Abstract

The Federal Supreme Court is a fledgling institution of the Iraqi legal system following the recent developments in Iraq and the drafting of its new constitution in 2005, with a wide range of functions and powers that reflect the structures, trends, policies and values of a society. It has been established. This article aims to examine the adherence to multicultural citizenship in the rulings of the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court and seeks to answer the question that Iraq as a multicultural country and society has been able to be equal among all religions, languages, nationalities and Ethnicities behave in Iraq? This descriptive and analytical study followed the hypothesis that in general, the 2005 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Iraq, 10 articles of which, including items 3, 4, 9, 12, 13, 20, 49, 125, 126 and 142 are multicultural Iraq acknowledges. In this regard, it can be divided into national, religious and linguistic identities and minorities according to different identities. The findings of the study indicate that throughout history, minorities in Iraq have always been marginalized, marginalized, attacked, and forcibly displaced and annihilated. This trend has continued both religiously and linguistically and nationally, and these behaviors are due to the system of governance in Iraq, where corruption and widespread human rights violations have increased, and in the meantime, the status of civil rights has been further weakened.
