| Abstract | ||
| Every state possesses a flag that distinguishes it from other nations, symbolizing its civilization, sovereignty, and representing the components of its people. Accordingly, each state seeks to safeguard its flag from desecration, insult, or violation, whether committed by individuals or other states, and whether such acts are carried out by citizens or foreigners. This is because any violation of the flag is considered a violation of the sovereignty of the state and an encroachment upon it. In this regard, constitutions—including the Iraqi Constitution of 2005—and the relevant laws have established specific provisions aimed at protecting the state’s flag and preserving its sanctity against any form of assault. The research was divided into two sections: The first section discussed the definition of preserving the sanctity of the Iraqi flag and explained its constitutional philosophy in two sections. The first section was devoted to explaining the definition of preserving the sanctity of the Iraqi flag, while the second section was devoted to discussing the constitutional philosophy of preserving this sanctity. The second section also highlighted the legal forms of preserving the sanctity of the Iraqi flag in two sections. The first section addressed the preservation of the sanctity of the Iraqi flag by official bodies, while the second section was devoted to the preservation of the sanctity of the Iraqi flag by non-official bodies. Finally, several findings and recommendations were reached, which are included in the conclusion. | ||
