Separating the disciplinary worker from the public employee in Iraq

Disciplinary sanctions play a vital role within the administrative system, serving to uphold institutional order and ensure adherence to laws and internal regulations in public sector organizations. However, employees may face such sanctions due to misconduct or negligence. The existence of a legal mechanism for lifting or abolishing these sanctions underscores the importance of evaluating the procedures through which they are imposed. This research explores the legal and administrative framework governing the abolition of disciplinary sanctions in Iraq, focusing on the principles of justice, transparency, and due process. It examines the causes that justify the removal of sanctions, the procedures involved, and the broader implications for public employees and institutional efficiency. The study highlights how lifting disciplinary measures can positively impact employee morale, preserve professional reputations, and contribute to a more constructive and balanced work environment within government institutions.
