Explanatory Grounds
Iraqi Jews present in Iraq have faced great difficulties
as a result of the application of this paragraph, in addition to the fact that maintaining it
contradicts the goals of the Revolution and the Provisional Constitution, which stipulates equality among Iraqis
in rights and duties. Furthermore, the principle of revoking Iraqi nationality contradicts the spirit
of the Constitution, considering that nationality is a natural right for every citizen that cannot be taken away
merely because they were late in returning to Iraq within the period specified for them in the passport. Their
delay may be for unavoidable reasons such as trade or medical treatment. Moreover, the aforementioned
limitation hinders the travel of persons, as representatives of the countries to which the person
is traveling often refuse to grant them an entry visa or the right of residence. For this reason, and since
the reasons that necessitated the issuance of the aforementioned legislation have ceased to exist, this
draft has been prepared.

Explanatory Grounds
Some simple soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and conscripts were forced by their living conditions to be absent from their units or to default from service. For the purpose of providing an opportunity for these individuals to return to service in the army and perform their sacred duty, and on the occasion of the glorious Army Day on January 6, 1960, it was decided to exempt them from the penalties resulting from that. On this basis, the draft Law of Amnesty for Absentees and Defaulters No. (12) of 1960 was enacted.
