Abstract
The procedures of international treaties from negotiation, signing and ratification must be carried out by the competent authority under the rules that regulate this subject in international and domestic law, and since international treaties fall within the foreign policy of the state, they are the competence of the authority that has to conclude them at the international level, i.e. the executive authority within the state, since the federal state includes more than one internal authority, here there is a need to determine the competent authority to conclude international treaties in it, and then indicate the restrictions and principles that are affected It includes federal states, including Iraq, and its impact on the competent authority to conclude international treaties. In our study, we will rely on the analytical approach in order to study and analyze the issues related to the subject of the study by analyzing some legal articles and decisions related to our subject. We will also adopt the comparative approach by comparing the legal systems of other countries with Iraqi law. In order to cover the subject of the study, this topic will be divided into two requirements. In the first requirement, we will show the authority competent to conclude international treaties in Iraq, and in the second, we will address the restrictions on the freedom to conclude international treaties in Iraq.
