BAGHDAD, June 25: Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court postponed on Wednesday its review of appeals submitted by Iraqi President Abdullatif Rashid and Prime Minister Mohammad Al-Sudani regarding the Khor Abdullah agreement between Kuwait and Baghdad, to July 30. According to the court’s schedule, these two sessions will be held as postponed sessions and without pleadings. Iraq’s President Abdullatif Rashid and Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani launched separate appeals against a Federal Supreme Court decision to render an agreement regulating navigation in the Khor Abdullah waterway between Baghdad and Kuwait unconstitutional.

In September of 2023, Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court ruled that a bilateral agreement regulating navigation in the Khor Abdullah waterway was unconstitutional, a decision Kuwait said contained “historical fallacies”.(KUNA)
