Baghdad/ Media of the Federal Supreme Court
The President of the Federal Supreme Court, Judge Jassim Al-Amiri, received on Sunday the head of the Iraqi Media Network, Karim Hammadi, and discussed mechanisms of joint cooperation in various fields.
The President of the Federal Supreme Court, Judge Jassim Al-Amiri, welcomed the visit of the head of the Iraqi Media Network, Karim Hammadi, and congratulated him on the occasion of his assumption of the position of director of the Iraqi Media Network.
Judge al-Amiri pointed to "the pivotal role played by the Iraqi Media Network in all its joints in supporting the needs of citizens and addressing education and awareness-raising, in addition to confronting the smear campaigns carried out by some media outlets."
He pointed out that "the judiciary was characterized under the constitution by complete independence from the legislative and executive authorities, and this independence under articles 89, 87 and 88 of the constitution is institutional independence and individual independence," pointing out that "institutional independence is the independence of the judiciary from the legislative and executive authorities, while individual independence is the independence of judges in their work from any external influence."
"Iraq's constitution, which came into force in 2005, represented a birth that embodied the suffering of the Iraqi people in a past in which an individual dictatorial regime took control of the reins and the values, principles and blood of the Iraqi people were expropriated, while in its present it represents the sacrifice made by the people in their fight against terrorist gangs represented by al-Qaeda and ISIS," he said.
For his part, Hammadi thanked the President of the Federal Supreme Court for the warm reception, stressing "the role played by the Iraqi Media Network in supporting the political system, enhancing public confidence in it and highlighting various service projects."
"There is a new programme cycle focused on educating citizens about the dangers and consequences of financial and administrative corruption, as well as drugs, in addition to enhancing the citizen's role in supporting government efforts in providing services," he said.
"The Iraqi Media Network, represented by all its institutions, provides all media support to judicial institutions and the Federal Supreme Court and its pivotal role in consolidating the constitution, implementing its provisions and defending the rights of the people," he said.
