Presentation, March 1, by CM

At 4:20 am, on March 1, 2004, the Iraqi Governing Council agreed unanimously on what was being discussed as the "Administrative Law for the Interim Period", described increasingly as "the interim Constitution".

This is an appropriate moment to join the efforts in the distillation of an appropriate constitutional framework that will serve the interests of the Iraqi peoples, and the region at large.

This website section, which will be autonomous as soon as the discussion gets enriched with historical and current material for the debate, features some of the press coverage surrounding the agreement, and offers background texts to enrich the ongoing discussion for the future of Iraqi democracy.
