Media laws at Iraq
Media laws in Iraq have evolved significantly over the past two decades, particularly after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003. The transition from an authoritarian state to a more democratic structure has brought about changes in the country’s media laws, but challenges related to press freedom, censorship, political interference, and journalist safety remain significant issues. Here’s an overview of the media laws in Iraq:
Freedom of Expression: The Constitution of Iraq (2005) guarantees freedom of expression under Article 38, which states that "the State shall guarantee the freedom of expression by speech, writing, and other means of expression." This was a major step forward for Iraq, ensuring that citizens and journalists could voice opinions without fear of government reprisal.
However, the Constitution also imposes limitations on freedom of expression.
