As part of its ongoing academic and professional development initiatives, the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Law – University of Baghdad organized an introductory workshop titled “Legislative Confrontation in Combating Administrative and Financial Corruption” on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
The workshop was led by Assistant Professor Dr. Taghreed Mohammed Qaddouri, Head of the Public Law at the College.
The workshop aimed to shed light on the legislative, judicial, and professional efforts made to combat corruption, while highlighting its detrimental effects on job performance and various aspects of public life.
The session addressed four main themes:
