Explanatory Grounds
Since the current trend, especially after the establishment of the Arab Regional Branch for Documents
in Baghdad, tends towards unifying the names of document institutions and departments in the Arab member states of
the aforementioned branch, and in view of the multiplicity of the center's duties and their not being limited to preserving documents related
to the history of Iraq, but rather extending to other aspects such as collecting, classifying, indexing, documenting,
displaying them in exhibitions, publishing them, and exchanging them with similar institutions. Therefore, this
law was enacted.

Third Amendment to Labor Law No. (151) of 1970
Article One - The text of Articles: (72), (73) and (74) of the Law is repealed and replaced by the following text:
Article Seventy-Two - a - The worker is entitled to a paid leave, twenty days for each year of work. He is entitled to a percentage of the leave for a fraction of the year equivalent to the percentage of the fraction.
b - In the first year of his work, the worker is not entitled to use his leave provided for in paragraph (a) of this Article, except after he has spent at least six months at work. However, if he leaves work before six months, he is entitled to a percentage of the annual leave equivalent to the percentage of his work period of the year.
c - Two days are added to the worker's annual leave for every five years of service following the effective date of this law. (Labor Law No. 151 of 1970).
d - Official holidays that occur during the worker's enjoyment of his leave shall not be counted as part of the annual leave.
e - The labor system (administrative or private) determines the times for workers to use their annual leaves, in a way that ensures no harm to the interest of work and production, and guarantees workers' enjoyment of their right to annual leave.
However, if the work facility does not have a special system, the worker may use his annual leave at the time he chooses. The worker's request must be met, unless there are serious necessities related to the nature or circumstances of the work that require delaying the granting of the leave. In this case, the worker is granted his leave as soon as the necessities that required the delay cease to exist.
Article Seventy-Three - The annual leave shall be one full month for workers who work in exhausting or harmful jobs, taking into account the provisions of Article (72) of this law.
Article Seventy-Four - a - The worker must enjoy his annual leave in full and at one time, to preserve his health and renew his vitality and activity, and for the purpose of his welfare and the development of his talents and technical and cultural capabilities.
However, if serious reasons related to the circumstances of the work or the worker prevent the use of the full annual leave at one time, it may be divided, on the basis of enjoying at least fourteen days of it at once, in the work year in which the leave is due, and enjoying the rest during a period not exceeding the end of the following work year.
b - The administration or the employer must grant the worker his annual leave in accordance with the provisions of this law and the labor regulations in force. In the event that it is proven that the worker was deprived of enjoying his annual leave within the period provided for in paragraph (a) of this Article, the worker shall be compensated with the full wages for the period of leave of which he was deprived. The administrative official or the employer shall be punished for this violation with a fine of not less than the wages paid for the period of deprivation.
c - The worker may not engage in any paid work during his enjoyment of his annual leave period.

The Revolution of July 17 announced, upon issuing Labor Law No. (151) of 1970, that it considers all the rights and gains established for workers in this law as - in the eyes of the Revolution - no more than the minimum of what it aspires to achieve.
And since the International Labour Conference, in its fifty-fourth session, approved Convention (132) regarding paid annual leave, and the methods of enjoying it according to the latest humanitarian and scientific concepts and methods.
And in line with the social policy committed to by the Revolution, aimed at developing labor legislation in the Iraqi Republic in a direction that always makes it at the forefront of international labor legislation.
Therefore, the Revolutionary Command Council, in its session held on 7-29-1973, approved the ratification of the aforementioned International Labour Convention No. (132), and the amendment of the provisions of the Labor Law in a manner that makes it consistent with the provisions of the said convention.
To achieve this purpose, this law was enacted.
