التنظيم القانوني لانعقاد الجلسة السرية لمجلس النواب العراقي

Abstract EN

The Iraqi Council of Representatives carries out the legislative, supervisory, and financial functions by holding public meetings based on the principle of transparency, which allows citizens the right to be informed of the parliamentary work within the sessions, but as an exception and due to the necessity, the legislator is authorized to hold secret sessions based on the decision of the Council of Representatives for the supreme interest of the country.

Through this research, we sought to explain the legal mechanism for holding the secret session and determine the spatial, temporal and objective scope for its convening.

We have also discussed the most important negative and positive obligations that are imposed on the council member in secret council meetings along with the types of responsibility to which the deputy is subject when violating its obligations.

At the end of our research, set of conclusions were recommended.
