The College of Law at the University of Karbala discussed a master’s thesis on the responsibility of the host state for investment in the residence of the foreign investor – a comparative study, submitted by the student Osama Mohammed Jassim.
The study aimed to show the extent to which Investment Law No. 10 is appropriate for the residence of the investor, and whether it regulates it accurately or refers it to the Foreign Residence Law, and whether it distinguishes the foreign investor from other foreigners in the matter of entry and residence, in addition to identifying the impact of international agreements and attempts to regulate investment in international legal rules on the internal systems of countries.
The study concluded that the Iraqi legislator has relied on the nationality of the investor to determine his foreign status, and did not address the foreignness of money despite the impact of foreign money on investment and the investor, in addition to the fact that the foreign investor may enjoy international status for a limited period, and this status enables him to file a lawsuit against any sovereign state with which he has contracted directly without the need for his state to intervene.
