32. Are there specific labor
regulations/laws for domestic and
foreign workers, such as pensions,
health/life insurance and training
requirements?
Yes. These include Labor Law, the Iraqi
social security law and related laws and
regulations with respect to foreign
employment in Iraq. A new draft Labor
Law has been passed by the Iraqi Council
of Representatives (Iraqi Parliament). Iraq
has also signed other international
agreements on labor. Before launching any
activities, companies must deposit the
equivalent of three months’ worth of social
security payments for each of its employees
with the Retirement and Social Security
Department under the Ministry of Labor
and Social Affairs.

Retirement and Social Pension
Organization,” p. 34.
33. Does Iraq have specific
environmental requirements (e.g.,
disposal, pollution controls)?
Yes. The Environmental Protection and
Improvement Law No. 27 of 2009 sets forth
specific environmental requirements,
including the preparation and submission of
an environmental impact assessment for
every project. The purpose of such a study
is to eliminate and treat current and any
possible future damage, as well as to
safeguard public health, natural resources,
biodiversity, cultural and natural heritage
and prohibit all activities that contribute to
environmental pollution.

Requirements” in Section III of this Legal
