| Summary: | The development of a regulatory
framework which meets international standards is a major
concern in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region,
as it is key not only to fostering economic development but
also to ensuring the wellbeing of its citizens. To achieve
this goal, it is important to: create a sound institutional
structure; employ staff qualified in law drafting; set up
efficient procedures for co-ordination and consultation; and
ensure that the possible impact of new legal instruments is
assessed before adopted. The prime objective of the World
Bank in supporting the KRG Shura Council remains an improved
guide consistent with international standards that can be
used by all relevant parties in charge of drafting all types
of legislation in the KRG. In keeping with better regulation
principles, the authority and impact of the guide are to be
achieved more by the relevance of its contents and the
quality of its practical advice than by the strength of the
legal instrument that seeks to enforce it. This will help to
maximize the benefits of the guide in the KRG. In this
context, the official use of the guide to legislative
drafting should become mandatory. This could be achieved
either through making the guide an integral part of a new
law on legislative drafting to be passed by the parliament
in the KRG under penalty of 0ity of any draft law that
violates this rule. |
