The Role of the United Nations in Supporting the Legal and Institutional Framework for Human Rights in Iraq

After clarifying in the preceding sections of our research the legal basis for the United Nations’ humanitarian intervention and the mechanisms of applying international law, particularly in Iraq, as well as Iraq’s obligations under international conventions and the United Nations’ monitoring of Iraq’s compliance with its humanitarian commitments, it becomes evident that the United Nations, through its mission in Iraq, has provided assistance in various fields. These areas will be highlighted in the subsequent parts of our research, specifically through examining the role of the United Nations in developing human rights-related legislation in Iraq and in supporting the national institutions concerned with human rights.
