COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY ORDER NUMBER 100
TRANSITION OF LAWS, REGULATIONS, ORDERS, AND DIRECTIVES
ISSUED BY THE COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY
Pursuant to my authority as Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA),
and under the laws and usages of war, and consistent with relevant U.N. Security Council
resolutions, including Resolution 1483 (2003), Resolution 1511 (2003), and Resolution
1546 (2004);
Reaffirming that the laws, regulations, orders, memoranda, instructions and directives of
the CPA remain in force unless and until rescinded or amended by legislation duly
enacted and having the force of law, as set forth in Article 26(C) of the Law of
Administration for the State of Iraq for the Transitional Period (“TAL”);
Recognizing that the Government of Iraq will be responsible for interpreting and
implementing these laws, regulations, orders, memoranda, instructions and directives
following the transfer of full governing authority on 30 June 2004;
Noting that many of these laws, regulations, orders, memoranda, instructions and
directives require technical amendment and/or rescission to properly reflect the transfer
of full governing authority and the dissolution of the Coalition Provisional Authority on
30 June 2004;
Further noting that many of these laws, regulations, orders, memoranda, instructions and
directives require technical amendment and/or rescission to reflect the structure of the
Iraqi Interim Government and to allow for proper delegation of responsibilities within
that Government and subsequent Iraqi Governments;
Determined to facilitate the continuity of Iraqi law and to ensure a smooth transfer of full
governing authority to the Iraqi Interim Government on 30 June 2004;
Having consulted with the Iraqi Interim Government, including the Prime Minister, I
hereby promulgate the following:
Section 1
Purpose
This Order makes appropriate revisions to laws, regulations, orders, memoranda,
instructions and directives issued by the CPA to facilitate an orderly transfer of full
governing authority to the Iraqi Interim Government on 30 June 2004. The Order
seeks to ensure that the Iraqi Interim Government and all subsequent Iraqi
governments inherit full responsibility for these laws, regulations, orders, memoranda,
CPA/ORD/28 JUNE 2004/100
� instructions and directives so that their implementation after the transfer of full
governing authority may reflect the expectations of the Iraqi people, as determined by
a fully empowered and sovereign Iraqi Government. This is the final Order of the
CPA, which will dissolve on 30 June 2004, after the transfer of full governing
authority to the Iraqi Interim Government.
