Legal Documents
The Commission's unified legal library: the laws, instructions, regulations, decisions of the Board of Commissioners, and official forms — your authoritative reference for the legislative framework of the media and telecommunications sectors.
Legal library
A clear legislative framework
within reach of all
The Communications and Media Commission (CMC) derives its regulatory mandate from Order No. 65 of 2004 and the subsequent legislation in force, and pursuant to it issues binding instructions, regulations, and decisions that govern the work of media institutions, telecommunications companies, and digital service providers in the Republic of Iraq.
This library brings together all official texts in one place in downloadable electronic formats, and is updated as soon as any legislation or amendment is issued, to serve as the primary reference for licensees, researchers, investors, and judicial and oversight bodies. The electronically published version is identical to the paper version kept in the Commission's records.
