The Honorable President of the Public Prosecution of Iraq …
Re. / Complaint
Request to Process Complaint: The National Center for Legal and Judicial
Research and Studies, an Iraqi non-governmental organization registered
according to the law, and as represented herein by its Secretary-General, the
former Judge Raheem Hassan Al Igeeli, and by its Deputy-Secretary-General,
the Attorney Kamel El Hassani, with its address at Haifa Street, Baghdad, Iraq.
Defendant: Nouri Kamel Al Maliki, Former Prime Minister of the Council of
Ministers and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, current Iraqi Vice-
President, with his address at Al Dustur Street, Baghdad International Zone, Iraq.
Jurisdiction of Complaint:
Defendant “Nouri Kamel Al Maliki” assumed the post of Prime Minister of the
Council of Ministers and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Iraq
between the years 2006-thru-2014, and during the period of his governance
committed numerous of egregious violations and crimes. And whereas the post
of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is a civilian post pursuant to the
provisions of Article 9 (First) (A) of the Constitution, which states: “The Iraqi
armed forces and security services will be composed of the components of the
Iraqi people … [and] they shall be subject to the control of the civilian
authority….” Therefore, there does not exist any legal basis for stating that the
charges against the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces fall within the
jurisdiction of military justice; because it is a civilian post and such jurisdiction is
exercised over internal security forces and military tribunals for crimes committed
exclusively by the military. And whereas the Constitution states in its Article 93
(Sixth) that the Federal Supreme Court shall have jurisdiction over: “Settling
accusations directed against the President, the Prime Minister and the Ministers
…,” to assert that the charges against the Defendant, which include high treason,
fall within the jurisdiction of military justice would constitute a disclaimer by the
Judiciary of its performance of its constitutional responsibilities and hence
amount to an attempt to abandon its confrontation of the people’s causes.
Thus, we request the institution of legal procedures and processing of criminal
charges against the Defendant for the following crimes:
