BAGHDAD,-- Kurdish Parliamentarian Mahmoud
Othman, from the Kurdistan Alliance, said on
Tuesday, that the Iraqi government is scrutinizing
the final drafts of the Accountability and Justice
Law, a law expected to end a ban on former Bathists
to take public jobs, in order to pass it to the
parliament for endorsement.
“There are several drafts proposed by committees and
political blocs, and the Iraqi government will study
them and draw out a final draft,” Othman said.
He added that “the Kurdish bloc supports a call for
forgiveness, and to take merciful measures."
The Kurdish Alliance, Othman pointed out, “does not
oppose to the annulment of Debaathification Law.” |

The Debaathification Law, a ban on former Bathists
to take public jobs, whose name has been changed to
the Accountability and Justice Draft Law, is one of
several laws waiting to be set to debate in the
Parliament before going into recess in August.
Othman called for the “presenting of files of all
those excluded from public jobs under the
Debaathification law, to specialized judiciary
commissions to discount the possibility of
vengeances and settlement of political accounts.”
The Kurdish parliamentarian who did not rule out
U.S. interventions pressuring to endorse the law,
considered these interventions as incentive for
Sunni parties to join the political process.
“Contrary to what is expected, U.S. intervention
often leads to opposite results as it does not
follow the proceedings of the political game in
Iraq,” he elaborated
