Conclusion.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
It is no longer hidden that the political process in Iraq has been revolving around heated struggle to obtain higher positions and guarantee chairs under the umbrella of democracy. What happened and what is still happening in the political process is merely a fragile game that is lost in the maze of narrow sectarian and partisanship preferential treatment which almost lit the fires of civil war if it was not for the national unity roots which are deep-seated in the minds and consciences of all Iraqis.
What was afflicted upon the Iraqi people throughout the past years in terms of the change in all political, economic, security and educational aspects did not exceed the frame of glamorous mottos and promises hanged on the deteriorated security situation hanger.
Our Association preserved itself from the preferential treatment of all kinds because such preferential treatment promotes sectarianism, denominationalism and racial bias between the children of the same country. It shreds the national spirit that covers all Iraqi individuals.
Under the pressing need for a national political project that achieves harmony and unity between the population and its representatives that is built on bases where deeds implement the word of a mouth; and in order for us to contribute in bringing Iraq back to its original track as it is the origin and the lead of humanitarian cultures, we saw that it is necessary to develop a political project that meets all of the country’s and citizen’s needs so as to be an Iraqi national guiding step which rises with Iraq and its population.
Developing the pillars of this project only represents the start of a clear road, to which we will be developing complete plans and paths in the varied fields of the Iraqi citizen’s life which we expect to be a success in building a safe Iraq that enjoys well-being and overshadowed by freedom on the land of unity.
The bases upon which the Iraqi National Unity Association is based mainly depend on practical life aspects away from excessive theories because the Iraqi citizen’s worries are headed for the nature of the programs and the extent of their reality. They are not headed for the kind of political beliefs or philosophical thoughts that they represent, which were proved to be significantly falling back by the recent elections experiences.
We can view the political work project of the association in the current phase of the political process in Iraq through the programs in which the Association adopts reforming and renewing. They are as follows:
The Political Program:
Coalition of Iraqi National Unity works towards achieving a number of important issues in politics:
On the internal policy level:
First: Pursuit amending the constitution as it is considered the supreme law which defines the political process procedures in Iraq within its general framework.
Second: Mobilize all political powers to be aligned on the same side against vandalism acts of whatever resource which target Iraq and Iraqis.
Third: Establish and fix the Iraqi national identity.
Fourth: Eliminate the basis of preferential treatment based on sectarianism and nationalism along with respecting peculiarities of the Iraqi society and spread feelings of tolerance, brotherhood, and real citizenship.

Fifth: Try to release the detainees against whom no charges were proved and improve humanitarian conditions in jails as per international standards for human rights.
Sixth: Issue laws that include fair compensations to Iraqis who were subjected to the various kinds of harm by terrorists, combat operations, or by the previous or current government regimes.
Seventh: Immediately start to develop a schedule to reconstruct Iraqi cities which were destroyed and neglected.
Eighth: Stabilize and fix the foundations of the democratic political structure, through:
1) Providing proper conditions necessary for the freedom of opinion, press, and civil society organizations for real in addition to providing legal guarantees for their work away from the control of governmental systems.
2) Staying away from preferential treatment based on sectarianism, nationalism, tribalism and narrow party agreements.
Ninth: Adopt a real national unity project that paves the way for a wide population base that contributes in the political operation away from the soul of revenge, exclusion and marginalization.

Thirteenth: Purify the political work so as not to impact the choices through ethnic, sectarian or material coercion.
Fourteenth: Correct the political process track by overcoming the obstacles which prevented large segments of the population from proper participation in the political process.
On the level of external policy:
First: Iraq should adopt an external policy that is open to the world and takes into consideration Iraq’s higher interests and its wish to build bilateral and multiple relationships on the bases of mutual cooperation and common interests to take Iraq back to its international prestigious position.
Second: Frank solidarity and active work with all fair and legitimate Islamic and Arabic issues.
Third: Preserve Iraq’s relationship with neighboring countries, namely Arab Gulf States on the basis of common interests and brotherhood relations and on the basis of not interfering in internal affairs, respect political choices for each one of the countries, and solve their pending problems using constructive political methods and in accordance with the International Law regulations.

Third: Develop relations between Iraq and Islamic countries on the bases of truth, justice, good neighborhood and respect mutual benefits and common interests.
Constitution Amendment Program:
The current draft constitution does not meet the Iraqis’ national interests, there are many gaps, missing points, and mal-phrasing. This necessitates reviewing it so as to meet Iraqis’ expectations to build their country presently and in the future. For example, the current constitution needs to change all phrases that create discrimination between Iraqi on religious, nationalism, ethnic, tribal… etc. bases. Also, there is a need to amend articles that affect one’s rights and personal status.
We have developed a special detailed study in this regard where we have indicated the articles which rise serious concerns and affect the country’s independence, its unity, regional safety and its Arab identity. On this basis, CINU believes that rephrasing related articles; namely: the Preamble and Articles (2, 3, 7, 9, 18, 35, 41, 43, 50, 68, 111, 115, 121… etc.), shall top the list of amendment demands.
Building Armed Forces Program:
The Iraqi army
After the destruction of the whole military institution, Iraq was jeopardized as it was subjected to foreign interference and parties militias on one hand and loss of jobs and sources of living for thousands of families on the other hand. Therefore, CINU strives to do the following:
First: Rebuild the Iraqi army on national bases that guarantee its loyalty to the country not to sects and parties.
Second: Benefit from the accumulated expertise of officers of the disbanded army who are loyal (not politicized) and do not waste such expertise.
Third: Advance the level of training and equipment based on national and scientific standards.
Fourth: Pass laws that ensures the neutrality of the army in the inner field and ensures that it does not get engaged as a party in political tendencies. i.e., not to politicize the army and the security systems, prohibit political work within such institutes, and assure that such institutes are not abused by strong political powers at the government to achieve party or tribal gains or any other kind of political settlement.

Second: Build a “Laws State” not a “State Law”.
Third: Support civil society organizations and help them to provide the society with development, cultural, social, economic, intellectual and humanitarian plans and projects.
Anticorruption program to fight administrative & financial corruption:
As fuel oil prices triples some years ago, most of the Iraqi population lives in a state of poverty. Iraq’s children did not benefit from this significant increase in oil prices. Yet all of this money poured into the pockets of those who stole the population’s fortune through many phantom contracts and exaggerated contracts till the country’s treasury became empty. All of the billions provided by donating country magically disappeared. Therefore, CINU strives to fight administrative and financial corruption without leniency through the following:
First: Grant wider powers to the public integrity commission to enable it to practice its role in holding the corrupts accountable. Nevertheless, we hereby emphasize that the criteria of integrity and competency should be observed during establishing this commission rather than sectarianism and partisanship criteria.
