal, inconsistent procedures or irregular application. | Gather facts, verify the rule, request an explanation or refer to the appropriate oversight body. | Correction of a case, an explanation or initiation of oversight. |
| Recurring pattern | Several similar cases revealing a broader problem. | Anonymized aggregation, root-cause analysis and submission of an oversight case or referral to the competent committee. | Institutional remedy, recommendation or procedural amendment. |
| Legislative gap | The problem arises from an omission, conflict or ambiguity in the law. | Legal study, consultation, referral to the legislative package or work with the committee/MPs. | An amendment proposal or a considered legislative process. |
| Allegation of corruption or crime | Information potentially requiring investigation by a competent authority. | Preserve evidence, avoid premature publication and refer to the competent legal or oversight authority. | A documented referral, not a predetermined judgment. |
| Outside jurisdiction | A request for which neither the MP nor the Council of Representatives has a lawful instrument. | Explain why and provide guidance to a possible route if one exists. | Reasoned closure, not an open-ended promise. |
| Urgent safety case | Immediate risk to a person's life or security. | Immediate guidance to the police, emergency services or competent authority, with follow-up as circumstances allow. | Rapid transfer to the competent authority, not emergency management by the office. |
6.1 Follow-up priority standard
Priority does not belong to the best-connected or most vocal. Cases are ranked using a combination of risk of harm, impact on a fundamental right, an approaching legal deadline, number affected, potential recurrence, a vulnerable group and the availability of a clear parliamentary route. Priority does not guarantee an outcome.
7. Privacy and protection of visitors' data
A parliamentary complaint may contain health, financial, employment, family or security information. I therefore treat data protection as central to representation, not a peripheral technical measure. This rests on constitutional protection of privacy and communications and a voluntary commitment to more cautious standards for collecting, using and publishing data.
Data rules within the office
- Data minimization: We request only what is necessary to understand, refer or follow up the case.
- Purpose limitation: Complaint data are not reused for electoral, commercial or publicity purposes.
- Need-to-know confidentiality: Only those whose duties require the file may access it.
- Restricted sharing: A citizen's complete documents are not sent to an authority where a summary or specific portion would suffice.
- Anonymized publication: General statistics remove names, identifiers and clues revealing the person, unless the person concerned requests publication and it is lawful and appropriate.
- Access security: Official accounts, access controls, controlled backups and an administrative-permissions register are used.
- Correction: Applicants may request correction of their basic data or an update to their contact method.
- Limited retention: Closed files are reviewed periodically and detailed data removed when no legal or oversight need remains for retention, while anonymized statistical data are kept.
I will not publish an applicant's name or images of their documents as 'proof of achievement' without a clear justification and express consent where consent is the appropriate basis. Nor will applicant lists be used to build political mobilization databases.
8. From complaint to institutional action
The purpose is not to increase the number of official letters, but to create a traceable process. I will therefore use a consistent cycle beginning with facts and ending with an outcome or reasoned closure.
8.1 When does a problem become an oversight case?
When indications of a general pattern emerge: repeated complaints, growing numbers affected, systematic inconsistency in applying the law, unexplained public expenditure, chronic delay, absence of published criteria, or repeated refusal to provide information needed for parliamentary work. The issue then ceases to be an individual's case and becomes a question about institutional or policy performance, moving to the oversight instruments detailed in PARL-01 | Parliamentary Oversight and Accountability Programme.
8.2 When does it become a legislative process?
If the problem arises not only from poor implementation but from an incomplete, conflicting or outdated provision, it is studied as a legislative gap. The law is not rewritten within this charter; where a relevant file exists, the matter is connected to Ali Zuweid's legislative package, recognizing that submission of a legislative proposal by Council members is subject to constitutional numerical and procedural requirements.
8.3 Correspondence and documents
I will use official correspondence within applicable powers and procedures, distinguishing representative correspondence clarifying a case or right from requests for documents or oversight action that may be governed by special rules or committee work. Where procedures require a committee channel, notification of the Council's Presidency or protection of document confidentiality, I will comply rather than expand an individual MP's authority through personal interpretation.
9. Consultation and public hearings
Waiting for complaints is not enough. On major issues, I will use organized meetings to draw on society's knowledge before taking positions, while avoiding public-relations performances or domination of consultation by one group.
9.1 Consultation channels
- Periodic public meetings in the constituency and elsewhere when substantively needed.
- Sectoral hearings for professions, workers, business owners, students, women, young people, persons with disabilities and directly affected groups.
- Regular contact with civil society organizations, respecting their independence and remit.
- Consultations with universities, research centres and experts before laws or positions requiring specialist knowledge.
- Dialogue with trade unions, professional federations and sectoral associations within the law, recording the interests they represent.
- Surveys or open forms where appropriate, with a declaration that they are consultation instruments, not binding referendums or necessarily representative samples.
9.2 Major laws and decisions
For legislation or decisions with broad impact, I will seek to publish an understandable summary before a decision where time permits, open a window for views, then publish the principal arguments received and how they were considered. Consultation does not oblige me to follow the most numerous opinions; the final standard also includes the Constitution, rights, the public interest and long-term effects.
9.3 Whom did I meet, and why?
I will publish a register of significant official meetings with parties seeking to influence legislation, oversight or a parliamentary decision, including the organization, date and general subject. Details revealing a victim, whistleblower, legitimate secret or protected security or negotiating matter are excluded, with the reason for the exception described generally where possible.
10. Transparency and publication register
I will make a basic portion of my performance verifiable without citizens having to take my word for it. This includes my activities in plenary and committees, how I vote, the matters I follow, their outcomes and the team members assisting me.
| Published register | Content | Target frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance record | Attendance at Council sittings and committees of which I am a member, based on official records where available. | Monthly | Explain justified absences or discrepancies from the official record where they exist. |
| Voting record | Votes on matters where voting is recorded or the member's position can be reliably established. | Continuously updated | I will not claim an individual vote where the sitting's procedure does not permit it to be established. |
| Explanation of major decisions | Reasons for a vote or position on confidence, laws concerning sovereignty, treaties, the budget, constitutional amendments and other matters. | As soon as practical after the decision | Linked to PARL-02 or PARL-04 where relevant. |
| Legislative activity | Proposals to which I contributed, legislative meetings, written observations and their progress. | Quarterly | Distinguish individual initiative from collective work. |
| Oversight activity | Questions, correspondence, oversight cases and publishable follow-up outcomes. | Quarterly | Operational detail in PARL-01. |
| Register of significant official meetings | Organization, date, general subject and nature of meeting. | Monthly | With exceptions for privacy, security and legitimate confidentiality. |
| Office information | Reception hours, official channels, team members and functions, and complaint and privacy policies. | Kept up to date | Unnecessary personal information about the team is not published. |
| Case report | Aggregate case numbers by category, status and outcome. | Quarterly | Without applicants' names or identifiers. |
| Annual report | A full year's performance: attendance, voting, legislation, oversight, representation, commitments and shortcomings. | Annually | Includes comparison with this charter's objectives. |
10.1 Voting record: accuracy before claims
Where voting is electronic, by roll call or officially established, I publish my position as a verifiable record. Where the voting method does not establish each MP's position, I may publish my declared position and explain how it is evidenced, without presenting it as an official Council record. This distinction is essential to honest transparency.
11. Interests, conflicts of interest, gifts and preferential intercession
Membership of the Council of Representatives is subject to legal rules against exploitation for private benefit. The Commission of Integrity and Illicit Gains Law includes members of the legislature among those required to submit financial disclosures, defines conflicts of interest and requires their removal under its provisions. Beyond this, I adopt voluntary disclosure and conduct commitments where they do not conflict with legally required confidentiality or other individuals' rights.
11.1 Disclosure of interests
- I commit to submitting legally required financial disclosures within the timeframes and in the manner prescribed by the Federal Commission of Integrity.
- I will publish a general compliance statement confirming submission without disclosing details prohibited by law or affecting family security and privacy.
- I will publish a public register of interests covering activities, ownership, memberships or professional relationships potentially directly related to a parliamentary decision, to the extent lawful and appropriate.
- Where an actual or potential conflict arises on a specific matter, I will disclose it under the law, remove it or refrain from participation where abstention is the appropriate legal or ethical action, documenting the publishable reason.
11.2 Gifts and benefits policy
- I will not accept cash, cash equivalents or personal benefits conditional on a vote, position or intervention.
- I will reject gifts beyond token value that could create an obligation or a reasonable appearance of influence over independence.
- Protocol gifts that cannot immediately be refused will be recorded and handled according to law and rules, rather than automatically becoming personal property.
- Invitations, travel and hospitality associated with parliamentary work will not be accepted where the funder has an undisclosed direct interest in a pending decision; permitted funding sources will be disclosed upon publication.
11.3 Preferential intercession and appointments policy
My office will not be a channel for distributing government jobs or sending 'appointment lists' based on proximity or loyalty. I can scrutinize fair recruitment procedures, call for published criteria, investigate discrimination or corruption, and work legislatively to reform recruitment; I cannot replace competitive selection or the law with a personal recommendation.
For the office team itself, I will apply a rule stricter than the minimum: no employment of first- or second-degree relatives in office positions directly under my decision-making authority, and no appointment of an adviser or collaborator merely through a personal connection without a job description and professional justification.
11.4 No exchange of assistance for political support
Assistance from the office requires no political endorsement, vote, attendance at an activity or content publication. Applicants' files will not be used to create electoral lists or target campaign communications.
12. Office team transparency and accessibility
12.1 Who works in the office?
The office will publish the names of staff and collaborators performing an official role in communication, case management, research or advice, together with their status, function and appropriate official contact channel. It will also publish material changes to structure or responsibilities. This excludes personal information the public does not need.
12.2 Team conduct rules
- Prohibit requesting or accepting money or benefits in exchange for office services.
- Prohibit using the MP's name for personal or commercial advantage.
- Prohibit disclosure of applicants' data or circulation of images of their files beyond operational need.
- Prohibit political, ethnic, religious or social discrimination in prioritizing service.
- Require staff to disclose internally any personal interest in a case they handle and transfer it to another person where necessary.
- Record significant contacts with official bodies within the case record, rather than rely on untraceable personal communication.
12.3 Accessibility for persons with disabilities
Accessibility will be a core criterion when choosing public reception premises, to the extent realistic premises options allow. If a person cannot access the location, the office will provide a reasonable alternative: a remote appointment, an accessible reception point, help completing the request or another communication arrangement. Digital material will use readable text, clear contrast, structured headings and descriptions of important images, with text alternatives wherever possible.
12.4 Digital access
Official channels will be clear and specific so citizens need not send data to personal accounts of uncertain status. Explicit warnings will identify any number or account impersonating the office or seeking money, a verification code or banking information in exchange for following up a case.
13. Reports and indicators of an MP's performance
Figures are an accountability tool, not an end. More correspondence or meetings do not mean better performance if they yield no outcome or institutional learning. Indicators therefore combine discipline, transparency and results and will be published with their limitations explained.
| Indicator | Measurement method | Why it matters | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance commitment | Proportion of Council sittings and committee meetings attended out of those requiring attendance, with explanations for absences. | Measures basic discipline. | Attendance alone does not measure quality of participation. |
| Publication of the voting record | Proportion of decisions with verifiable voting for which the position was published in the register. | Enables accountability for decisions. | Some voting methods do not produce an official individual record. |
| Initial response to requests | Proportion of cases receiving an initial acknowledgment within the office standard. | Measures service consistency. | Does not mean the case was resolved. |
| Closing cases with a clear outcome | Proportion of closed files containing a documented outcome or closure reason. | Prevents accumulation of cases left nominally open. | A clear outcome may be adverse to the applicant. |
| Cases converted into institutional action | Number of recurring patterns resulting in a documented oversight or legislative process or institutional recommendation. | Measures the office's movement from individual intercession to general reform. | A low number may be normal if the cases are genuinely individual. |
| Regular publication commitment | Proportion of reports and registers published on their announced dates. | Measures whether the transparency promise is honoured. | Does not alone measure content quality. |
| Oversight activity outcomes | Cases obtaining a documented answer, corrected procedure, competent referral or institutional follow-up. | Focuses on impact rather than question count. | The outcome may depend on other bodies' cooperation. |
| Complaints about the office itself | Number of conduct and service complaints, handling time and proportion closed with an explanation or corrective action. | Makes the office itself accountable. | A high number alone does not prove poor performance, nor a low number quality. |
13.1 Quarterly report
A concise report will be published every three months, covering cases by category, closure status, average initial response time, files converted into oversight or legislative processes, publication records and major systemic problems revealed by citizens' requests.
13.2 Annual report
The annual report will be broader, reviewing commitments individually and identifying non-compliance, reasons and corrective plans. A poor indicator will not be removed merely because it is negative.
13.3 Complaints about the office itself
The office will provide a channel relatively independent of the employee complained about for receiving complaints of mistreatment, discrimination, solicitation of benefits, privacy breaches, conflicts of interest or manipulation of case priorities. Outcomes will be documented internally, with aggregate data published on complaint types and responses without harming complainants or staff before verification is complete.
14. Schedule of accountable commitments
These commitments concern actions I can perform personally or through my office; they do not promise outcomes controlled by other authorities.
| Commitment | Frequency or deadline | Means of verification |
|---|---|---|
| 1Publish office channels, reception hours and service and privacy policies. | Kept up to date | The office's official page. |
| 2Initial acknowledgment of a case eligible for follow-up. | Target: within 3 working days | Case number and acknowledgment message. |
| 3Classify the case and identify the initial route. | Target: within 7 working days | Internal status record and applicant notification. |
| 4Update applicants on open files. | Target maximum of 30 days between updates | Communication log. |
| 5Request no financial or political consideration for office services. | Ongoing | Public conduct policy and complaint channel. |
| 6Do not use applicants' data for electoral or commercial purposes. | Ongoing | Privacy policy and access controls. |
| 7Publish attendance records. | Monthly | Published register referencing official sources where available. |
| 8Publish verifiable voting records. | Continuously updated | Published register and method of establishing the position. |
| 9Explain positions on major parliamentary decisions. | As soon as practical after the decision | Dated, archived position statement. |
| 10Publish the register of significant official meetings. | Monthly | Record of organization, date and general subject. |
| 11Publish aggregate legislative and oversight activity and office cases. | Quarterly | Quarterly report. |
| 12Publish team members' names and principal professional roles. | On establishment and every material change | Team page. |
| 13Comply with statutory financial disclosure and publish a compliance statement. | According to statutory deadlines | Dated compliance statement without protected data. |
| 14Publish a register of interests relevant to parliamentary work within legal limits. | Annually and upon material change | Public register of interests. |
| 15Do not employ first- or second-degree relatives in office positions under my direct decision-making authority. | Ongoing | Team list and internal declaration of relevant relationships. |
| 16Publish an annual report comparing actual performance against this charter. | Annually | Archived annual report. |
15. Archiving and open publication policy
Transparency loses its value if old records are deleted or become difficult to access. A continuous digital archive will therefore allow access to reports, voting and attendance records, positions and previous versions of published policies.
15.1 Archive rules
- Every substantive report or statement carries a clear date and version number where needed.
- When published material is corrected, the amendment date remains visible; the past is not rewritten to suggest the correction was present from the outset.
- Core tables are available in readable, searchable formats, and reusable aggregate data are provided where privacy or confidentiality is not affected.
- Material is not deleted merely because it has become politically embarrassing. Deletion is limited to a legitimate legal, security or privacy reason, retaining a notice of correction or withdrawal wherever possible.
- Official links and sources supporting the records are documented so readers can verify them.
15.2 Exceptions to publication
Not all information can be published. I exclude information threatening a person's life, revealing sensitive personal data, harming an ongoing investigation, disclosing a legally protected secret, affecting legitimate national security interests or breaching a legal confidentiality obligation. The default is to minimize withholding: publish what can be published and explain the type of withheld information and the reason, rather than withhold the entire file wherever possible.
16. Relationship to the wider political project
This charter is part of Ali Zuweid's Parliamentary Programme and does not replace the legislative package or Iraq Vision 2045.
- The legislative package: identifies proposed and draft laws I seek to help introduce, develop and enact through constitutional mechanisms. This charter does not rewrite those laws.
- PARL-01: explains how I use parliamentary oversight and accountability, while this charter explains how citizens' cases reach that process.
- PARL-02: defines my approach to scrutinizing the budget and public finance, repeated here only as needed for transparency of my position to citizens.
- PARL-04: defines standards for voting, confidence, appointments and major constitutional decisions, while this charter commits to publishing positions and disclosable explanations.
- Iraq Vision 2045: a long-term strategic framework for the state and executive policies. My parliamentary role towards it is legislation, oversight, budgeting and representation within the Council of Representatives' remit, not personally implementing government projects.
17. Legal and official sources
This document is read alongside provisions in force and interpretations of the competent authorities at the time of application. If a law or rule of procedure changes, or a binding judgment affects a power or procedure mentioned here, the newer provision applies and this charter will be updated accordingly.
- Constitution of the Republic of Iraq — particularly provisions on the source of authority, privacy and communications, separation of powers, Council members' representation of the entire Iraqi people, the constitutional oath, public sittings, legislative initiative, and legislative and oversight powers.
- Rules of Procedure of the Iraqi Council of Representatives No. (1) of 2022 — rules on membership and attendance, organization of work, committees, information and document requests, and parliamentary procedures.
- Council of Representatives and Its Formations Law No. (13) of 2018 — particularly rules on Council functions, official correspondence, faithful representation and oversight powers. This document relies on the applicable text that the Council continued to invoke in its published activities and decisions during 2026; any provision changed by later applicable legislation is superseded from the new provision's effective date.
- Decisions and Recommendations of Sitting (20), 21 September 2026 — a recent official source showing the Council of Representatives' continued reliance in the sixth electoral term on Article (61) of the Constitution, the Council of Representatives and Its Formations Law No. (13) of 2018, and Rules of Procedure No. (1) of 2022.
- Commission of Integrity and Illicit Gains Law No. (30) of 2011, as amended, particularly financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest provisions, as published in the Iraqi Gazette and amended by Law No. (30) of 2019.
- Iraq's statement on the financial disclosure system published among United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime materials, referring to Council of Representatives members' obligations under the Commission of Integrity and Illicit Gains Law.
- Privacy Policy — Iraqi Council of Representatives, as guidance from published practices for protecting data of digital users of the Council, with the Constitution and applicable laws remaining the higher authority.
- Ali Zuweid's Political Programme, as the entry point to the legislative package and published axes.
- Iraq Vision 2045, as a strategic framework independent of this parliamentary charter.
Last updated: 7 October 2026. In a conflict, the Constitution, applicable laws, binding judicial decisions and adopted parliamentary procedures prevail.
