Chapter IV Fundamental Rights

Part I General Provisions

Article 27 Human Rights

  1. The Republic of Iraq acknowledges liberty and equality of all humans.
  2. Human dignity must be respected in any case.
  3. Everyone is free to do or not to do whatever he or she chooses. Everyone is responsible for acts freely chosen.
  4. The Republic of Iraq ensures that the quality of an Iraqi shall never be held in doubt because of faith, belief or presumed loyalty.
  5. People have rights for no other reason than that they exist as individual human beings. These rights are not a gift from others.
  6. Slavery is abolished.

Article 28 Applicability

  1. Fundamental rights apply to natural persons, domestic and foreign, who are assigned these rights. They apply to legal persons, domestic and foreign, where, and to the extent that, the nature of the rights permits.
  2. Fundamental rights are inviolable and inalienable. They include the freedom not to make use of them. Their exercise may, in single instances, be waved by free and responsible declaration of the right holder, but such declaration is never binding for future instances.
