The Federal Supreme Court of Iraq (FSC) is a financially and administratively independent judicial body and one of Iraq’s two apex courts. As the final court of appeal having the exclusive jurisdiction to interpret the provisions of the Constitution of Iraq, it effectively functions as the constitutional court.
In addition to determining the constitutionality of laws and regulations, FSC reviews the application of federal laws, as well as settles disputes between the federal government, federal regions, governorates, municipalities, and local administrations. It also settles accusations directed against the President, the Prime Minister and the Ministers, and ratifies the final results of the general elections for the Council of Representatives. Since 2024, the court has expanded its authorities to include the power to amend regional legislation, such as those passed by the Kurdistan Region Parliament.
