Interim government of Iraq

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Iraqi interim government was officially installed on June 28, 2004 by the head of the US civil administration, Paul Bremer . On May 28 and June 1, 2004, the Iraqi Government Council , the UN Special Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi and the US civil administration under Paul Bremer reached an agreement on the state presidency and the interim government, which took over power in Iraq on June 28 :

The list of ministers includes 28 specialist ministers, including:

There were also three ministers without a portfolio. It represents, for example, the ethnic proportion between Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds. Ten ministers were already in the last cabinet, five are women, and six remained in their previous office. Most of the ministers belonged to the previous government council, which has now been dissolved.

On 6 June 2004, the transitional government and the US agreed on their military cooperation, a temporary stay of foreign troops, and paved the way for the new Iraq resolution No. 1,546th that of the UN - Security Council voted unanimously on 8 June.

With these decisions, however, "everyday political life" did not begin. The extremists carried out attacks on June 1 , and the new ministers had little time to raise their profile politically. In an unstable situation and without sufficient documentation, they had to prepare the elections for December (or January 2005 at the latest ). In July they faced a vote of confidence in a national assembly of around 60 people . This was built up by UN special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi in countless contacts with political and religious groups based on the model of the Afghan Loja Dchirga .

The interim government ruled until early 2005. On January 30, 2005, the first free elections since Saddam Hussein took place in Iraq, and in May 2005 the new Iraqi government was sworn in.
