The Constitutional and Legal Framework for Nanotechnology in Iraq (A Study of Government Applications and Their Impact on Fundamental Rights)

Abstract

Abstract: This research examines the constitutional and legal framework for nanotechnology in Iraq (a study of government applications and their impact on fundamental rights), which is a modern topic that has seen widespread development in various fields, including health, the environment, and defense. The research focuses on the extent to which Iraqi legislation can regulate this technology in the absence of specific laws given its impact on fundamental human rights such as the right to life, security, and a healthy environment. The research discusses the role of the Iraqi constitution in providing the necessary protection for these rights, touching on the most important constitutional principles that can be used to regulate nanotechnology, such as the principle of the rule of law and the principle of precaution. The researcher concluded that Iraqi legislation is weak in regulating this technology, which has created a legislative gap that requires intervention to amend legislative texts to keep pace with technological developments in order to protect individuals from the risks that may arise from this technology.
