https://doi.org/10.31272/ipj.54.2Abstract
This research attempts to study some of the laws of the intelligence agencies in certain countries in terms of organizing and supervising these agencies, as these agencies play an important and fundamental role in protecting national security and supporting the rule of law. Its direct objective is to collect, analyze and disseminate information that helps policy makers take the necessary measures to protect national security, which includes the protection of individuals and their private rights.
This research deals with the problem of weak legislative drafting of the Iraqi Intelligence Law of 2013 in many aspects, the most important of which is its extreme brevity and linking it to other laws of a civil nature.
The research adopted a comparative analytical methodology that examined the constitutions of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Republic of Iraq, with an analysis and comparison of intelligence laws in those countries.
The research is divided into two main chapters in addition to the introduction and conclusion. The first chapter is titled The Concept of Intelligence, while the second one is titled Legal Provisions for the Intelligence Service.
