Legal expert: Parliament has right to issue general or private amnesty

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The legal Expert Tariq Harb stressed that “The 6th article of the Iraqi Constitution authorizes the Parliament to determine the provisions and principles of any law including the amnesty provisions; this means that the amnesty law can be private or general.”

Harb added “It is legal to issue private amnesty rather than general amnesty concerning the pending crimes that need issuance of amnesty where the amnesty includes commutating or mitigating the sentences.”
