The Federal Integrity Commission’s powers in combating administrative corruption

Abstract

Abstract: Corruption is a scourge that eats away at the body of the state. Wherever corruption is found, there is injustice, oppression, persecution, classism and everything negative, because corruption corrupts society before it corrupts the state and its pillars. Since corruption is so ugly and inferior, there must be appropriate solutions to this deadly disease. Countries have begun to look for treatments and measures to confront this great monster, and these measures had to be strong and great in order to be able to confront it correctly. Many countries have established bodies and institutions for this purpose, and Iraq was one of these countries that established the Federal Integrity Commission to confront the problem of corruption that has spread in all joints of the state, especially after the entry of the American occupation and its corruption of all Iraqi institutions, especially the military ones. The Integrity Commission was established pursuant to the Coalition Provisional Authority Order No. (55) of 2004, and after that, the Integrity Commission Law No. (30) of 2011 was issued, and this law was the constitution of the Commission’s work. Therefore, the Integrity Commission is the first line of defense in confronting corruption in Iraq by taking preventive and deterrent measures and policies through its powers and competencies that Granted by law, it has achieved many results by trapping many corrupt people in the government’s trap, as well as working to recover a lot of stolen money and many results that were the reason for the decline in corruption rates in Iraq after they were very high in previous years..
