1- Federalism

The imposition of the strong iron fisted central rule that has been a theme throughout the contemporary history of Iraq has created pattern of unfair and oppressive regimes that exposed the national unity of Iraq to great dangers. It was at forefront of the totalitarian party which led to the arbitrary exclusion and long marginalization of the majority population of Iraq.

There was a need to remove these types of unfair regimes that ruled Iraq and their damaging effects and that is why the Iraqi constitution ensures in article number 119, that it is the right of any one province or more to form a region based on a request for a referendum. This is to be held in two to be held in one of two ways: -

1-There is a request by one third of members in each of the provincial councils that intends to form a region.
2-A request by one-tenth voters in each of the governorates intending to form a region.

Thus, the Constitution ensures the right of provinces to form regions, according to the regulations of the Iraqi constitution. This is a federal administrative designed to protect the national unity considering that the Iraqi people consists of ethnic and sectarian and religious components that cannot be marginalized by dictatorships and authoritarian regimes.

We in ISCI does not stand against the formation of regions according to the constitution and even respect the will of the Iraqi people if they choose the formation of federal regions to reduce the influence of extreme centralization. Extreme centralization w produces only dictatorship and totalitarian parties. Because federalism prevents partition centralism encourages it.

2- the serious degradation in security:

The scramble for positions and quotas coupled with the lack of naming security ministers since the formation of the current government have been major factors that have contributed to the degradation in security and the escalation of terrorist attacks over the past three months. This is a result of the stampede on the sites and positions at the expense of the security of citizens.

We call on all political blocs to look with open eyes at the interests of the Iraqi people, and especially the security interests. This is needed to stop the deterioration of security in the Iraq. Whether in Baghdad or other parts of Iraq we must speed up the nomination of independent and patriotic ministers to fill vacancies in the defense, interior and national security and other services. We also call for security to step up the pace and efficiency of intelligence work in a manner that ensures the prevention of crime before it happens and if the situation remains the same no one can guarantee the safety of citizens and that all partners in the political process would be responsible for this deterioration of security in Iraq.

3- Freezing the work of the Electoral Commission:

The Iraqi Political scene in Iraq is witnessing more space in the visions and perceptions between the political blocs as to what happened from the interrogation of this commission in the parliament and positions varied between those who were skeptical that the entire process is politicized and is subject to partisan dictates and those who support the work of the commission. Because the fact that the Independent Electoral Commission has committed irregularities in appointments and programs of sending delegations abroad, has cost the state budget extra financial allocations that is not in the interests of Iraq.

We do not underestimate the importance of the benevolent efforts made by the interviewed MP before the CoR to reveal some irregularities, but we see that the freezing of UNHCR's work in light of current circumstances, will mean that we enter a political process in a constitutional crisis. Particularly if we consider the importance of this commission, which was established in accordance with Article 102, which states High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Independent Higher Commission for Elections and the Integrity Agency, independent bodies, under the control of the Council of Representatives, and that their work to be organized by laws. So we see that these bodies, including the Electoral Commission has to freeze its work through the Iraqi parliament only as a check on their work and not by the hand of the Executive. We also see that the work requires the freezing of their work should involve providing alternative capable of holding fair elections through efficient staff that are trained and have extensive experience. As we see the need to examine irregularities as they may be of some members of the Commission, otherwise the freezing of the work of the Commission will be subjected to politicization.

4-Foreign Relations:

Iraq is trying hard to work for the establishment of balanced relations with the countries of the region and with all nations on the basis of common interests that contribute to building the infrastructure and security elements of economic development, service and security. This is especially true with the neighboring Arab and Muslim states, and within the policy of good neighborliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of the countries of the region away from the policy themes that have failed for three decades during the dictatorship eras. It's obvious that some of the blocs and parties participating in the political process and through a policy of double standards are trying to build relations with countries opposed and still oppose the political process.

We in ISCI call on all political parties to stay away from the policy of double standards and mixed papers, and take advantage of expertise that characterizes these brotherly and friendly countries through their successful experiences in the reconstruction of their countries and prosperity development, and benefit from their capital in the construction of investment projects that contribute to the prosperity of Iraq and ensure the future of his people at the security and service, economic and cultural levels.

5 E-government:

The most prominent feature of this current era is the technical and technological revolution in communications, which has led to a boom not seen in human history. This revolution has altered the speed of the transfer of information, and this revolution has become a milestone in changing many of the patterns of life as well as changing many of the ruling regimes, leading to the establishment of a new world full of intellectual achievements. Perhaps the most important help the developed and developing countries to organize their lives and political, service, security, cultural fields and how to build government institutions is the catalyst factor in organizing the affairs of these countries. Countries which dealt seriously with the formation of e-governments in more than one domain, and that the latest statistic says 89% of the countries belonging to the United Nations used this technique in its organization of things, and in our Arab region, Egypt and Jordan and United Arab Emirates were at the forefront of countries in the region in dealing with such a scientific development so prominently.

We call upon the Iraqi government to accelerate the completion of such a government using the latest technologies to address all forms of delay in the construction of strategic projects and projects associated with some ministries, for example but not limited to the launch of the national ID card through which can dispense dozens of supporting documents of the citizens as possible through database can be provided by the elimination of administrative and financial corruption and detect terrorist groups through access information as soon as possible, as well as provide the benefits of a very big help in reviving the Iraqi economy.
