Abstract

During the wave of movements to end colonialism in the 20th century, the League of Nations was the first to recognise Iraq as a legal sovereign state. It also became a place where early development laboratory projects for examining sovereignty. In light of this regard, this article suggests to probe Iraq sovereignty from the prospective of International Law. In order to accomplish this, I begin by analysing the deviation of sovereignty meaning specially after U.S.A invasion of Iraq. The analysing also included Iraqi sovereignty and the multinational corporations and the accidents that these companies were committed. The study adopted a descriptive and content analysis as an effective approach. The results indicated that Iraqi sovereignty is still oscillating from its existing in reality and its absence. The Iraq law system also lack to law frames that could delineate the international investment in Iraq. The international law is influenced by opaques in dealing with Iraq as a special case of sovereignty.
