<![CDATA[This study examines the issue of child labor in Iraq within the framework of international agreements and national laws. The research aims to identify the causes behind the prevalence of child labor, analyze human rights perspectives on the issue, and evaluate the stance of Iraqi legislation in addressing the problem. The study employs a descriptive and analytical methodology by reviewing international conventions related to children's rights and Iraqi labor laws, particularly the Iraqi Labor Law and the Constitution. The findings indicate that despite the presence of legal frameworks prohibiting child labor, enforcement remains weak due to economic and political instability. The study highlights that poverty, armed conflicts, and inadequate law implementation are key factors driving child labor in Iraq. While Iraq has ratified international agreements and enacted laws to regulate child employment, many provisions remain ineffective in practice. Strengthening law enforcement, enhancing social protection, and improving access to education are crucial to addressing this issue.]]>
