مدى تحقيق المساواة بين المرأة و الرجل في قانون الجنسية العراقية

Abstract EN

One of the most important laws governing an individual’s loyalty to a country is the nationality law of a particular country.

There is no doubt that gender equality is one of the desired goals pursued by most countries in all areas of life.

As for legally, the legislator seeks to provide the family and the Iraqi individual with the legislations that contribute to reducing the differences between women and men, especially in the field of nationality, the basis of which is the supreme legislation, which is the Iraqi constitution, which was somewhat affected by the principles of human rights that seek to achieve equality.

In Article 18 of the in force Iraqi constitution in 2005, the legislator wanted to achieve equality between women and men in the matter of nationality by stipulating that (anyone born to an Iraqi father or mother) is considered an Iraqi.

Upon the basis of this constitutional text, the effective Iraqi nationality law has been issued.

He tried to reformulate the legal texts in line with the constitutional text, but he deviated from the real equality.

The Iraqi Nationality Law No.(26) 2006 of modern legislation, which carried a modern style that was not the same in our Iraqi society, tried to keep pace with modern developments and gender equality.

The third article included the principle of equality in granting citizenship, whether through the mother or through the father.

But in some places, this equality is violated considering it a case of acquiring nationality.

We are trying to explain aspects of achieving equality or not in the Iraqi Nationality Law and ways of granting citizenship with different sex.

We are also trying to find solutions that contribute to reducing differences and addressing relative equality and making them effective equality.
