Shafaq News/ The debate on the law of the Federal Court and the positions of political forces intersection continue, especially among the blocs of the "law" and "Iraqia" and this debate take a political character and mutual accusations of causing obstruction to vote on the bill and delay are  escalating. This  occurs despite the Presidency has provided since last winter a draft law to the Supreme Court of the Federal House of Representatives to approve the legislation, according to the provisions of Article (61 / I) of the Constitution.
The Iraqia List, accuses the coalition of law state of being responsible  for , the Federal Supreme Court Act legislation impediment, emphasizing the need for legislation of this law in the current stage.
"The bloc of the coalition of law state continued in repeating its reservations on the most important issues that have a prejudice to modify and correct the course of the government, the most important of which is  the enactment of the Federal Supreme Court." The Iraqia List MP Hamza Algurtani said in an interview with "Shafaq News"
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki asked, last April, the House of Representatives to slow down in the legislation of five laws including the Law on the Federal Court, but the President of the House of Representatives Osama Nujaifi rejected Maliki's request, saying parliament sought to legislate such laws as soon as possible to keep the judiciary away from the political effects and to combat corruption.
"The enactment of the Federal Supreme Court comes among the agreements reached between the political blocs, and all the signatories to those agreements are to commit to its implementation," Algurtani added, stressing that "the enactment of the Federal Court is very necessary at the present time because it is in the public interest of the country."
The House of Representatives decided to raise the bill of the Federal Court to the heads of political blocs to determine four points of contention that have not been resolved within the legal committee of parliament and the four contentious include the mechanism of selection of members of the Federal Court and the components of the law scholars and jurists, and the possibility of combination between the head of the Federal Court and the

Supreme Judicial Council or no combination , and the mechanism of choosing the head of the Federal Court, and whether the decisions of the Federal Court to be explanatory or binding.
The coalition of law state rejected  the charges made by the Iraqia List, of seeking to disrupt the important laws, asserting that the charges would give a negative image to the citizens for the depth of the differences between the two lists.
According to MP from the coalition of law state Falih Ziadi who said in an interview with "Shafaq  News" that "these accusations have no basis of truth, and a coalition of law state did not in any day hang any law, except when it is outside the constitutional framework," asserting that his coalition "always sought the direction of activation of important laws, such as the Federal Court Act and other laws, and laws being accused of disabled gives a negative image to the citizens of the depth of the most important differences between the two lists in the House of Representatives."
"The accusations of Iraqia against the law state is not new, but the issue of disabling the laws is not the habit of law state. We are always trying to put pressure on the Presidency of the Council of Representatives to schedule the work of the Council and to identify priorities for the legislation of laws that have direct contact with citizens." He added.
Among the functions of the Court, according to the draft law being intended to vote, is to decide the charges against the President and the Prime Minister, and  in the chapter of the jurisdiction conflict between the federal judiciary and judicial institutions of the regions and governorates not organized into a Region, and also in the conflict of jurisdiction between the judicial institutions of the regions and governorates not organized into a Region.
It seems that politicians are keen on trying to distance themselves for causing delay of the vote on the Federal Court Act in view of the importance of law at the level of political practice, particularly that the judicial authority, to which politicians give a special account, to discuss and resolve the large files many of which  are the subject of disagreement and conflict between political forces, as all seeks to get the power, especially the two big blocs of "Iraqia" and the" law state  "to achieve their goals related to the law of the Federal Supreme Court .Will we see a vote on the law in the coming period or we are waiting for further delay?
