I am a highly experienced professional with a diverse legal, elections, and training background. I have made significant contributions to developing and improving electoral processes in Iraq. Throughout my career, I have provided technical advice and assistance to the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC), focusing on drafting amendments to electoral laws, regulations, and rules to meet international standards while considering Iraq's unique circumstances.
My expertise extends to promoting inclusivity and transparency in elections, with a particular emphasis on women's participation as voters and candidates. I have advised on fraud mitigation strategies and helped develop mechanisms for regulating and monitoring campaign finances. Additionally, I have been actively involved in electoral dispute resolution and the adjudication of electoral complaints.
In my capacity as a trainer and expert, I have collaborated closely with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) to draft procedures and training manuals for various IHEC departments. I have conducted training sessions for key stakeholders, including the Elections Judicial Panel, Councilors Committee, and political parties' representatives, to enhance their understanding of international standards for free and fair elections.
Beyond my electoral work, I have demonstrated a commitment to legal education and research. I taught courses on Constitutional Law, Human Rights, and Political Systems, guiding undergraduate students in their research on various public law issues. Additionally, I have organized training sessions for the public and law enforcement personnel, focusing on topics such as human rights.
My research experience includes a study on corruption in public offices in Iraq. Through this study, I identified the factors contributing to corrupt practices and proposed measures to control corruption, highlighting the role of political parties, the judicial system, and political leaders in combating corruption.
Furthermore, I have demonstrated my administrative and legal acumen by serving as a chief legal and executive officer, overseeing all legal and administrative matters. I have represented my college in court proceedings and successfully handled various legal cases.
Overall, my extensive experience in legal and electoral matters, my commitment to promoting democracy and transparency, and my research on corruption make me a highly qualified candidate for roles related to democratic governance, politics, and anti-corruption initiatives.
