Representatives from the World Justice Project (WJP) also participated virtually.<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">The workshop&#8217;s primary focus was to discuss the practical steps required to include Iraq in the international statistical rankings of the Rule of Law Index, overseen by the WJP. The session provided a detailed introduction to the ranking methodology and the legal and administrative prerequisites Iraq must fulfill. This created a platform for open dialogue among participants regarding the opportunities and challenges involved in this international integration process.<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">The workshop concluded with a set of key recommendations and findings emphasizing the implementation of international standards. The future goal is to continue these efforts by drafting a national roadmap to strengthen the foundations of the rule of law and secure Iraq\u2019s standing in international decision-making circles, ultimately reflecting positively on the country&#8217;s global status.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-acc0098 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"acc0098\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-97a6882\" data-id=\"97a6882\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2457ea2 elementor-arrows-position-outside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"2457ea2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 7\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/investigator-iol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/680448542_992268833146949_4537025379245577703_n-3.jpg\" alt=\"680448542_992268833146949_4537025379245577703_n-3\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2048px;
