Baghdad , The head of the Integrity Commission, Judge Haider Hanoun, confirmed that the Integrity Commission is working on a fundamental issue in accordance with international agreements and treaties, the Iraqi constitution, and its applicable law is the vision of transparency.
Hanoun said that we must work to establish transparency to uncover corruption files.
He added: In the coming days, we will launch a national youth conference on the principle of the rule of justice from Kufa, in commitment to the approach of Imam Ali.
He continued: We will ask the world and the international community to establish the principle of the rule of justice first, then the rule of law.
Hanoun said that the constitutional text states that the accused is innocent until proven guilty, and this must be proven before the media and society.
He explained that the religious authority has put a finger on the wound and accurately identified the reasons and facts of the spread of the crime of drug use and trafficking, which is one
of the outcomes of corruption. He stressed that the religious authority’s words yesterday are sufficient evidence and a real project for a battle against corruption, and the media must deal with that approach in the correct manner.
Hanoun continued by saying: The religious authority’s words are a comprehensive roadmap that guarantees the elimination of the scourge of drugs and the crime of their trade and use.
He stressed that jumping over the texts of the constitution and pressuring institutions is part of corruption.
Hanoun added that the first theft was the theft of the texts of the constitution, so we must prevent intrusion and interference in the work of constitutional institutions, and we in the Integrity Commission monitor the performance of all institutions and detect any interference and deviation in the work of those institutions, and we will intervene to prevent any pressure and support those institutions.
He said that Iraq will be a real starting point for change in the region when we work to
undermine corruption and build and support constitutional institutions to curb the corrupt and complicit.
Hanoun thanked the Communications and Media Commission and all local media outlets for their continued support for anti-corruption efforts, addressing the media as the eye of the people and the state on public money and protecting the constitution. He said: Our work with the Commission and the media will be in accordance with an ongoing twinning to continue combating corruption and drug crime and protecting society.
For his part, the Chairman of the Communications and Media Commission, Ali Al-Muayyad, said that signing the memorandum of joint cooperation with the Integrity Commission made the Iraqi media protected by information and open doors in all state departments and welcomed in all constitutional institutions to uncover corruption and enhance transparency.
He added that the Integrity Commission succeeded in its work and restored citizens’ confidence in the state, the constitution and the law.
He
pointed out that the government’s directives to support all media outlets made the Communications and Media Commission responsible for joint and fruitful cooperation to convey the facts to the people and to interconnect work between all media bodies and institutions.
