I remember seeing an article a few weeks ago talking about a conflict between the HCL and the Iraqi constitution as regards the percentages of the distribution of the oil money. As we see in this article posted by Buddyboy the HCL dictates that the oil money is distributed evenly between the Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis. However, my understanding is that the Constitution states that the distribution is 40% to the Kurds and then the rest is somehow cut between the shiites and the Sunnis. I certainly hope that I'm wrong about this. However, based on how they have run everything else it would not surprise me if they didn't realize that these differences were issues until recently. I'm hoping that someone with more legal background can address this. I hope that this has already been addressed by the Iraqis and that amendments to the Constitution will not be required. If so, we could be looking at MONTHS of delay of the enactment of the HCL and FIL.
Let me know what you think.
