The class system is the basic pillar in all societies regardless of its progress and development. Therefore, the subject of its protection criminally and the manifestation of prejudice to it is one of the subjects that must be given share in our research and study in light of the ramifications and expansion of patterns of prejudice. And the lack of legal studies on the other hand. Our daily lives are full of incidents of discrimination in treatment between classes. Many individuals and even decision-makers still have a class view of some members of the society who differ from them in a religious way or in a belief. Moreover, the media and religious speeches contribute to the seeds of division between the one country, but it came even among the people of one city, which violates the rights of weak social groups, which have no choice and strength. All this necessitated to need of establish of criminal protection for these groups through the prohibition of all behaviors that involve and make discrimination in treatment and thus the violation of civil peace, which is one of the pillars of the internal security of the state and this is what the Iraqi criminal law has ratified and ratified by many international treaties and conventions.

It is not a discovery that the constitutional judge has played a vital role in political life, which cannot be indispensable in nowadays. This is due to the strategic position the constitutional judge has occupied in many areas, whether legal, economic or political aspects. This importance can be evidently seen through the expended jurisdictions are exercised by the constitutional judge, which enabled him to determine the nature of its relationship with other political institutions. Under this shift, a constitutional court is no longer confined to declaring the unconstitutionality of statutes if they are contrary to the Constitution, and simply annulling them, but rather takes on a positive power to create statute law, such as by assisting the legislative branch to fill constitutional gaps caused by legislative omissions. Such development requires a number of changes occurs in the nature of its jurisdiction, it is no longer limited to the legal or judicial role, but it has been involved in the political scope through the politicalising the laws and judicialising the political activities. The existence of such facts led us to single out a study lead to raise many questions, perhaps the most important one is to examine the nature of the constitutional judge. This study also aims to determine the extent to which the shift of the role of the constitutional judge affects the political process, and discovers the legal and political scope of its role to overcome the challenges that can be faced through restructuring the constitutional jurisdictions. These questions raised by this study showed the importance of the development of the constitutional judge's role. Obviously, these questions need to be answered. This led us to study a specialized study of this subject, where we found that the judge has a vital role in politicizing laws and judicialising the politics.

Since the invention of the automobile, no aspect of American life, including crime and its control, has remained untouched by this far-reaching innovation in transportation. Vehicular "hot pursuit"-when suspects in motor vehicles use excessive speed in attempting to elude the police.Unfortunately, accounts of wild chases across crowded inner city streets, through tree-lined suburban boulevards, and over remote country roads are very real and not merely fictional material created for entertaining television and motion picture audiences. The specter of "hot pursuit," complete with screaming sirens and red or blue flashing lights, has become a recurring fact of modem life.1 So, too, are the mishaps involving police vehicles or the vehicles pursued by the police. Pursuit-related accidents causing personal injury, death or property damage very often lead to lawsuits claiming negligence on the part of police officers, their supervisors and their governmental employers. Some of these suits have resulted in six or seven figure awards and several have nearly bankrupted some municipalities and townships.

As we know, change is part of continuity, so it is normal that many transformations of public international law leaves its effects gradually own the institution of diplomatic protection, as the mirror reflects the path above which it is walked. That is to say, diplomatic protection is above all a framework, a remedy.In this sense, it does not offer abstract content; it is oriented towards a goal: the protection of the injured person and the reparation of the harm. It is above all the right of the person to his State in exchange for the commitment to other countries vis-à-vis the people who reside there, regardless of nationality because it is primarily related to human character.

Human societies have known different types of exploitation, conscripting children for combat could be one of its hideous forms which appeared in the past and is still currently widespread. In spite of international legal efforts which have been exerted to face such conduct and the continuous efforts to hold its perpetrators accountable, along with the developments in human rights – including children’s rights – on the international level which is expressed by international protection for children’s rights in the form of agreements and legal conventions and principles, but this did not prevent those of special interests and war traders from violating children’s rights and using them as soldiers, which places us before a painful undeniable reality which is the escalation in the numbers of children participating in armed international/internal conflicts, where some statistics point out that hundreds of thousands of children are being willingly/unwillingly conscripted whether in governmental armed forces which follow some countries or by armed groups, and then they are participated in armed conflicts. Some actually participate in combat operations while some have a supporting role for such operations. The rule of banning children’s participation in armed conflicts according to international law necessitates determining the meaning of “child fighter” under this law, identifying the reasons which stand behind children’s enrollment in military work (on the assumption that these reasons are diversified) with shedding light upon the available legal rules to enhance the ban and their effectiveness, thereby judging their sufficiency. Also, determining the practical application’s requirements for protection against conscription, by guaranteeing its efficiency, which is what this study aims to illustrate.
