Al-Waqai' al-Iraqiya Issue No. 3080

3/31/1952
to one of the following two excuses:-
1 - Illness.
2 - Study.
Paragraph (c) of this article has obligated the excused person, if his
excuse ceases, to return to Iraq within one month from the date of its cessation,
otherwise he is considered to have left Iraq permanently and Iraqi nationality
is dropped from him, and the provisions of Law No. 5 of 1951 shall apply to him.
Article 4 of it (Paragraph - a) stipulated the application of
the provisions of the original law and the regulations issued or to be issued
pursuant to it and the provisions of this law to every Iraqi Jew who
left Iraq with a passport before the first day of January
1948, and his assets shall be frozen in the following cases:-
1 - If he has not become accustomed to residing in a foreign country or has become accustomed to it
and the government saw that there is a reason for his return to Iraq.
b - If he does not convince the Secretary-General that he has an established commercial center
in a foreign country before the mentioned date and has a branch in
Iraq engaged in commercial transactions or vice versa, or if
he had that and the government saw that there is a reason for his return
to Iraq.
It was stated in Paragraph (2) of this Article 4:
The provisions of Article 2 of this supplement shall be observed for the purpose of applying
the provisions of this article.
The General Secretariat believes that its collection of administrative expenses
is justified by the provisions contained in the law, as Article
3 of Law No. (12 of 1951) exempted from the provisions of
Paragraph (c) of Article 2 those who prove within the authorized period
that their stay outside Iraq is based on the excuse of illness or
study, because the legislator, when finding in the case of the patient
and the student what warrants allowing them to stay, exempted them from returning
to Iraq within the legal period, but this does not mean exempting them from
paying administrative expenses at a time when the Secretariat remained
responsible for their assets since the issuance of the law and the seizure pursuant to it
until the submission of the application supported by their retention of Iraqi nationality.
As for those who base their stay outside Iraq on the excuse of being accustomed
to residing in the place where they live or being the owner of a commercial
establishment founded outside Iraq with a branch in Iraq or
vice versa. It appears from the provisions of Article 4 that it permitted
in its first paragraph the stay of those covered by the law outside Iraq if
one of these conditions is met, and it stipulated in its second paragraph
the observation of Paragraph (d) of Article 2 when applying the provisions of
this article. From scrutinizing the provisions of the mentioned Paragraph (d), it appears
that it discusses the collection of administrative expenses and the expenses
spent by the Secretary-General for the purpose of implementing the law from the frozen assets
belonging to the covered person, which is clearly understood that the
legislator considered the assets of those covered by Article 4 as frozen
and subject to the conditions of collecting administrative expenses upon
releasing them.
On March 19, 1952, the Special Interpretation Bureau met
from the individuals referred to above in the Court of
Cassation and issued its following decision:-
Article 3 of Law No. 12 of 1951
exempted the Iraqi Jew who traveled since the first day of
1948 from the provisions of Paragraph - c - of Article 2 if
he proves one of the two excuses mentioned therein, so the assets of this
Jew remain frozen and administrative expenses are collected for them until
the date the excuse is proven. In the event the excuse ceases and he does not return
to Iraq within the specified period, he is treated according to Paragraph (c) of
Article 3, his Iraqi nationality is dropped, and the provisions of
Law No. (5 of 1951) apply to him.
As for freezing according to Article 4, it is valid in the case of
not being accustomed to residing in the foreign country or being accustomed to it but
the government saw a reason for the return to Iraq. Likewise in
the case of the absence of an established commercial center in the foreign country
before the mentioned date, etc. In these cases, the assets of the
Jew are frozen and the provisions of Article 2 of the law apply to him
by virtue of the second paragraph of the mentioned Article 4.
But if one of the mentioned cases is not realized, then freezing is not
valid, and if freezing occurred, it should be lifted without collecting
any administrative expenses from it due to the absence of what requires it legally.
The decision was issued by consensus on March 19, 1952.

Decisions of the Board of Directors of the Custodianship of Frozen Property
Ownership of Frozen Jewish Property
The Board of Directors of the General Custodianship of Frozen Jewish Property has decided on the following rules to be followed
regarding the property that the Custodianship has seized after the issuance of the Law for Freezing
Jewish Property, and these are the texts -
1 - If the property was in the possession of a person among the Jews covered by the provisions of
the freezing laws and regulations, such as its presence in a warehouse belonging to him or under his disposal or supervision,
or placed as a trust by him with others, or registered in his books, or a claim or statement was made by
any person that the property he has belongs to a person covered by the provisions of these laws
and regulations, or its being registered in the Khanji's books in his name, or the person covered
by the freezing laws and regulations or his legal agent claimed that the property belongs to him, then in such
cases, the General Custodianship must continue to seize that property and apply the rule of
the law and regulation regarding it. Whoever claims otherwise may approach the court and file an entitlement lawsuit
specified in Article Seven of the Supplemental Law No. 12 of 1951. In this case,
the branches of the General Custodianship are not entitled to take any decision that contradicts this rule, no matter how
insignificant the property is.
2 - In cases other than the aforementioned, if a person covered by the provisions of the laws and regulations
pertaining to freezing claims that property seized by the Custodianship belongs to him, he must submit
the customs declarations issued in his name before the law came into effect, as well as a document including the opening of
the credit before the publication of the law, and enable the department to audit his organized record if he does not deny
the existence of a record with him, and also submit other documents requested from him by the competent official.
If these evidences and documents are free of flaws and consistent with the description of the property
claimed and its quantity specified in the official papers or purchase lists pertaining to the customs declarations,
and there is nothing in the Khanji's book indicating that it is registered in the name of a person covered by
the provisions of the law and its regulations, then the competent official, after taking the opinion of (the Custodianship of Rights and Commercial
Matters), shall propose its return to the one claiming its ownership, and the final decision
for return must be issued by the Custodian General or by his authorization by one of his assistants.
3 - If the documents support its ownership by a person not covered by the provisions of the freezing laws
and regulations, but his ownership of it came through purchase, acquisition, or agency from the person
covered by the provisions of these laws and regulations, then in this case, the claimant is informed to approach
the court to prove the entitlement claim, and the Custodianship continues its seizure.
4 - If it is claimed that the property was purchased by a person not covered by the law from
another person also not covered by it, and he supported his claim with local purchase documents confirmed by the seller, and there was not
one of the cases mentioned in the first paragraph of this decision, and there was also found what supports it in the books of
both parties if presented, or found in the Khanji's book if it exists, then the seizure shall be lifted.

Administrative Order
Since the remaining of frozen assets in safes, shops,
and other commercial establishments leads to risks and damages, therefore
it has been decided as follows:-
1 - Start immediately transferring all frozen assets to the warehouses of
the General Secretariat.
2 - In order to implement this order with speed and precision, we authorize the Secretary of
Administration and Correspondence to employ anyone who can be utilized
from among our employees and to cooperate with all secretaries, and
the secretaries must carry out this cooperation with all speed and attention.
3 - The locations containing frozen assets shall be identified and specific
days shall be allocated for transferring their contents to the warehouse, and in this case
the inventory committees shall be notified to attend at the designated
time and place.
4 - If a member of an inventory committee refuses or is delayed, the Secretary of Administration
and Correspondence shall appoint one of our employees in his place from those who accompany
the inventory committees, such as the inspector and others. If the inventory committee
refuses by a majority of its members or fails to attend, the Secretary of
Administration and Correspondence may appoint a new committee to deliver
the assets to the warehouses based on copies of the inventory lists
kept at the Secretariat of Commerce. If such
lists have not been previously submitted by the inventory committee, the Secretary of
Administration and Correspondence shall appoint a new inventory committee accompanied by
an assistant police director to inventory the frozen assets immediately and deliver them
at the same time to the Secretariat's warehouses after organizing a report
in this regard. In this case, the Secretary of
Administration and Correspondence must attend in person, as well as one of the inspectors of the General Secretariat
to monitor this work and confirm the inventory and delivery. If
a shortage occurs in the assets compared to what is in the initial inventory lists,
the responsibility for that falls on the inventory committee if it refuses
or delays its attendance.
5 - In view of the special importance attached to this operation,
the Inspection Secretariat is requested to take interest in the matter and cooperate
with the Secretary of Administration and Correspondence to conduct effective monitoring
and provide inspectors in every case requested by the Secretary of Administration
and Correspondence, especially in cases where the inventory committees
refuse or delay their attendance. The inspectors must respond to
the request of the Secretary of Administration and Correspondence immediately, even if it is not
in writing.
6 - The Secretariat of Commerce shall prepare copies of the inventory lists to match them
with the original lists remaining with the committees and ensure the delivery of
frozen assets according to what is stated therein to the warehouses. This
Secretariat must take all necessary measures for cooperation in this regard
and clarify to the Secretariat of Administration and Correspondence the decisions of the Central
Administrative Committee regarding the sale of some of these
assets while they are in their locations.
7 - No scratching or crossing out shall be accepted in the inventory lists.
8 - If a member of an inventory committee refuses or delays attendance
at the designated time after being notified, the provisions of the law
and the orders issued by this Secretariat shall apply to him. In this case,
the work must not be delayed; rather, the provisions of paragraph
(4) of this order shall be implemented.
9 - The Warehouse Secretariat must take the necessary measures to implement this order of ours.
10 - The Liquidation Secretariat must provide all facilities by providing
the employees needed by the Secretariat of Administration and Correspondence
and provide every assistance that leads us to the desired goal.
11 - His Excellency Mr. Ahmed Al-Souz shall represent us in monitoring the implementation
of this order and supervising the ongoing work according to
what is stated therein. The secretaries concerned with the matter must meet
with him to unify the plan and implement it and submit reports to us on
the progress of the work.

Issued by the Secretary-General
for the Supervision and Administration of the Property of Jews Deprived of Iraqi Nationality
1- We wish to draw attention to the provisions of Article 1 of Law No. (12) of 1951, which mandates the freezing of the property of Iraqi Jews who left Iraq with a passport as of the first day of the year 1948, with the exception of those to whom the provisions of Article 3 thereof apply. We request all natural and legal persons to provide this General Secretariat with what is required of them by Article 5 of Regulation No. (3) of 1951, published within our Statement No. (1) of 1951 issued in Al-Waqai' al-Iraqiya Issue No. 2942 dated 12-3-1951, noting that those of them who return to Iraq before the expiration of the period authorized in Article 3 shall have their frozen property returned to them.
2- As for Iraqi Jews who left Iraq before the first day of the year 1948 with a passport, their property shall be frozen according to the text of Article 4 of the aforementioned law in the following cases:
A - If they have not established habitual residence in a foreign country, or if they have, and the government deems there is a reason for their return to Iraq.
B - If the Secretary-General is not convinced that they have an established commercial center in a foreign country before the mentioned date and a branch in Iraq engaged in commercial transactions, or vice versa; or if they had such and the government deems there is a reason for their return to Iraq.
In view of the lack of information currently available to this General Secretariat regarding the fulfillment of the two cases mentioned above, we invite all persons concerned to provide us as soon as possible with all documents and information in their possession that support their fulfillment.
3- Pursuant to paragraph (A) of Article 1 of Regulation No. (3) of 1951, we have decided to seize all movable or immovable property belonging to the Iraqi Jews mentioned above, whether belonging to them personally or in their possession by way of insurance, lease, mortgage, or any other method, as well as the sale price, mortgage value, insurance, rent, growth, and rights resulting therefrom, as well as trusts, debts, cash, currencies, shares, bills of lading, convertible bonds, and any real or personal right belonging to them. Household furniture, subsistence materials, and personal clothing are excluded unless this Secretariat decides they are in excess of need, or minor items and amounts excluded by us.
4- We reiterate the importance of observing the provisions of Law No. (5) of 1951 and its supplement No. (12) of 1951, and we draw attention to the fact that violating their provisions entails punishment according to the provisions of Article 5 of the original law, which mandates imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years or a fine not exceeding four thousand dinars, or both.
