As part of the “Building Peace and Security in Iraq” project, the Investigator Organization for Supporting Rule of Law and Democracy (IOL), in partnership with the Ministry of Justice of Iraq, in coordination with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and with financial support from UKaid, conducted a workshop for members and representatives of the Ministry of Justice in Baghdad on 11 and 12 December 2025.
During the workshop, facilitated by International Expert Mohammed Tameemi, the “Ministry of Justice Implementation Plan” for 2025–2029 was developed. Participants focused on mechanisms for implementing the plan, identifying the necessary requirements and resources, and establishing assessment criteria to ensure that the proposed steps are practical and implementable, and fully aligned with the National Strategy for Strengthening the Rule of Law and the roadmap for the next five years.
This activity represents the first practical step towards initiating the implementation of the Ministry of Justice’s responsibilities and initiatives within the framework of the strategy. The outcomes of the workshop provide a solid foundation for the next stages and will contribute to enabling the other ministries participating in the strategy to move forward with the implementation of their respective practical steps.
In this way, this step marks an important milestone in facilitating the transition from the development and formulation of the strategy to its practical implementation phase, contributing to the building of a more stable state grounded in the rule of law.
