Court adjourns hearings on Khor Abdullah appeals

BAGHDAD: The Iraqi Federal Supreme Court on Thursday adjourned hearings on two appeals submitted by Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid and Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani, challenging the court’s earlier decision to annul Law No 42 of 2013. The law ratified the bilateral agreement between Iraq and Kuwait on the regulation of maritime navigation in the Khor Abdullah waterway. According to the court’s official schedule, both cases will now be heard in adjourned sessions without pleadings on June 25.

President Rashid and Premier Al-Sudani filed separate appeals in mid-April, seeking to overturn the ruling that invalidated the agreement, and called for the reinstatement of the ratified law. The court had initially set April 22 to consider the lawsuits but subsequently postponed the hearings multiple times - first to June 30, then to June 22, before moving the date up to June 19. It has now rescheduled the hearings once again to June 25. The court’s ruling on the matter holds significant implications for Iraq’s international agreements and its diplomatic relations with Kuwait. — KUNA
