Study Notes

Principle of Judicial Independence

The principle of judicial independence ensures that the judiciary is free from interference from other branches of government (executive and legislative).
This means the judiciary is not subject to the influence of the legislative branch, despite being elected by the people, nor is it subject to the dominance of the executive branch, which often possesses greater power and resources compared to the legislative and judicial branches.
The independence and impartiality of the judiciary are essential guarantees for protecting human rights from violation, aggression, or arbitrariness.
Without an independent judiciary, there is no value in enshrining human rights and freedoms in constitutions and laws, as they would not be effectively protected.
The Iraqi Constitution of 2005 explicitly states this principle, affirming that "the judiciary is independent, and no authority is above the law".
