ISHM: May 25 – June 1, 2023

Key Takeaways:

  • Draft Budget Changes Raise Strong KRG Objections; Iraq’s Top Court Says Extending The Kurdistan Parliament’s Term Was Unconstitutional – On May 25, the parliamentary finance committee made several last minute amendments to the 2023-2025 federal budget bill. The changes, which require the KRG to compensate public servants for withholdings made during the region’s economic crisis that began in 2015, raised strong objections from the KRG. Regional PM Masrour Barzani accused the finance committee of trying to derail existing agreements with PM Sudani Sudani, which he said were “the foundation” of cooperation between Baghdad and Erbil. Barzani argued that the withholdings should be repaid by the federal government since they were the result of Baghdad’s decision to cut the KRG budget. The finance committee’s changes seem to have the support of the PUK. On May 30, Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court ruled that a vote by the Kurdistan region’s parliament in October of last year to extend its term by one year was illegal, rendering the regional legislature’s fifth cycle “over” and any decisions it made after the extension “constitutionally invalid.” The case challenging the extension was filed at the time by the New Generation opposition party. In response to the Court’s decision, the ruling KDP issued a statement calling on all Kurdish parties to “cooperate to hold transparent and fair elections.” In other developments, on May 30, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2682, extending UNAMI’s mandate for one year. On May 30, Iraq’s Planning Ministry said that conducting a population census will not be possible this year, citing delays in approving the federal budget as the main reason. more…

Retro: 100 years of Le Mans: Dutch winners Gijs van Lennep and Jan Lammers

Le Mans Lenape 1976 victory
Gijs van Lennep (left) wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jacky Ickx in a Porsche 936 in 1976, his last race

Next week, on 10 and 11 June, will be the 91st edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, celebrating the centenary of the French endurance classic. In the run-up to the race, we take a look at aspects of its rich history. Today: Dutch successes.

Even before the war, the Dutch were Le Mans debutants: Eddy Hertzberger drove there twice, in 1935 and 1937, but it was not until 1971 that a Dutchman stood on the top step of the podium for the first time. That year Gijs van Lennep hired Dr. Helmut Marko in the Porsche 917 of the Martini Racing Team, led by Hans-Dieter Dechante.

Van Lennep’s victory was a resounding motorsport success: the distance record he set together with Marko stood until 2010. With his performance, van Lennep says he silenced even the critics in the Netherlands: “At least they can’t complain about the victory at Le Mans in Holland”, as he is quoted in ‘Auto Review’ magazine. it was done.

The victory was by no means certain: Ferdinand Piëch instructed the winning Porsche’s brake discs to be pierced to save weight and for extra ventilation, but the brake discs began to show hairline cracks during the race. Had the team changed discs, the victory might have…

Security Council extends mandate of UN mission for Iraq

UNITED NATIONS, May 30 (Xinhua) — The UN Security Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution to extend the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) for another year until May 31, 2024, while retaining its core tasks.

Resolution 2682, which won the unanimous support of the 15-member Security Council, requested that the UN secretary-general’s special representative for Iraq and UNAMI prioritize the provision of advice, support and assistance to the government and people of Iraq on advancing inclusive, political dialogue and national and community-level reconciliation.

The council also requested the special representative and UNAMI to further advise and assist the government of Iraq in strengthening electoral preparation and processes to ensure free and fair elections.

Meanwhile, the Security Council requested the special representative and UNAMI to promote, support and facilitate, in coordination with the Iraqi government, the timely, voluntary and dignified return or local integration of internally displaced persons and displaced Iraqis in Syria.

The resolution further requested the UN secretary-general to conduct and provide the Security Council, no later than March 31, 2024, with an independent strategic review of UNAMI, in consultation with the Iraqi government and other sides, assessing current threats to Iraq’s peace and security, as well as the continued relevance of UNAMI’s tasks and priorities.

UNAMI is a political mission established by the Security Council in 2003 at the request of the Iraqi government in the wake of the invasion of Iraq by a U.S.-led coalition. Enditem
