Federal Supreme Court of Iraq

The Federal Supreme Court of Iraq^[a] (FSC) is the independent judicial body of Iraq that interprets the constitution and determines the constitutionality of laws and regulations. It acts as a final court of appeals, settles disputes among or between the federal government and the regions and governorates, municipalities, and local administrations, and settles accusations directed against the President, the Prime Minister and the Ministers. It also ratifies the final results of the general elections for the Council of Representatives.^[2] The Supreme Court is composed of a president, a deputy, and seven primary members. Federal law stipulates that proportional representation of the components of Iraqi society must be guaranteed in its composition.^[3] In practice, this has meant that it is composed of five Shi'ites, two Sunnis, and two Kurds.
