The Iraqi community has been interested in its form, organization and its social relations. Iraq was always supportive and belongs to the civil and professional rallies, cultural, scientific, economic and humanitarian different organizations, but after the control of the defunct ex regime, and the militarization of the Iraqi civil society and the transfer of civil institutions to serve the military machine to serve the one-party orientation and replacing the dictatorship instead of democracy, made these civil institutions play a repressive role and authoritarian partner of the tyrant authority. The result led to a lack of role and the erosion of their presence and voice to become one of the forms of the ex regime on the Iraqi arena. One of the basic tasks of Iraqi civil society is the advancement of its components reconstruction and the development and building of its infrastructure to reach the goal of the development and building civil institutions that leads to a new Iraqi civil society...
