The College of Law discusses a master’s thesis on the relationship of the House of Representatives with the provincial councils that are not organized in a region The Faculty of Law, University of Karbala, discussed the master’s thesis tagged: “The Relationship of the House of Representatives with the provincial councils that are not organized in a region in the light of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005.” The thesis was presented by the student Mustafa Abbas Fadel. The message aimed to show that the relationship of the House of Representatives with the provincial councils that are not organized in a region is one of the most important links that the Iraqi legislator created after 2003, especially after granting legislative competence to the provincial councils, and bringing them closer to the regions that are one of the degrees of government, which the Iraqi legislator is supposed to organize The competencies of provincial councils that are not organized in a region within the framework of the decentralized administrative system without deviating from the principles that govern that system. The researcher reached a number of results and proposals, the most important of which is that the Iraqi legislator did not adhere to the objective limits of the text of Article 122 of the 2005 constitution, which included a reference to the administrative decentralization system in the management of governorates not organized in a region, which was reflected in the legislative formulation of the law on governorates not organized in a region for the year 2008, as its texts were characterized by weakness and departure from the principles of administrative decentralization. The researcher proposes amending Article (115) of the Iraqi constitution to make priority in application in case of disagreement with the federal law issued by the federal legislative authority over other laws, and to make the common competencies limited to the federal authority and the federal regions only, by excluding governorates that are not organized in region thereof.
