US State Department 2012 Report - The interim constitution and other laws and policies provide for some religious freedom, but prohibit apostasy, conversion to a religion other than Islam, blasphemy, and some interfaith marriages. The interim constitution preserves Islamic law as a source of legislation. The interim constitution denies recognition to any political party that discriminates based on religion and specifically prohibits discrimination against candidates for the national civil service based on religion. There are no legal remedies to address constitutional violations of religious freedom by governmental or private actors.

US State Department 2012 Report - The interim constitution and other laws and policies provide for some religious freedom, but prohibit apostasy, conversion to a religion other than Islam, blasphemy, and some interfaith marriages. The interim constitution preserves Islamic law as a source of legislation. The interim constitution denies recognition to any political party that discriminates based on religion and specifically prohibits discrimination against candidates for the national civil service based on religion. There are no legal remedies to address constitutional violations of religious freedom by governmental or private actors.

While this is a very broad recommendation, the Iraqi national report highlighted several ways that their government has increased protections for religious minorities and consulted various religious/ethnic groups in a national settlement initative. Article 14 of the Iraqi constitution also prohibits discrimination. However, there are still cases of discrimination so the recommendation is not completely fulfilled.
