Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court ruled that Kurdistan shouldn’t produce and export oil and gas independent of the central government in Baghdad.
The court on Tuesday said contracts between the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Natural Resources and international companies should be voided. Iraq’s federal government has on numerous occasions in the past asserted its right to resources in the semi-autonomous region, but Kurdistan has carried on pumping and selling regardless.
