Undoubtedly, legislation and decisions, which represent the cornerstone of state administration and government operations, should not be enacted randomly. Rather, they must be passed with utmost care and based on urgent necessity. The abundance of legislation and decisions is not considered a positive practice, whether by the legislative or the executive authority.
Therefore, it’s essential to establish strategic plans through careful reading, analysis, and research into society’s actual need for such legislation and decisions, while also prioritizing them appropriately. This calls for the presence of a governmental institution tasked with overseeing this matter, composed of experts and academics, in addition to the creation of advanced research centers dedicated to measuring the impact of legislation and decisions. If this approach were to be implemented in Iraq, the outcome would inevitably be high-quality and well-structured legislation and decisions, organized into strategies of short, medium, and long-term scope.
Such an effort must also take into consideration societal and environmental changes, human resources, population growth, the availability of resources and budgetary funding sources such as oil and gas, as well as the increasing rate of government spending in the face of limited resources. All these factors should be studied in such research centers, where legislation is refined, filtered, and then presented for discussion and voting.
