Succession Case No. 111 / M / 967
Date - 24 / 10 / 967
Judge Mr. Hazim al-Dabbouni:
It has been established by the statement submitted to this court from the Presidency of the Mosaic Sect in Baghdad under number 1894
dated 3/9/967 and the testimony of the two witnesses, lawyer Mr. Yaqub Abdul Aziz and Naeem
Daoud Munshi al-Attar, residents of the Al-Saadoun neighborhood, that Yaqub Haskil Yusuf Lawi died on
21/8/967 and his inheritance is limited to his wife Rachel Munshi Hakkak and his adult children Munshi Maurice,
Ezra, Yusuf, Madeline, and Jolene. Upon inquiry from the Directorate General of Nationality, it responded
in its letter numbered 847 / 4815 and dated 24/9/967 that the deceased and his son Yusuf
retain Iraqi nationality, and that the rest of the heirs have had their Iraqi nationality revoked. Upon inquiry
regarding the current nationality of those whose nationality was revoked and whether they currently reside in occupied Palestine,
it responded in its letter numbered 848 / 5118 and dated 10/10/1967 that it is impossible to know
their nationalities and places of residence at the present time. Accordingly, and since an heir must be deprived of his inheritance
in this case by verifying that he is in a territory of war (Dar al-Harb) to fulfill the condition of difference of territories, and since this has not been
officially proven, and due to the possibility of their presence in other countries, it was decided to consider all the aforementioned as heirs.
The inheritance issue is corrected from seventy-two shares, of which nine shares go to Rachel Munshi Hakkak,
whose nationality was revoked (under the administration of the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets of Jews). For the Iraqi Yusuf
Yaqub Haskil Lawi, fourteen shares. For each of those whose Iraqi nationality was revoked,
Munshi and Ezra, fourteen shares (under the administration of the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets). And for each of those whose
nationality was revoked, Madeline and Jolene, seven shares (under the administration of the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets), in accordance
with the provisions of the Personal Status Law Amendment Law No. 81 of 963. Note that the heir Yusuf
submitted the preliminary report to the Directorate of Income Tax, Real Estate, and Companies, as stated in its letter numbered
45 / 4 / 3820 dated 12/9/967, and his request to organize the succession.

Explanatory Statement
It has been observed that some Jews acquired foreign nationality before the enforcement of Law No. (5) of 1951 and continued to pretend to enjoy Iraqi nationality after its enforcement by means of fraud and circumvention of the competent authorities. Therefore, it was necessary to apply the provisions of paragraph (1) of Article Eight of Law No. (12) of 1951 against them by freezing their assets to prevent any disposal thereof by them. To ensure this, this law was enacted.

First Case (Medical Treatment)
1 - The illness must be confirmed by a medical report issued by a special official medical body in Iraq, stating that medical necessity requires treatment outside Iraq.
2 - The patient is allowed to stay outside Iraq for the duration specified in the medical report, plus an additional thirty days for emergencies.
3 - The patient may be accompanied by another person from their ascendants or descendants, or the husband or wife, to care for them throughout the period the patient is allowed to stay, if the report states that the patient's condition requires it.
4 - The Iraqi mission may accept the medical report granted by a recognized medical body outside Iraq to an Iraqi Jew residing there for the purpose of treatment after its certification by the aforementioned mission, stating that the patient's health condition requires staying abroad for another period, provided that its duration does not exceed four months. However, if the duration of the report exceeds that, or if the Jew submits another report before the end of the period granted to them involving an extension of their stay abroad, the mission must in both cases send the report to the Directorate of General Security to present it to the medical committee mentioned in Paragraph (1) to confirm that the illness requires treatment outside Iraq and that the duration stated in the report requires the patient to remain abroad for treatment.
5 - A sick Jew may not stay outside Iraq by virtue of medical reports for a period exceeding one year in all cases, and if they require another period for treatment, they must return to Iraq to present themselves to the special official medical body.

3 - The Jewish student must approach the Iraqi mission abroad to extend their passport annually after submitting official documents proving their continuation of study, the type of study, and the stage reached, provided that these documents are certified by the cultural attaché. After the Iraqi mission verifies these documents and ensures that the situation of the Jewish student indicates that they truly intend to study seriously and are continuing to do so, it shall decide, after observing what was mentioned in Paragraph (2), to extend their passport and notify the Directorate of General Security of the extension and provide it with the mentioned documents.
4 - A Jewish student who intends to change their field of study must submit the necessary documents for that from the educational institute certified by the cultural attaché, and after approval by the Iraqi mission, it shall be sent to the Directorate of General Security for approval.
2 - Upon the publication of these instructions, an Iraqi Jew residing abroad for the purpose of treatment by virtue of a medical report accepted by the competent authorities shall be allowed to stay there for the period specified therein. This period may be extended in accordance with the provisions of these instructions, provided that the previously granted period and the extension period do not exceed one year.
3 - Jewish students who have completed twenty-seven years of age at the time of publication of these instructions must return to Iraq within one month of completing their academic year in the institutes where they are studying.

Explanatory Grounds
It appeared during the application of the laws for the revocation of <del>Iraqi</del> nationality and freezing that there are a number of Iraqi Jews
who revoked their Iraqi nationality under names other than their known names under which their properties
were registered in the Land Registry (Tapu) offices, and that there are others for whom no record appeared in the records of
revocation of Iraqi nationality nor in the records of those who retained it, and that there is another group of Iraqi Jews
property owners who died before the issuance of the freezing laws and left heirs among the Iraqi Jews for whom it was difficult
for the competent authorities after the issuance of the freezing laws to determine their nationality due to the unknown nature of their
place of residence and the lack of records for them in the registers related to the revocation or retention of nationality, and there
is also a number of Iraqi Jews who left Iraq a long time ago and acquired foreign nationalities without
the Iraqi authorities being aware of it, so their funds in Iraq remained a matter of doubt because the date
on which they acquired foreign nationality was not determined, as this is of utmost importance regarding the periods specified by
the legislator in the laws for the revocation of Iraqi nationality, as such persons might be subject to the provisions of
revocation of Iraqi nationality from them before their acquisition of foreign nationality. For the purpose of establishing legal solutions for the
aforementioned problems and their like, a paragraph has been added to Article 5 of Law 12 of 1951 to address
this.

Explanatory Grounds
For the Law Repealing Law No. (11) of 1960
Whereas the reasons for which Law No. (12) of 1951 was enacted still exist, given
the departure of a large number of Iraqi Jews abroad without <del>returning</del> coming back, and that the forfeiture of Iraqi
nationality for them is carried out because of their failure to return and the proof of their lack of loyalty to Iraq and the departure of some of them to
Israel, which necessitates freezing their assets. And since the national interest requires keeping the text of paragraph
(b) of Article Five of Law No. (12) of 1951 in force, this law was therefore enacted for that purpose.

After reviewing the interim constitution and based on what was presented by the Minister of Justice and approved by
the Council of Ministers -
The following law has been ratified: -

thirteenth day of the month of January in the year 1960.
Sovereignty Council
The Ministers
Iraqi Jews residing in Iraq have been exposed to many difficulties as a result of -
the application of this paragraph against them, in addition to the fact that maintaining it contradicts the goals of the revolution and the interim
constitution, which stipulates equality among Iraqis in rights and duties, and that the principle of revoking
Iraqi citizenship contradicts the spirit of the constitution, considering that citizenship is a natural right for every citizen that cannot be
taken away from them simply because they delayed 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, and the mentioned limitation is something that
obstructs the travel of individuals, as representatives of the countries to which the person travels often refrain from granting
the entry visa or the right of residency; for this, and since the reasons that necessitated the issuance of the mentioned legislation
have ceased to exist, this bill has been prepared.
