are the same as men in their responsibility towards society, if she so chooses. Hammurabi’s code has 282 laws around which 92 are dedicated to the rights of women. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ second article states, “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind.” Here we address the situation of minorities of geographically large countries like Iraq and diverse in ethnicity, cultures and religion, the majority must be respected with the guarantee of minorities’ constitutional rights. In this case it is preferable to adopt an agreement style not majority rule. Iraq over its long history shows that its people past and present have harmoniously shared the same culture and values despite their different dialects. Iraqi citizens are equal before the law, but the population’s numbers may not allow for representatives to be elected to parliament and as a consequence parliament will be deprived from people who are aware of the problems of their group. Seats should be set aside for some religious and ethnic minorities. But if there was sufficient social development, so that a representative from a minority group was elected to represent an area inhabited by a majority, then we would have reached an enormous cultural and social maturity. We are inspired by article 27 of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities. The United Nations plays such an important role in the protection of minorities that it issued decision number 13547 date December 1992. Solicitor Mohammed Jawad al-Adad
