Employment contracting procedures in Iraq and Lebanon and administrative control over them

Abstract

The contracting process, like other actions carried out by the administration, must be in accordance with the foundations, controls and procedures specified by the legislator. The aim of this is to achieve the principle of equality among individuals nominated to fill the position to be contracted for. To ensure the administration’s commitment to these procedures, the administration must be subject to administrative oversight, whether internal oversight by the administration itself or external oversight carried out by independent oversight bodies to ensure that the administration does not arbitrarily select and to remove sectarian, partisan or tribal tendencies in selecting contractors.
