The Legal Campaign to Determine Iraq's Fate

(Dissolution of Armed Parties and Protection of Democracy)
#Elections_Without_Weapons

To the People of Iraq,

Driven by a firm conviction that change cannot be achieved through compromises with the forces of uncontrolled weapons, nor through slogans that are never translated into action, and stemming from our responsibility to defend the citizen’s right to a dignified life under a state of citizenship governed by the rule of law, we took the initiative on August 27, 2025, by filing official complaints with the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) and the Department of Political Parties and Organizations against all parties that possess armed formations, as this constitutes a clear and explicit violation of the provisions of the Iraqi Constitution and the effective Political Parties Law.

Experience has proven that what is called “change from within the system” is nothing but a dangerous illusion under the current circumstances. Those who promote it are either dreamers, naïve individuals, or opportunists selling illusions to the people.
Based on this understanding, we took our second step by filing a lawsuit before the Federal Supreme Court against the Council of Representatives, challenging the current Election Law, which contains several unconstitutional articles due to their direct contradiction with the Constitution and their undermining of the principles of justice and equal opportunity among citizens.

The complaints and lawsuits we have undertaken mark the beginning of a path of legal and constitutional opposition, which we present to the public as a declaration of our rejection of a system that imposes its power through force while exploiting constitutional provisions to secure its survival.
We will continue along this path without hesitation until this system is compelled to submit to the rule of law, paving the way for a state governed by the Constitution where laws are applied equally to all, without exception.

Accordingly, we call upon all citizens, civil society actors, and legal institutions to engage in this legal and constitutional course—or to actively and directly support it within its legal framework—as the practical path to confront the dominance of weapons and corruption, to reclaim state institutions on the basis of true citizenship, and to ensure that every individual assumes their responsibility in protecting the Constitution and guaranteeing the application of the law.

Campaign Objectives

• Enforcing the Iraqi Constitution, which prohibits militias and armed organizations operating outside the framework of the state.

• Protecting the integrity of the electoral process from military and militia interference.
