FROM: THE ADMINISTRATO~ Ammwador Paul Bremer m
SUBJECT: Alternative Proposal for Foreign Investment
At the request of the Governing Council, I have consulted with my economic experts
and their ministry counterparts to develop an alternative proposal for foreign investment As
you will see from the summary below, this proposal js less ambitious and narrows the scope
for the involvement of foreign investors considerably.
Summary of Alternative Investment Proposal
,.
l. Under this modified proposal, foreign investment (as described in my earlier
proposal) is not allowed in Iraq's economy for two years, except where specified
below.
2. Foreign investors will be allowed to invest immediately under the terms and
conditions of this modified proposal if they can demonstrate that their investment wm
have a prompt and substantial economic impact in Iraq.
3. The determination of prompt and substantial economic impact will be made by the
sacening committee (the Iraqi Investment Committee or IIC) establiahcd under my
earlier proposal. The screening process for such investors would be the same as
described earlier, except that the criteria for considering a proposed investmtnt would
be as set forth in paragraph 4 below.
~
. The detcnnination of pro~t and substantial economic impact wi11 be based upon:
a. The ~lationship of the money inv~ted to the total direct and indirect
economic impact of the proposed investment Of particular, but not exclusive,
interest is the creation of jobs in Iraq. direct or indirect
b. A very substantial economic impact may in itself be the basis of a deciaion to
allow an investment
c. How soon the proposed investment and related economic impact will occur
will also be considered.
5. Prospective investors who wish to file for early application and authorization to invest
under the earlier propoAl shall be entitled to do so. However, such investors shall not
be entitled to begin that investment in Iraq until thac propouI becomes effective (as
stated in paragraph I above, in two years).

INFO MEMO
April \ 7, 2004
FOR: THE ADMrNISTRA TOR
FROM: OfficeofGen~Af
SUBJECT: Authority to Expel Journalists from Iraq
This memorandum provides a legal analysis of the CPA's power to expel journalists from Iraq.
Although an Occupation Authority's powers to expel individuals are extensive, they are
constrained l;y the Geneva Conventions.
• Under Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention, the CPA is absolutely prohibited from
expelling Iraqi nationals. Jt should be noted, however, if the conduct of the journalist,
Iraqi or foreign, violates a criminal law, such as incitement to violence, the ioumalist
would be subject to criminal prosecution by Iraqi crimjnal c.QUrts.
• Under CPA Order Number 16, Temporary Control of Iraqi Borders, foreign journalists
entering Iraq would be classified a.s ''P.ersons who require permits granting cotzy jntp
lrag,''
o Pursuant to Section 9(c), authorized officers (Coalition personnel and Iraqi
officials) designated by lhe CPA to perform border services may ~ea
pr:rson's pennit to be in Iraq if ''the pa;scnce gfthe pecmo io frap,js, or would be,
a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Iraqi cororo11oit}' "
o Thu~ journalist has a permit and an authorized officer detennines the
journalist's presence is or would be a risk to the safety or good order of the Iraqi
community, the journalist's pennit may be revoked.
o However, it docs not awear the Ministry of Interior has implemented an effective
method for issuing permits. Thus, a large number of foreigners have been
allowed to enter and remain in Iraq · its. A · umalist who has entered
Iraq without a pennit would h entered Iraq illegal y.

0 Article 43 of the Hague Convention creates a positive obligation on the part of the
occupying power to rCipcct the local law unless absolutely prevented. Thus if
Iraqi law prohibits illegal entry and provides for the expulsion of those who'
violate that law, the Occupying Power is bound to rcspccl those laws.
o Under Article 14 of Law Number 118 of 1979, the Governors of govemorates
near the border and Directors Ger.era! of the Nationality Offices for any other
govcmorates can o a erson who has ille II entered I to leave. As set
forth in CPA Regulation Number 1, the Administrator has the au ority to
exercise this power as the person exercising all executive, legislative, and judicial
authority necessary to achieve the objectives of the CPA.
o Iraqi law does no< specify any procedure or give a person ordered to leave any
right or review. Therefore, the Administrator's action in expelling a foreign
journalist would be measured against a reasonableness standard. So long as his
actions are not arbitrary or capricious, they would be permitted. While not
required under Iraqi law, it would be advisable to pcm,it the illegal entrant to
submit a written statement regarding the matter much as Order l6 envisions for a
person who,e permit has been revoked. A panel might then review the
individual's claims and make recommendations to the Administrator for his final
decision.
• Journalists, both foreign and domestic, would be considered "protected persons" under
the 41b Geneva Convention. Article 49 does not, in general, permit the lransference or
deportation of protected persons. This Article. ho~ver, mu.st be interpreted in the
historical context of its creation as well as in a manner consistent with the other
provisiMs of the Convention.
o The JCRC C-Ommentary and other sources make clear that Article 49 was intended
to prohibit actions similar to the mass deportations practiced by Nazi Germany in
World War JI. "These mass transfers tookJ)lacc for the greatest possible variety
of reasons, mainly as a consequence of the formation ofa forced labour servi~."
The provision was, in effect, a codification of an established customary
international law principle which concerned the forcible deportation of whole
populations or segments for demographic and political objectives.
(Schwarzenberg pp. 227-232) There is no evi ence that Article 49 was ever
intended to con · u in Power's au onty to expel those w ter
th~pied territory and commit illegal a.c<s sue as mc1tement. ln fact there
would be a positive obligation on the Occupying Power to attempt to prevent
unhindered illegal entry in accord with its obligations as custodian of the State
and in relation to its responsibility for public order.
o Article 43 of the Hague Convention of 1907 creates an afftrmativc obligation on
the part of the Occupying Power to restore and ensure public order. The Israeli
Supreme Court found in the Abu Awad case that Article 49 ofGCIV .. docs not
reduce the obligation of the Occupying Power to tend to the preservation of public
order in the administctcd territory as dictated by Arric:le 43 of the Hague

Convention of 1907, nor does it [reduce] its right to employ meuures necessary
to ;pmerve its own security."
o Thus, by expelling a foreign Journalist who incites violena:e the CPA would be
acting consislmt with its responsibility under international law to cnfom: existing
Iraqi law and to ensure public order and .security.
Summary:
• Iraqi national journalists may not be expelled, but arc subject to criminal prosecution for
incitement to violence.
• A foreign national joumalilt with a permit IO enter Iraq may have the pennit revoked in
accordance with CPA Order Number 16.
• A foreigr, national journalist witho111 a permit to enter Iraq is In ,..,-;;::;;~may
he expelled In ~ance with Iraqi law, and should be afforded minimal right of review.

AcnONMEMO
May 16, 2004
FOR: 1liE ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: Jennifer Johnson.~or Advisor
Ministry of Displacement and Migration
SUBJECT: Expanded rerurn of lraqis from Iran
The United Nations High Commissioner for Rcfugcea (UNHCR) propose! allowing the
facilitated voluntary return of lraqi refugees from Iran through the Haj Omcran border crossing
in Erbil Oovemorate. The M1nlstty of Displacement and Migration and the Kurdistan Regional
Government (KRO) aUlhorities suppon this proposal. The Senior Advisor's Office seeks the
approval of tbc Administrator for this proposal.
• To date 5,000 Jraqjs have returned from Iran through UNHCR's facilitated voluntary mum
program. In this program 800 persons return from Iran per week, in two weekly convoys,
only through the Shalcmshah border crossing, near Basra.
• Ao estimated 65,000 Iraqis have returned from Iran spontaneously. For the vast majority
their movement is not registered or documented.
• According to UNHCR, Iraqi refuaees in Iran arc increasingly intttcsted in returning to Iraq
through facilitated measures that provide ttamportation to Iraq, onward tnmport.a1ion once
in Iraq, and UNHCR documentation that is recognized by authorities in Iraq, which allow for
access to public services (such as health care and the public distribution system).
UNHCR Proposal: In cooperation with an international non-govemmec.tal organiz.ation (NGO),
UNHCR will facilitate two weekly convoys through the Haj Omeran border crossing in Erbil.
Convoys will go to a transit center in Iraq where returnees will be given food and ca.sh for
transport to their finaJ destinations. This will be for people only returning to KRO-adminitt.ered
areas in SulimanJyah, Erbil and Dohuk. An estimated maximum of 8,000 persons will be
returned through this plan, to the end of 2004. This border point is open and Iraqi! arc already
returning spontaneously through here - this will simply allow for facilitated voluntary rctwm
through this location. CPA North, the Ministry of Displacement and Migration and the Kurdistan
Regional Government have agreed to th.iJ plan. UNHCR 1w not requested security for the
movements but the KRG MO[ will likely require vetting the names before return.

FOR: THE ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: Office of General Counsel
SUBJECT: Brigade Commanders' Iraqi Employment Jnitiative
The en<:losed Memorandum responds to a request from British forces in Multi-
National Division, South East (MND (SE)), who seek an e,1.pansion of authority under the
Commanders' Emergency Response Program to carry m1t a program designed to address
cU1Tcnt unrest attributed to unemplo~d youth. 111c proposed Memorandum:
• Authorizes brigade commanders within Iraq's five southern govemorates (Wasit,
Dhi Qhar, Nlllliryah, Maysan and Qadisiyah) to ell.pend sei?.ed funds in a total
amount not to ellceed $200,000, for the purpose of hiring day laborers to carry out
Nliefand reconstruction projects.
• Contemplates that commanders will establish a preeunor to the 300,000 jobs
initiative sponsored by the Directorate of Operations and Infrastructure;
• Includes an expiration date of September 30, 2003, recognizing that this temporary
authority eventually will be supplanted by the fully operational Operations and
Infrastructure initiative, which can more effectively monitor and supervise a long-
term jobs program;
• Limits daily payments to laborers to $2 (or $3 for supervisots); end
• Will not necessitate the allocation of additional ~eized funds, and instead realigns
funds that previously approved for the CERP.

Rapid Regional Respoue Program <RJP}
Program Overylewj
This program is designed to provide maximum flexibility to Regional and Govcmorate
Coordinatori in implementing projects rC6ponsive to the needs of Iraqis in their areas of
responsibility. R3P incorporates and expands upon authorities of previously funded progrant!l -
tbe Directors' Emergency Response Program (DERP), which provided an emergency ~nse
capacity, and the Construction Initiative, which provided funding authority foT construction
activities. Under this new program, the discretionary authority under which Regional
Coordinators can execute projects without PRB approval is increased to $200,000 and projects
up to SS0,000 can be executed at the Govcmorate Coordinators' discretion. A fixed monthly
allotment has been made to each region based on past spending and current funding balances.
These funding Levels can be re-evaluated. if necessary, based on new spending patterns and
requirements. Project plans will be developed primarily by Govemorate Coordinators and their
st~ who will oversee project implementation, in conjunction with Iraqi counterparts. and with
input from coalition troops, Administration responsibilities - submission of ftmding rc:qucsts,
contracting, financial management and reporting - win be maintained by the Regional
Coordinators' staff, unless otherwise authorized.
Program Oblecdvea:
• Create local jobs, support local industries, stimulate the economy
• Devolve decision making to the regfonal and govemorate level
• Respond more quickly to regional, govemorate and local and community needs
• Execute programs quickly and efficiently
• Contribute to the reconstruction effort
• Coordinate to ensure no duplication with other program implementers and consistency with
CPA/Iraqi ministry policies and applicable laws and regulations
Permitted Protects: Funds are broadly available to support the relief and reconstruction effort
in Iraq. Projects should be strategica1ly targeted to address CPA strategic policy and security
objectives, as outlined in the CPA Strategic Plan. The program is intended to support a range of
program sizes.
✓ Small, high-impact. emergency projects (ex. school renovation - $30,000)
✓ Medium sized reconstruction or other projects ( ex. replace pwnps in water treatment plant -
SS00.000)
✓ Govcmorate or regjon-wide projects to address common problems/issues (ex. Region wide
civic education program - S 1.SM)
✓ Funds cannot be used to support CPA operations or to hire local staff for CPA offiCC8, to
equip or support any U.S. or coalition military force, or to pay rewards for information or for
weapons "buy-back" programs.

Coordinators in implementing projects responsive to the needs oflnqis in their areas of
responsibility. R3P incorporates and expands upon authorities of previously funded programs -
the Din,c;tor!' Emergency Response Program (DERP), which provided an emergency reapome
capacity, and the Construction Initiative, which provided funding authority for construction
activities. Under this new program, the discretionary authority under which Regional
Coordinators can execute projects without RPO approval is increased 10 $500,000 and projects
up to $100,000 can be executed at the Govemorate Coordinators' discretion. A fixed monthly
allotment bu been made to each region based on pa.st ~nding and cunent fundill8 balances.
These funding levels can be re-evaluated, if necessary, based on new spending patterns and
~uiremcnta. Project plans will be developed primarily by Govcmorate Coord:inaton and their
staffs, who will ovcnce project implementation, in conjuncdon with Iraqi couotc:rparta, and with
input from coalition troops. Administration responsibilities - submission of funding requests.
contracting. financial management and reporting - will be maintained by the Regional
Coordinators' staff, unless otherwise required by the CPA Office of the Comptroller.
Progum Obiectiva:
• Create local j obs, support local industries, sthnula1e the economy
• Devolve decision making to the regional and govcrnorate l~el
• Respond more quickly to regional, govemorate and local and community needs
• Execute programs quiclcly and efficiently
• Contribute to the reconstruction effort
• Coordinate to ensure no duplication with other program implementers and consistency with
CPA/Iraqi ministry policies and applicable laws and regulations
Pumlttcd Prolcc:ts: Funds arc broadly available to support the relief and reconstruction effort
in Iraq. Project& should be strategically targeted to addrelis CPA strategic policy and security
objectives, as outlined in the CPA Strategic Plan. The program is intended to support a range of
program sizes.

SUBJECT: Regional Programs Funding and Implementation Changes
Sir, Along wilh the change in timeline and funding stream for Regional Programs comes
adjustments in execution as well. This memo highlights some of the changes that will be
implemented wilh regard to these programs.
Key points arc as follows:
-Allocations will be 'Pront Loaded' to provide the optimal balance of security, agility and
flexibility. The pace of funding is illustrated in Appendix 8. With the bulk of funds distributed
early the commencement of work and circulation of money into the economy should be
stimulated. By retaining funds for later tranches, CPA retains the ability to redin,-ct funds to
other areas, without the cumbersome and time-consuming process of pulling in already disbursed
funds.
- Regions and Govemorates will be djrected to stasgcr lhejr project focus, with an early
emphasis on larger projects, tapering to smaller projects later in the cycle. As larger pro jects
have a significantly longer life cycle, this allows for CPA to maximize ils a.ssets to produce
greater expenditure and project focus before 30 Jun. Further lhis reduces potential logjams from
the Front Load.
- There will be a review of progress on 0 I Feb. The results of this review will delcnnine
the need, if any, for redirection of funds due to undcr-perfonnancc, or other imperatives.
- There wjll be a deadline of Apr 30 for any new allocations or commitments through~
RJP. This is to ensure maximum number of projects completed by 30 Jun. Target ratio is no
less than 85% of projects concluded, no more lllall 15% outstanding.

In the 1960'1., the govetNnent or Iraq began a proca1 of nationalizina mot1 important
Iraqi businesses which continued d•ring the regime of Saddam Huucin. Today most
latge Iraqi busincues are owned by the government. As in most alll(c-conuolled

him that our concem lay not with the 1Ubstance of lhe matter bul with the form u well
u t1!e aecurity of t\e JOM staff and, by ex1eneion, all who fall wldcr the UN ~udty
umwclla. I very much hope that JOM fully understand, the motivation for our s1aK::c
on thia, which you and I have di11cutted In nicent wccb.
In abort, my strong advice in this uca is that the support of the Govomins
Council should al10 be obtained for thil project u well. I understand from Jerry that
the Council does indeed endorse the programme, which it reconfirmed a few days ago.
I suggm that IOM would bcrefitJi:om this approval being made more explicit and
b9[1i much more effectively publicixcd..:.. Secondly, l would UTgc you to ,pend u much
time iiid reioun:ei as an: feasible on a 1e111itizatioo campaian in advance of the
beginning of the prc!icct proper. Thia will be particularly important at the local level
and must, in my opinion, be deviled and irnplcmcm.od by people who undentand and
can addrea local co.ccrna ~ including and perhaps c:speclally those that -,cm far
fetched and extravagant I have exi,lainod lo Jerry that we have =very in~I iD
ensuring tlw JOM Is RKXUlful in thil 6t1l phuc of what is likely to~ a complex but
vital undcr1aldng, in redrea•ing iajusticcs of the past, whilo not &cncrating new onca in
the proccn.
Finally, [ have also explained to Jerry that I also feel strongly, having
cooperated with IOM and its prcdccenor ICEM since t1u: early days ofmy career in the
UN, thal IOM must uot be i:xposed lo unneceesary risk, both u an instillltioo and in
terms of iti staff security. In other worda, I care about IOM as much as 1 care about the
UN. ] am, tbcrcfom, tAking the liberty of copying this letter to Jerry.
I hope you find the above sugge&tiona to be of use. Na:dlcss to say, however
you might wiah, the U11ilcd Nation1 in mq 1tands ready to ualst you hi your important

2. In the second incident. two former lnlqi military officers asked to ,cc the SRSO's Miliuty
Adviser. One was a forme:r Major from a Chemical Unit wbo claimed lo have been imprisoned
twice for failing to comply with ordel'l that involved working in cbcmical Wc&poN projects. The
olhcr was a M11jor from an engineer unit, who offered little information. but primarily .seemed to be
present for moral support and translation. The officer from the chemical unit provided
documutatlon showing that he had been 111 touch with the Am~lcans but~ stated !hat they
appurw nut to have done anything with the information passed on. He provided an ovm-vlew of

4. The Major sated that chemical WQpoDS had been issued co units, specif yin& at least one of

On the oec1doo of the
Fol'lnaUoa ottbe··•·••-' INq
~ Snday 13 July 2003)
Your &cellcndes, Mcmben of the Governing CollOCiJ, Ambassadors Bremer and
Sa wen, Members of tb.e media., friend\,
1 am hoooured, today, to have been invited by yoo - !tie members of the
Go"ernlng Council of lraq - to say a few worth on behalf of the Sccn:1ory-Oenera\ of the
United Nations.
There are defining moments ia hiltory. For Iraq, today is one of those and ouc
that promlse11 much for me Mure. It is thus only filling that you let it be known ttwt Iraq
is moving back lO where It righ1fully belong3: at peace with 115df :ind as a ruu pmici[IMI
in the community of nations. As 111 official of the United Nations. an Oraanlzalion of
wllich Irnq was a founding member, I am particularly proud lo he here today LO witness
this historic event
{ nave be<:n in looch with lhc Sccrctuy-Ocneral, Kofi Annan, who is following
events in your counuy extremely closely. He wi,hea you well tod:ly and in the weeks
lll1d months ahead as you begin Lo graprle with the m&l\y challenges thal. face your
country. He ls commi~ to the Unltcd Nations as,tjstirig you and an Iraqis in any way
that we con. We ore here, in wh~ form you wish, for L'I long as you want us. 1llat is
hb promise.
Iraq today find, itself in a unique and difficult situation. A great coontry beset by
much recent Lnlgl:dy. Your oonvcning. therefore, marks IJlc first major d.e11elopme11t
towanis I.he re.,tonwon of Iraq's rightful status a. , a fully sovereign stntc. Tod•y. brinp
(raq one step clOSCf towards fulfilling the eicpliclt wisb of !he Security Council which, in
iL~ ~elution 1 483, resolved lhRl the diiy when lnqls govern themselvt:1 must come
quietly. Let me also tuaU that ft.: Scc• rily Council .11.1pported t.he formation of an lruqi
interim admini11tra1ion u a 1ransitional administration run by lraqia until an
internationally recognized, representative govemmenl is cllablimal by lhc people or Iraq
1111d assumes the rcspoosibilitiC$ of the Authority.
l th11s commend the Authority, M 1 commend you. for togelhcr sci:ting the
inililllive to realize 1483, in Its enlitcty, as soon as possible.
The ~acity of Iraqi leaders to forge the oooiCfllus 11CCUSuy to brina into beina
the Governing Council - e.nd to rorie this consensus in sucb complex circumm,i~ - a
an achievement to be n:cogniz.cd, applauded and 1111rtnred. This, Loo, bode3 wen for lhe
future fOf it is lhrough thil coo-111 - a singlc-mioocd unity or purpo.~r: IU\d CCliOl\lc to

&~l fraq back lo wh~ this country de.\efves to be - that the many chalknge$ facing you
w,11 be overcome.
But. as )'OU will undcnuod more acutely than I. today mnrlts merely one moment
in time.
Today. 10 Iraq we sec lite emergen~ or lhe Governing Council wilh a significant
cxcc•live rote to pl•y. This Is not the ultirmie gPI.I - for tht.t ei-n only come with the
rolorltion of full sovCfeignty - but it is a 11Q;CSUI)' nnd welcome move in that direction.
Equally, lhe formation or your Council does oot mean that tornOl'T'Ow you will find
yo.,1elvc:s alone.
From today, we aow have Iraqi COUll(of'patt$ with whom we cao deal. You will
designate Interim Minisim. With you and with Uicm the re.i WO<t will commence o.nd
we will - lhe United Nation., nnd the intcmational community - be there lo support you.
The t~k i& daunting. All lraqls ln n= must receive the a.uiMance they require and
desa-ve. Humanitarian opcnuiooa con1fnue. New life lllll&t be breAlhcd Into the
economy. The reconstruction and recxwery task, fo.cing thls country are lm!l'len$C.
Buie 1C1Vic:cs rnuat be rutorcd. The ~onomy must be urgently revived. Th.c
joblen most be found jobs. New ~kills mwl be learnt. Law 111d order muse be re-
cstabluhed; 11,e police force must be rebuilt. as must lhc 4m1y; lhc justice ~ystcm
reformed. The full range of human rights must be promoted and, nbovc nll. pro(cctcd.
For too long these righta have been trampled on by those who h111e shown nothin& but
disdain for the di&nilY of the hultllln being. TMs most not be allowed ro happen again.
Freedom, dignity and security must be ta'i.cn for granted, not something to pray for in
de5pcration.
Likewise, lraqlg llvlng ln exile must not be forgotten: those who wiah lu return
hoi~-end many have been denied rlu1t opportunity for coo long - need n~o be
11COOmmoduted in this pat land.
Ultimately, you will give pride baclc 10 the Iraqis 11nd you will help lhis country
malt out of ill ellclusion and i10latioo.
Electiom wilt need to be held. The voices of all Iraqis, ~ and women, muat be
heard as you 11hape )'Oll1 country for the ruwre. And a COMtitution will need to be
written: a fundamental document or vit.il importance lo all the many varied peoples an d
\cgion, of thi.'I n.itioo, rich and unilcd in il.S diversity.
The Un jlc(f Nations, aoo ill member st.a. lea, stands ready lo a»isl )'OU aod chc: Iraqi
people in any and all of the complex iauc, that you wlll ~ to add ms in the <X_Wning

Expulsion of Diplomats from Iraq
This responds to your request for a legal opinion regarding the expulsion of persons
acting as foreign diplomats in Iraq. Pursuant to the law of military occupation, the CPA
reserves the riiftt to expel any foreign government official, regard.less of diplomatic
privilege afforded by the former regime, ~ that person's pn:scoce in Iraq be
considered detrimental to public order and saf~.
• Individuals CWTCD.tly in Iraq carrying diplomatic passports or other identification
have no privileees or immunities.
• Under current ci.rcunutanccs, no prescribed procedw:e applies to the manner in
which s~h persons may be expelled from Iraq.
• There is ~ent to inform the rl~ bis or her host government. the
United Natio~ or any other agency or organization of the reasons for the
c~on.
• If the CPA's security interests permit, DQtifyjng the concerned foreig;n roissioo i.q
l11QJ1:any, or the foreign government of CPA's intention. and requesting that the
diplomat be removed is advisable, in view of the political implication.s of
expulsion.
• Alternatively, CPA may request that Commander, CJTF-7 direct military law ! J
enforcement personnel to escort the diplomat to the appropriate Iraqi Nilldcr. J
• The use of a diplomatic note declaring the diplomat a ptrsona non grata is not
recommended, ~ause that action would suggest that the CPA is acting as a
sovercig:n smte rather than an occupymg power. •

FOR: nm GOVERNING COUNCIL
FROM: THE ADMINISTRATOR, Ambassador Paul Bremer III
SUBJECT: Foreign Investment in Iraq
The key to Iraq's long-term economic prosperity is a vibrant private sector. As the
experience of many countries undergoing economic and political transitions demonstrates,
the private secttt is a major engine for jobs creation and ccooomic growth. The budget of
2004 - which is subject to GC approval - has been st:ructu.n,d to put maximum res<>UIUs into
training and education, the foundations of a robust private sector.
Foreign investment is also critical to the growth oftbe private sector. Iraq's current
law severely restricts foreign investment and thus deprives lraq of an important source of
economic power. 1 firmly believe that, without foreign investment, Iraq's economic
proapects are far more limited than they can oc sh<>uld be. For thil reason, I propose that the
Governing Council comider the proposal to liberalize restrictions on foreign invesnneot
summarized below.
Please note that the proposal leaves unchanged cunent investment prohibitions in tM
oil and other natural resource sectors.
I. 2. 3. 4. Summary of PrOJ>QSal on Foreign Investment
Below arc the key elements of my proposal to allow foreign companies invest in Iraq:
Foreign companies can invest in all sectors in Iraq except for those involving oil
md other naturaJ resources at this time.
Parties agree on the percentage of ownership; there arc not limits on the percentage
of foreign ownership.

FOR: THE ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: Office of the Gcnc:ra1 Counsc~
SUBJECT: Govoming Council Resolution No. 137
On December 29, 2003, tho Oovc:ming Council p1ITpOrted to enact R.c&olution No. 137, which
11~tly is intended to broaden the application of Sharia principles in reaolvini certain family
law matters in lnq. & you know, Rc,olution No. 137 has no legal lon:e or affect. unleas you
ratify it. Thls memorandum explains the Rosolutioo and the implications of ratuication.
• When Inqi cilium have a f.amJly law problem, they go to family e-0wt (referred to 11
PCl'SOnal Statute Court in Iraq). This Comt rcspcc1S sect affiliation. If the citizen aceldng
judicial rc:liefis a Muslim, the Court applies Personal Statute Law, Law No. 199 of 19.59,
u amended (hereinafter "PSL"), which i& based on Sharia principles. lfthc citizen
scdtlng reHef is not a Muaiim. he or she is refem:d to the Material Statute Cowt, which
handles family court issues for all oth« f~ths and applies law tailored to Christilllity and
Jucwun. (The Britilh eatablishcd this tliitinetion between Personal Statute Court and
MateriaJ Statute Court in 1917, when the military commander gave all persom therigbl
to have their religious afflllation respected in family court.)
• Under Resolution No. 137, hqi MuaJim1 appear to have the right to ch00$C which laws
should IJJPIY to them in Personal Statuu: Court, simply by cleclarin& the ''sect," or school
of Sharia i{ltcipcdation to which they subaerlbe. That sect's law• would thctJ n:place !he
PSL as tho applicable body of law in resolving tho matter. Siru:e there ia no lcgaJ
requirement to rqilter one's religious sect or doctrinal affiliatioo. Iraqi Muslim• could
abuse the procen by shifting sects when convenience or llelf•inlercat dictates, thereby
exploiting diff'm:nces in tbc laws among sects.
• While lhe PSL is infonned by ~plea drawn from variou& rsJamio sects, it also
protecu stale interesu in family life, including die safety of children. u well a their
propc:rty ria}la, and the rip of women. Resolution No. 137 would effectively
evisan.te these prota;tive upocts of lhe PSL md undennine die pn:dictablo and uni.fonn
application of fundamc:nca1 legal principles in the family law ~
• If enacted, RCl<llution No. 137 wo"1d Jeaen government influence over questions of
family law. and make Pct!cnal Statute Courts aubject lo any DIIITlbet of relisious

i•terpretaliona of Sharia law, effectively NlfflOV!ng most, if DOI all, legal umioTmity from
_,, of lll8'Iiagc, divo=, and child CU11ody. The resulting inmuc ill the in.Owmco of
clerics in Perlllll&I Statute Court could evemually t...l lo the: rosolution of Jlanily law

• Additioaally, it does not oppear 1h11 the law of occupa!im provides sutlie:ient authority lo
enact or ratify this ~olution, since tho cbBDge iD exi&lina Iraqi law does IM>t appear to be

ACTJON MEMORANDUM
June 6,2003
TO:
...;.. Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer
-~·
FROM:
Ministry Coordinator Robin Raphel
SUBJECT: Iraqi Passports
SUMMARY AND PURPOSE: \.a,):-'<
..K.~
\~a-P-~ Z~" 't. ;
Best estimates indict!le that nearly 200,000 blank lraqi passports ecc on rbc black market •
In addition, this problem is exacerbated by a decree issued by the Saddam regime
limiting the validity of previously-issued passports. We now face the situation where a
new series of pwports cannot be printed presently inside I rag. Y ct, the need for new
passports grows ,;aity. This memorandum outlines initial steps to address these issues.
DISCUSSION:
Stocks of blahl Iraqi passports were looted from the Ministries of Interior and Foreign
Affairs buildiJgs and from the local printer. The fonner passport printing facility is
destroyed an, cannot be made operational in less than six months. There is no other
printing co""any within Iraq able to print an acceptable passport. In the meantime, Iraqi
citizens neo1 passport services both domestically and internationally. This is a
particularlf critical humanitarian issue.
Domesti, passpon processing was the responsibility of the Ministry of Interior untiJ the
former~gime transferred it to a branch ofthc Presidency. Overseas passport processing
was d<11C by Ministry.of Foreign Affairs consularpen;onnel.
,·
Jrafl' law allows passports to be issued for a maximum of eight years. However, the
S£dam regime announced that aU "N" series passports (issued from 1996 to 2002)
<,·ould expire in 2..-093 and all Iraqis had to obtain a new "H" series passport. which
includes a hologram of Saddam Hussein. J:his early expiration aooromccm&R& aftc;ts
over 400,000 passports. {ISCPA Ministries oflnterior and Foreign Affairs believe that a
new directive allowing ttte continued use of these older passports should be made,
thereby reins~tingthe original eight-year period of validity. Extensions would require a
stamp in each.passport by a passport official or consular officer. Otherwise, airlines and
other governments will not accept the new validity.
I
A UK firm.. De la Rue, held the contractto print Jraqi passports until 1990and is eagerto
again resumt this activity. A representative is due to travel to Baghdad on June I 0.
Modernizing the passport process would require a major retooling of issuance procedures
and equip,nent. A new series of a passport similar to the previous series is preferable. If
.
· •.

,...
..
the older passport were extendable, 300-400,000new passports would be needed in the
coming year. If the older passports are not extended then 750,000 passports may be
needed.
To move this matter forward, a lead ministry must be designated. The Ministry of
Interior is the logical choice to be so again s inoe most passports are issued domestically.
At least one domestic passport issuing facility and some consular offices outside Iraq
need to be opened with Iraqi personnel. )WtPA expatriate personnel should not be used
to derermine Iraqi citizenship or to adjudicate passport applications.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Designate the Ministry ofTnterior as the lead ministry for passport matters.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
June 6,2003
TO: Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer
FROM: MFA Advisor Allen KepcharA"""
SUBJECT: Iraqi Passports
SUMMARY AND PURPOSE:
'Inc ¢cPA immediately must address the issue of providing passport services so that
Iraqis can travel abroad and also return to their country. Hundreds of thousands of people
are affected by the lack of passports. There are jurisdictional and legal issues that must
be decided before travel documents can again be issued. This memorandum outlines the
current status of the effort to resume passport issuances.
RF.LEV ANCE:
Iraqi nationals abroad cannot obtain passport services to renew residence permits or
return to Iraq. Iraqis within the country cannot leave the country unless a passport was
obtained from the previous regime. The humanitarian issues are obvious, especially in
regards to family reunification and medical treatment Furthermore, OCPA programs
will be frustrated iflraqis cannot travel for official meetings or training,
DISCUSSION:
OCPA teams with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Interior have been looking at the
issue of Iraqi passports for over a month. There will soon be institutional capabilities
within the Ministries of foreign Affairs and Interior to initiate new passport processing.
Several roadblocks remain before new travel documents can be issued including
procuring a stock of blanks since previous stocks were looted, We are prepared (pending
legal approval) an Action Memorandum for your approval requesting agreement on three
issues: establii;hing the Ministry of Interior as the lead agency for passport matters,
rescinding a Saddam regime regulation limiting the validity of previously issued
passports, and allowing OCPA advisors to arrange for a new series of passport blanks. .
We have been io contact with the UK firm (De la Rue) that previously printed documents
for Iraq and know that it will take awoximately 30 days from initiation of a contract to
de live~ of passport documents. Mirustry of Foreign Affairs officials will visit two
embassies, each with resident Iraqi communities estimated at 200-300.000 persons wjthin
the month. in the hope of reopening consular services. The Ministry oflnterior official
wlio could initiate a passport issuing office in Baghdad has been tasked to prese.nt a
budget this coming week for the rehabilitation of a former passport directorate.

INFO MEMO
November! 7, 2003
FROM:
SUBJECT:
As you know, Iraq is interested in applying for observer status to the World Trade Organization
(WTO). l would like to update you on activities to date.
WTO Procedures and Benefits: USTR's Director for WTO Accessions Cecilia Klein explained
that under wro rules, the request for observer status is sent by letter from the appropriate
Minister {i.e. Iraq's Minister ofTrade) to the WTO Director General who then forwards it to all
WTO Members (General Council) for review. The request should indicate an interest in using
observer status to help prepare for membership at some future timo and & short deacription of
Iraq's trade and c,conomic regime. Observer status doe& not require Iraq to enter a formal
agreement though an obsc:rving entity is c:xpccted to apply for WTO accession within five years
of obtaining observer status. As a WTO observer Iraq would receive many benefits including a
means of focusing ongoing economy building, and access to effective WTO technical assistance
programs. Obsctver status would also send a positive mcsSBgc to trading partners and investors
and demonstrate Iraq's increa.!ing involvement in international organizations.
Governing Council: Minister Allawi presented the notion of applying for WTO obscr:ver status
to the GC's Economic Council's. Ahmad Chalabi and Mowaffaq al-Rubaii, and the concept was
well received.
Plans: The Minister has signed a letter requesting obscrver status and I am working with \he
Ministry on an attachment about Iraq's economy, trade and customs policies. Ministry of Trade
Deputy Minister and other foreign relations staff plan to visit Geneva the week of December 1st
to present the subject letter. I plan to join the Iraqi delegation and participate in meetings with
WTO, USG and perhaps UK officials to discuss the benefits of being a WTO observer and Iraq's
interest in using WTO capacity building programs. We plan to consult with other ministries
involved with trade, including Agriculture, Transportation and Communications and Standard.& to
assess their interest in technical assistance programs prior to our trip.
Washington: On Tuesday, Gary Edson is scheduled to meet with USTR's Peter Allgeier on the
issue. In response to press reports suggesting that Iraq was intcrmted in pursuing WTO
accession (far more involved than observer status) USTR prepared a paper for the NSC. USTR's
chief concern was that Iraq not be pressed to move to accession prematurely. USTR has
indicated that it supporta Iraq's interest in applying for observer status.

November 7, 2003
TO: THE ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: George, Wolfe
SUBJECT: Iraq's Status wtth the IMF and World Bank
I am attaching a memorandwn that provides an update on the status oflraq's relations
with the IMF and World Bank (!Fis) and which also recommends that steps be laken to
begin normalizing !Fl relations - in particular, the identification of approximately S415
million that will be needed to clear arrears with both institutions.
Although this figure represents a significant one-time expenditure, the clearance of IFl
arrears is necessary (though not necessarily sufficient) for the IFis to resume lending. A
majority of the Executive Boards at both institutions would net:d to be persuaded, in
addition, that the Governing Council can enter binding agreements on behalf of Iraq and
that "reasonable assurances of repayment" exist I am extremely doubtful that the
CPA/Iraq could persuade the Boards, on the technical merits, that the Governing Council
can enter into binding contracts on behalf of Iraq; however, if the Boards decide that they
want to be persuaded. this should be possible.
Normalizing relations with the IFis would result in substantial new net ]ending to Iraq
and would help to establish a clear policy framework that will help to anchor expectations
and reinforce lraq's need for future policy discipline. Nonnalizing relations would also
send a positive, concrete sjgna) to the private sector that fraq is prq,ared to reintegrate
itself into the international financial community and may help to stimulate new private
investment.
Jn all likelihood, arrears clearance could occur at the same time the first disbursement is
made - thus not requiring Iraq to make an actual payment to the IFis, but only reducing
the net amount that 1raq receives at the time of this disbursement. However, to ensure
maximum fiscal transparency, an expenditure should be reflected in Iraq's 2004 budget.
In the aftermath of the Madrid conference. where IMF Managing Director Koehler and
World Bank President Wolfcnsohn expressed strong support for Iraqi reconstruction. I
advise that we move quickly to capitalize on the positive international sentiment for Iraq
that currently exists.
Rccommead• tion: That the CPA iden tify $415 million in 2004 budgetary funding to be
used to clear arrears with the IMF and World Banlc.

Nonnalizin& Iraq's relations with the International Financial Institutions (IFis) -
principally, the JMF and the World Bank - should be an important priority in order to
obtain access to new IFI lending and to also .end a positive 5ignal to private investors.
The amount oflending both institutions are prepared to commit to Iraq is significant in
light of WlStable security conditions and political uncertainties that exist bere.
1 At the
Madrid conference, IMF Managing Director Koehler announced that the IMF is prepared
to provide S2.5 billion•$4.2S billion in Lending to Iraq over the next three years - l 50'/i>"
250% of Iraq's quota- while World Bank President Wolfensohn stated that the Bank
would commit $3-$4 billion over the next five years.
2
The IMF's willingness to provide $850 million in "postaeonflict'' lending compares very
favorably to ammmts it bas com.mined to other countries in the past.

Under a "best case scenario," disbursements would not realistically begin until Q2 2004.
In the interim, staff from both institutions would need to consult closely with Iraqi
authorities, agreeing on an IMF Letter of Intent and tenns for World Bank lending (note,
however, that pos1-conflict IMF lending carries little conditionality; such a program
might be negotiable outside of Baghdad or, perhaps, by videoconfcrence).
To regain eligibility for new IFl lending, Lraq will need, among other steps, to clear its
arrears (principal and past due interest) with both institutions - approximately $415
1 Under most c:ircwnslanCe.s, the rFls will n01 lend into unstable conditions and where "reuonablc
assuraD<:cs of repaymenl" do nol exist. Ahhough 11 pRcise definition of this standard dou not exist. Iraq
might be unlikely to qualify under most circumstances.
z IMF lending would be provided through two facilities - po~•cunflict a$1iS&a.occ (S850mn) and• Stand By
Arrangement (S8.50nm-$1.70bn a1111Ually over lhc DCXt three yetirs). World Bult nsiltaTI<le would i:omc
dirougb emel"iency leading ($500 million) and the remainder throu&h project and &djustmmt lea~. The
World Bank Board bu already agreed to commit to this amount.

million in total.3 Standing policies at the IMF and World Banlc require the clearance of
these arrears before new lending can proc~. Unlike debts to private creditors, debts
owed to the IFls cannot be rescheduled, restructured, or deferred.
4 At the IMF, Iraq's
arrears could be cleared at the same time that its initial loan disbursement is made -
thereby relieving Iraq of any need to make an actual expenditure. but also reducin& the
net amount it receives from this disbursement.
Also Wllike debts owed to the private sector, arrears to the IFis cannot be cleared
sequenlially (i.e., repaid over time). These constraints reflect longstanding policies at the
IFis (which the U.S. has supported) and also result from the IFis' unique status as
international "lenders of last resort" that provide emergency funding at below market
interest rates when private sector investment is unavailable - thereby entitling the IFis to
unofficial status as "privileged creditors" and ~lowing it to demand full repayment
before lending resumes. s
Clearance of IF( arr~ would involve the following elements;

ln addition, the World Bank, like the IMF, also requires that some degree of stability and
security exist within a country (subject, however, to differing interpretations) and that the
government maintain some degree of international recognition. which can enter into
binding commitments on behalfoflraq. UN Resolution 1511 and the Arab League's
recent recognition of the Governing Council have been helpful in furthering international
recognition of the Governing Council and Iraqi ministries. It remains unclear, however,
whether B majority of shareholders consider this lo be fully sufficient
Although economic and political hunfles to normalization exist, normalizing relations
will result in key benefits - in particular, new net IFI lending. a clear policy framework
that can help LO anchor expectations and reinforce the Deed for policy discipline, and
increased international credibility that would be viewed favorably by private investors.
J While• formal cross-default clawe does not nist 11 the Bank or Fund, neither institution ia likely to lend
uni est •= ue fully cleared at both tnatitutions.
4 In so~ casu, a repayment to the IMF can be chanKed fi-om an "cxpeclatioo" to an "oblieation" bui~
usually providing one additio~l year in which to repay. Such -.:ondhions do not apply in Jraq's cue.

FROM: Office of General Counsel
SUBJECT: Negotiation and & . ecution of Long-Tenn Contracts
This memorandum addrejSCS the legal Implications of entering into contnas that extend beyond
the transfer of full aovemmce authority to the new 10vcmment of Iraq and the dissolution of \he
CPA.
• Undec the laws and usqes ofwat, oonlnlets entered Into by the CPA or inicrim Ministries
acting on behalf of [raq, cannot bind lhc future government of ltlq unless the future
govcmmcnt adopts or ralifics the contnM;t.
• The CPA and interim Minlstlie$ ~ not, bowever, prcc:luded from emcrina into contracts Chai
are intended to extend beyond the projected 1n11sfcr of full govemanoc authority to the new
1..-ql government.
• Contract, that comply with CPA Memorandum No. 4 and Its appendices are legal
even if !fie tenn extends beyoad tho dissolution of the CPA. Such contracts contain 11.
mandamry termination for convenience clause, which reserves to the Contnctlng
Officer the right to terminate the conttact for the convenicftce of the iovcmme,u.
• Ministries using c:ontractingprocedures ocher than those dc,cnl,ed In CPA
Memorandum No. 4 should on,un, dat 1Uffieient funds arc available and committed
(administratively Id asido) before contract award. Executing inswfkientJy filnded
eontracts could creato Ill inappropriate ouuranding dct,t for dte new government and
CO\lld spawn lepl dispute$ over the failure lo pay.
• Ministries that contcmplMC lon&-tmn egn,ements but 1aclc sufficient funds Lo cover
the proposed duration of the concract should put Cho ocher party on notiu that the
furure Iraqi government cannot qally be bound by the CPA or the Interim Minisvy.
Additionally, it iS recommended that such contracta be structured to include a bue

ACTION MEMORANDUM
June 11, 2003
TO: Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer
FROM: MFA: David Dunford~
SUBJ: Proposal for Closing Iraqi Missions Abroad
Summary aad Purpose
Working with tbc Ministry of Foreign Affairs on an interim 2003 budget, we have come
to a consensus with our Iraqi counterparts on closing around .30 of the Iraqi overseas
missions. This memorandum requests your concurrence with this recommendation.
Dhcwsion
lraq has by our count 69 diplomatic posts abroad, mostly embassies but also including
representation missions to international organizations in New York and Geneva. Many
existed mostly to implement objectives of the previous regime that are no longer
appropriate. As part of the current interim 2003 budget process, The Iraqi Steering
Committee of the Ministzy of Foreign Affairs (MFA) took the initiative to propose a list
of posts to be closed a.s soon as practicable. The OCPA Advisory T cam to the MF A
made some modifications that were agreeable to the Steering Committee. The most
imporumt criteria for these retommendations are:
• Number of Iraqi citizens residing in host country
• Potential importance of country to Iraq politically and economicaHy
• Geographic distribution
• Coalition involvement
Attachment A is an annotated list of current fraqi missions abroad that shows which posts
,,,e propose to close. Closure now in no way precludes the next Iraqi government from
reopening them. We would also expect the next government to open posts in Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait and some other capitals where Iraq docs not now maintain missions.
Recommended Action
That you approve the recommendation to close 30 Iraqi overseas minions ~ set out in
Attachment A.

workers at the mcreu,ng d1spantics of wealth. 1929 Muhammad Sa!ib a!-Q3ZZU I mochani
became Iraq_' , ~rst major labor leader. Al Qazzaz hcacled the Artisan' s AssoclatiC:,, (Jam'i~;
As~9:'> As-Sina a, a ~r to the first unions) cttabll,bed by Iraq's Clrst inajor n11ionalist
pohhcal party, tbc "Nauontl Party." Working-class and nationalist politics combined early on in
the tnde union movement. 7he Artisan's Anocia.tion oralNlized strikca and boycoUs •J•inn
British economic interests in Iraq. Their most famous action, and rhe first real show of force of
trade union movement, was a major strike agaimt British-owned Baghdad Electric Light aod
Power in 1934.
Al-Qan.17. founded the fim official Iraqi trade uruon in 1932, called the .. Worker'• Fedl!fation of
Iraq." Tbe Worker's Federation continued to organize strike1 and bo)'COtts apinst Bri1i1h
cconomK: inlm31S in Iraq until it and illl union, were omcially banned by Brilish in mid-30s.
Many trade union lea.den wen: •~c:d, and lhe movement was squashed for a decade, 1'IOt to be
revived again until the entry of the Commuru$l PartyoflriG in the '40s.
In the 19401, the Communist Party oflnq, founded .in 1934 and led by YusufS&Jan YulU!,
recruited initially amon11h1dfflts and the \&'ban middle clllSI. During lhe next decade the CPI
expanded greatly and cmcraed u the only truly national pany (non-sectarian. non-ethnic)
opposing the British. Among polilical actors trying lo gain influence witlrin In.de unions, the
CPl was the best organized during that decade.
16 Ira.de unions were oJr,dllly legalized In mid-409, and 12 of them ended up being led by the
CPL The largCl!I unions were the Railway Workers. Basra port union, md trade unions made up
of while and blue collar worker& in the oil induatry. Thea<: unions led sevcrt.l etril<es for
increased wages during lhc '40.s. The British regularly responded by jailing the trade union
lco.dcrship, outlawing or banning speci fie unions or unions in apccifie sector, (like oil). Often
violent police attacks on s\rik~ or dernonatmors adicaliud the movement.
In 194 the British attempted to extend their milibi()' ~c kt traq, in effcc:.t rctii$ing to grant
Iraq full independence. The large swe proteatsluprisina (known u the Wathba, the Leap) l!m
followed 11w participation by activist student, and (moltly poor) workers in coalition, 111d the
CPI featured prommenlly among U1e leadership of lhc uprising. 1ne Portamouth Agreement wu
500n n:scinded, under pfCSS\lre from protests. Oil workers muc.lt that sam~ year for wage
in~, and the CPI joined union activists in leading a procession known as lh1> Great March
(Al Muirah) toward Baghdad from Kirtruk (where the Iraqi Petroleum Company wu bucd).
The 1logan o(the ma~ers was .. We The Oil Worltets HAve Come To Claim Our Violated
Rights.'' The dcmonslralion ended with no grc&l viciory for the prolcstOls but wu hugely
successful on the level of 1&inin& public support for their cause and promoting the anti-
imperiali&t meuagc. Both the CPI and the trade union movemcnl were repTCACd ~on,tanUy

through the '50s wi~ ~me success, but remained important enough in the nationalist movement
lo be part of the co.l1lion that broughl Abdel Karim Quern to power in l9S8.

cd under these conditions. u was the Communist Party, which found a lot of sympathy
under this type of poor economic and J)OliticaUy repre1Sivc environment.
lnlmcdiatcly aflcr lhe 1958 ~ohuion thatovcnhrew the Monarchy and \:Jrought Abdel Karim
Qasim to power, trade unions were legalized. Observc:n credit the Communist Party's influence
in the new ~me (which was important, but not huge) with the lcpli7Alion. Communills
continued lo win many unio11 and professional association clcc:tions ror a few )Un. but then
Qasim started trying to dismantle the popular inf111cnce ofCPl by attaclcini it through the trade
uni<lns (using tactics such as arrests of trade unionists affiliated with the CPI, thrutening
workeni not to vote ror CPI candidates in union cloctiom, etc.). This was the beginning of the
end orindcpcr,dent trade uniona in Jraq.
In l&le '601 under lhc Ba'lh. worker protections such as minimum waae. mallimum worlcing
bours, child labor and arbitrary dlamissal were iMlituted, and this early period also saw the
introtluction or the 50Cia1 sarcty I\C\ (health care, aoc:ial security, etc. From that point on the
regime officially began trying to incorporate !he labor force into the political system and ruling
party.
By the first half of the 19701, and after a tcric, of coups that brought more hard lloe Ba'thi.stJ
into power, the Ba'th were pining strength and extending infhienc.c inlo all aspects of $<lCicty.
The CPI tried to keep its influence in unions, but the regime chaiigod law regulating unions to
make it impossible for a non-party mmibcr to be in union leadcnhip. Many oflhtm I~
were Ba'th party •JJPOintees, not elected from among the union rank and file and oflm not even
from the soctor in which they were leading. Increasingly the 1ecrct police infiltrated the unions.
Trade unions were no longer officially allowed lo take any ind~dent initiative. The CPJ tried
to continue unioo acli vitic, &ecrctly durillB the 1970s-but by the 1980s even lhis became too
difficult. given the oppreasive nature ortrn: rqime.
Toe 1970s &Jao saw the masaive influx ofimmigmu to the capita! and other major cltia from
the countryaide, who had no aperieru:e witb. trade uniom °' consciousnen or Mich luues u
unions promote; which also &erVed to weaken union movcmenl. The Ba'tb thou&ht of unions
speciflcally as a lhrul (histoncally thc:,r were radical and also had ties to CPT), and redefined
"worker" to mean labor explicitly in the aervice of the development of the country.
1n the: (ale 1980s, trade WUOO$ apln became• foc111 for the regime. The govcmmcnt initiated an
attempt at economic rutrucwrinJ in \he lale ) 980s a.s a respome to dcvutated post-war local
economy, and the hard-cum:ncy shortage lhe conntry faced u the time. In l 987, the lnqi

minimum waae wu abolished, u were the right to ~llectivcly bargain and lho righc to llrike.
All public sector warl(cu (the majority oflbole employed in the Connal sector in lnq at the lime)
were rcclassifx:d u .. civil service" and not allowed to wuonize. Unio.11& could be formed in the
private ~tor, but only in outfits employina JnOJc than SO wonccn, which repteSCnted only abOUl
8<',{, of the workforce in Craq at lhc time.
The Genaal Federation of Trade Uniona in £n.q wu cn:ated by the govc:mmcnt in 1987 111 tbc

Union, Union of T-=-cbm, Union or Palestinian Worker1 in lra,q, General F cdcratiou or Peasant
Societies, and the Inqi Federation of lndUllrics (which rcpruentcd employcn).
In lite late 1980s, the traqi aoveromcnl privatized about 70 large state-owned flli:torica in non-
strategic industries (ie not oil &eetor), but evea then the i,,vemment never owned lc:111 than 76%
of industry in lhc country. The Iraqi government could accompli&h thi, with relative ~c in part
becau$0 il had already neutralized potential opposition from labor (which makca the Iraqi
K')Vert1n1eni's experiment with privatization wholly different from that in Algeria Of' Egypt). The
government also COfaciously c:naclcd these mcUURI in an effort to make the busmcllS climate in
Traq "morc lttractivc" to f1XCign invcstmcnt--thc Iraqi priva1e sector was allowed to import less
expensive Arab labor (mostly from Egypt. Yemen. Sudan, Jordan) as a l'C5UII orthctc refomu.,
which al&o served to undermine the local trade union movement.
Despite the repression unions facc:d under the Ba' th, the Iraqi trade union lcpcy promote,
equality and the rule of law. Historically, unions rep~cd a broad crosa-scc:tion of the Iraqi
working population and counted activiJta and leaden from divwse cO mic, gco~hic and
religious affiliations within their r:int.s.
The current vacuum in unioa lc.knbip lcava Iraqi workers au!ceptible to manipulation and

INFO MEMO
April 20, 2004
FOR: THE ADMINlSTRA TOR
FROM: Office of General Counsel
SUBJECT: Authority to Expel Journalists from Iraq
This memorandum provides a legal analysis of the CPA's power to expel journalists from Iraq.
Although an Occupation Authority's powers to expel individuaJs arc extensive, they are
constrained by the Geneva Conventions.
• Under Article 49 of the 4111 Geneva Convention, the CPA is absolutely prohibited from
expelling Iraqi nati0!1als. It should be noted, however, if the conduct of the journalist,
Iraqi or foreign, viola.res a criminal law, such as incitement to violence., the journalist
would be subject to criminal prosecution by Iraqi criminal courts.
• Under CPA Order Number 16, Temporary Control of Iraqi Borders, foreign journalists
entering Iraq would be classified as "persons who require permits granting entry into
Iraq."
o Pursuant to S~tion 9(c), authorized officers (Coalition personnel and Iraqi
officials) designated by the CPA to perform border services may revoke a
person's permit to be in Iraq if "the presence of the person in lraq is, or would be,
a risk to the health, safety or good order of~ Iraq I community."
o Thus, if a joumaJist has a pennit and an authorized officer dctcnnincs the
journalist's presence Is or would be a risk to the safety or good order of the Iraqi
community, the journalist's pennit may be revoked.
o Under Section 17. I, a person who had his permit revoked would have the right to
apply in writing to the Ministry of Interior for a review of the decision. Within
seven days of receipt of the application, the Ministry of Interior is required to
review the d~ision and notify the applicant of the determination.
o However, it does not appear the Ministry of Interior has implemented an effective
method for Issuing permits. Thus, a large number of foreigners have been
allowed to enter and remain in Iraq without permits. A journalist who has entered
Iraq without a permit would have technically entered Iraq Illegally.

0 Article •U of the Hague Convention creates a positive obligation on the part of the
occupying power to respect the local law unlC3S absolutely prevented. Thus, if
Iraqi law prohibits illegal entry and provides for the expulsion of those who
violate that law, the Occupying Power is bound to respect those laws.
o Under Article 14 of Law Number 118 of 1979, the Governors of govcmorates
near the border and Directors General of the Nationality Offices for any other
govemoratcs can order a person who has illegally entered Iraq to leave. As set
forth in CPA Regulalion Number l, the Administrator has the authority to
exercise this power as the pen<>n exercising all executive. lcsislative, and judicial
authority necessary to achieve the objectives of the CPA.
o Iraqi law does not specify any procedure or give a person ordered to leave any
right of review. Therefore, the Administrator's action In expelling a foreign
journalist would be measured against a reasonableness standard. So long as his
actions are not arbitrary or capricious, they would be pennitted. While not
required under Iraqi law, it would be advisable to pennit the illegal entrant to
submit a written statement regarding the matter much as Order 16 envisions for a
person whose permit has been revoked. A panel might then review the
individual's claim.sand make recommendations to the Administrator for his final
decision.
• Journalists, both foreign and domestic, would be considered 11prot.ccted persons" under
the 41t1 Geneva Convention. Article 49 does not, In general, permit the transference or
deportation of protected persons. This Article, however, must be interpreted in the
historical context of its creation as well as in a manner c:onsistent with the other
provisions of the Convention.
o The ICRC Commentary and other sources make clear that Article 49 was Intended
to prohibit actions similar to the mass deportations practiced by Nazi Germany in
World War II. "These mass transfers took place for the greatest possible variety
of reasons, mainly as a consequence of the formation of a forced labour service!'
The provision was, in effect, a codification of an established customary
international law principle which concerned the forcible deportation of whole
populatiom or segments for demographic and political objectives.
(Schwarzenberg pp. 227-232) There is no evkience that Article 49 was ever
intended to constrain an Occupying Power's auth. ority to expel those who enter
~ occupied territory and commit illegal acts such as incitement. In fact there
would be a positive obligation on the Ocwpyina Power to attempt to prevent
unhindered illegal entry in accord with its obligations as custodian of the State
and in relation to its responsibility for public order.
o Article 43 of the Hague Convention of 1907 creates an affirmative obligation on
the part of the Occupyin& Power to restore and ensure public order. The Israeli
Supreme Court found in the Abu Awad case that Article 49 ofGCIV "does not
reduce the obligation of the Occupying Power to tend to the preservation of public
order in the administered territory as dictated by Article 43 of the Hague
