Characteristics of delegation of administrative authority in the Iraqi legal system

Abstract

Abstract: This study summarizes the search for the characteristics of delegation as a balanced system and as a method to improve administrative performance in application of laws and regulations to break administrative bureaucracy and maintain the necessary controls and oversight to limit any abuse or abuse of delegated authority. Administrative delegation is of great importance in achieving flexibility and speed in making decisions, and reducing the burden on higher authorities. However, at the same time, it may lead to ambiguity of powers and weak oversight of the exercise of delegated authority, which may open the door to the abuse of this authority unless it is governed by restrictions and controls.
