Baghdad

Only constitution concludes IAF’s demands – Kurdish MP

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: Lawmaker Mohsen al-Saadon of the Kurdistan Alliance parliamentary bloc on Wednesday said that many political blocs want to cancel the Supreme Criminal Court, but such demands should be concluded by the constitution not government, referring to the demands of the Iraqi Accord Front (IAF). “This Court was formed by the constitution, and cannot be canceled unless through the constitution,” al-Saadon, member of the Iraqi parliament’s legal committee, told IraqiNews.com. “The Accounting and Justice committee is stated in the constitution, and the government cannot omit a constitutional article,” he said. The Kurdistan Alliance occupies 53 out of 275 seats in Iraq’s council of representatives. MH (P)/SR 1
