My understanding is that Iraqi courts lack jurisdiction over American soldiers because of decree issued by L. Paul Bremer under the authority of the occupying powers and that decree is still in force simply because the Iraqi parliament hasn’t rescinded it. Is that correct? So what’s to stop parliament from passing a law saying all Coalition soldiers are liable to be tried in Iraqi courts just like Iraqis are? Do any Coalition members have actuall treaties with Iraq dealing with this? Is there anything to stop an Iraqi court from ruling that it doesn’t apply to private contractors?
