This is due not only to the historical difficulties faced by Iraqi constitutionalism, but also to the lack, according to researchers, of effective mechanisms for legal protection of the constitution. Among such mechanisms is the institution of parliamentary control in Iraq and its historical predecessors that has received virtually no coverage among Russian constitutional scholars, which determines the relevance of the study. The object of the study is the history and current state of parliamentary control in Iraq. Having proposed his own periodization of the history of Iraqi statehood, the author analyzes the main sources of legal regulation of parliamentary control in each of the identified historical periods, also referring to the assessments of applying constitutional provisions practice and assessments of contemporaries. The research method is the analysis of relevant normative regulation and practical implementation of constitutional norms on parliamentary control based on the assessments of constitutional scholars. The author concludes that the institution of parliamentary control in Iraq emerged in the late Ottoman era and strengthened in the first half of the XX century, after which it was dismantled for political, ideological and legal reasons. The author analyzes the current state of the institution of parliamentary control in Iraq, including atypical control powers of modern parliament. According to the author, their emergence is a reaction of the constitutional legislator to consistent oppression of mechanisms of popular representation, which, however, led to radicalization of the role of parliament in the system of separation of powers in Iraq.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Феномен иракского конституционализма традиционно вызывает скептическое отношение исследователей. Это обусловлено не только историческими трудностями, с которыми столкнулся иракский конституционализм, но и отсутствием, по мнению исследователей, действенных механизмов правовой охраны конституции. К числу таких механизмов относится институт парламентского контроля, состояние которого в Ираке и его исторических предшественниках практически не получило освещения среди российских ученых-конституционалистов, чем и обусловливается актуальность исследования. Объектом исследования стали история и современное состояние парламентского контроля в Ираке. Предложив собственную периодизацию истории иракской государственности, автор анализирует основные источники правового регулирования парламентского контроля в каждый из выделенных исторических периодов, обращаясь также к оценкам практики применения конституционных положений и оценкам современников. Методом исследования стал анализ релевантного нормативного регулирования и анализ практической реализации конституционных норм о парламентском контроле на основе оценок ученых-конституционалистов. Автор приходит к выводу, что институт парламентского контроля в Ираке возникает в эпоху позднего османского владычества и укрепляется в первой половине XX века, после чего фактически демонтируется по политическим и идеолого-правовым соображениям. Автор анализирует современное состояние института парламентского контроля в Ираке, в том числе и нетипичные контрольные полномочия. По мнению автора, их возникновение является реакцией конституционного законодателя на последовательное угнетение механизмов народного представительства, которая, однако, привела к радикализации роли парламента в системе разделения властей Ирака.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>parliament</kwd><kwd>parliamentarism</kwd><kwd>separation of powers</kwd><kwd>assembly</kwd><kwd>constitution</kwd><kwd>constitutionalism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>парламент</kwd><kwd>парламентаризм</kwd><kwd>разделение властей</kwd><kwd>представительный орган</kwd><kwd>конституция</kwd><kwd>конституционализм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Arjomand, S.A.
