(Legal regulation of appointment to public office in accordance with Iraqi legislation)

Appointment in the public office is one of the important issues in the modern era, especially after the development of the role of the state and its transition from the guardian state to the state that provides a service to the people through the practice of accompanying activities through its various tools, and public officials are its tools through which these activities are exercised through them They represent it and work for it and therefore its success depends on the good selection of its employees.The various legislations did not define the appointment in a precise and clear manner, but they organized the conditions, procedures and mechanisms for their appointment and their legal positions in advance and imposed on all of this their various control tools to ensure justice and equality between applicants and to preserve the principle of legitimacy.The issue of organizing legal appointment in Iraqi legislation is of great importance as it sheds light on how these legislations organize this important process, especially since the public employee is the face of the state and its success in carrying out its activities depends on the good selection of its employees on the basis of competence and in a manner that guarantees justice and equality among all.The Iraqi legislator entrusted the judiciary with monitoring the good selection of employees, which depends on general principles, the most important of which are efficiency, merit, equality and achieving justice.As a result, the concept of the employee in general is one of the issues that cannot be easily achieved, because it is difficult to put a comprehensive and accurate definition of the public employee so that it can be applied to everyone who has this capacity, and it is something that called scholars and the judiciary to address this issue, it is not possible to define The public servant has a general definition in view of all fields of law, because this definition differs from one field of law to another field of law.
