The Accountability and Just Act of 2008 was the 10th law passed by the Iraqi Parliament in that year.[1] The law defines de-Ba'athification as “The procedures… to intellectually, administratively, politically, culturally and economically dismantle the Ba’ath Party system in Iraqi society, state institutions, and civil society institutions.”[2] The Ba'ath Party is recognized as the party “which took power on 17/07/1968 and [was] prohibited by article (7) of the Iraqi constitution.”[3] A member of the Ba'ath Party, subject to the penalties of the law is defined as, “any individual who joined the Ba'ath Party and gave an oath of allegiance to it.”[4] Collaborators are defined as any individual who worked with or benefited from the Ba'ath Party.[5]

The next sections of the law detail the composition and qualifications of the members of the Commission, and the purposes of the Commission. The stated goal of the Commission is similar to the CPA goal of eliminating any and all traces of Ba'ath Party ideology, in any manifestation, from the political, social, and economic life of Iraq (3-4).[6] Additionally, the Commission has the duty of compiling the names and information about members to be maintained in archives that document the Ba'athist period in Iraqi history (4-5).[7] Iraqis allowed to return to work in the government are those who held low level positions in the Ba'ath Party (6) are allowed to return to work in some public sector jobs. However, several key positions and ministries are still barred from these individuals (6). Additionally, anyone who profited from being a member of the Ba'ath Party, is barred from additional posts in the public sector (6). There is also the possibility that certain individuals will be eligible for pensions, and the law also creates an appeals process for those deemed subject to its penalties (6-8).[8] Finally, the end of the law provides the Commission’s composition, and the justifications for the law (10-12).[9]
