The procedural status of foreign nationals accused or sentenced of crimes in Iraq constitutes the subject of the present article. Their rights in criminal and related proceedings, as well as the possibilities of assistance through international judicial cooperation from the countries of their nationalities are dealt with. The judicial mechanisms for protection of their rights are revealed. Special attention is paid to three forms of international judicial cooperation which Iraq may obtain from the foreigners’ countries in respect of their alleged or proven crimes, namely: execution of a request to the country of the foreigner’s nationality to launch criminal proceedings against him/her, relinquishing the criminal case to the country of the foreigner’s nationality and international transfer of the imprisoned foreigner to the country of his/her nationality. Obtaining confiscation by Iraqi authorities in another country is also a major topic of this article
