| Abstract | ||
| Under the principle of autonomous autonomy for regions, each region has the right to have its own constitution under which the structure of legislative, executive, and judicial authorities is regulated. Another manifestation of this principle is the financial independence of the regions. The Kurdistan Region, with its official institutions, including the legislative authority, emerged as a de facto after the uprising of the Kurdish people in 1991, and was then officially recognized as a federal region in the State Administration Law for the Transitional Period and then the Iraqi Permanent Constitution of 2005. Under the Permanent Constitution of Iraq for the year 2005, both the federal authority and the regional authority legislate within the limits of their constitutional powers. According to the Iraqi Constitution, there are exclusive powers for the federal government and it has the freedom to legislate whatever it wants, and here priority is given to federal laws. With regard to the shared jurisdictions between the federal authority and the regional authority, which are the subject of overlap between two authorities, in the event of a conflict of laws, regional laws take precedence, and the regions can amend the application of federal laws in the region. This case includes all matters that do not fall within the exclusive jurisdictions of the federal government. | ||
