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the CPA remain in force unless and until rescinded or amended by legislation duly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

2
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.

Section 2
General Rules

Except where otherwise noted in this Order, the following General Rules shall apply
to every law, regulation, order, memorandum, instruction and directive issued by the
CPA:

1) All powers, authorities, and responsibilities granted to the Administrator under any
law, regulation, order, memorandum, instruction or directive of the CPA transfer
to the Prime Minister and shall be exercised pursuant to law, including the TAL
and its Annex. As the official with day-to-day responsibility for management of
the federal government, the Prime Minister may delegate such powers and
responsibilities to an appropriate minister or ministry.

2) All powers, authorities, and responsibilities granted to the CPA under any law,
regulation, order, memorandum, instruction or directive of the CPA transfer to the
Federal Government and shall be exercised pursuant to law, including the TAL
and its Annex. The Federal Government means the Iraqi Interim Government, the
Iraqi Transitional Government, and the Iraqi Government to be elected under a
permanent Iraqi constitution as set forth in Chapter 9 of the TAL.

3) All references to “consultation” or “coordination” with the CPA, or CPA
“direction,” “supervision,” or “control” of an Iraqi Ministry or other Iraqi
government entity or official, or any related reference, are hereby rescinded.

4) All references to the Iraqi federal government in any form, including references to
“an internationally recognized, representative government” or “a transitional Iraqi
administration,” shall apply equally to the Iraqi Interim Government, and all
subsequent Iraqi governments, including the Iraqi Transitional Government and
the Iraqi Government to be elected under a permanent constitution as set forth in
Chapter 9 of the TAL. This rule does not implicate references to regional,
governorate, local, or municipal government entities in Iraq.

5) All provisions that contemplate present or future orders, regulations, and/or
memoranda issued by the Administrator or the CPA shall be read to contemplate
present or future orders or regulations of the Iraqi Interim Government as well as

CPA/ORD/28 JUNE 2004/100

3
duly enacted legislation or duly promulgated regulations of any subsequent Iraqi
Government.

6) The word “interim” when immediately preceding “minister” or “ministers” shall
be deleted. All references to a minister or ministers shall refer equally to a
minister or ministers serving in the Iraqi Interim Government, the Iraqi
Transitional Government, or the Iraqi Government to be elected under a
permanent Iraqi constitution as set forth in Chapter 9 of the TAL.

7) References to “CPA or Coalition personnel” or “Coalition Authorities” or
“Coalition personnel” shall be read to cover all foreign national personnel
performing services for, or on behalf of, a foreign embassy, including foreign
contractors and subcontractors, whether hired by the Federal Government or hired
by a foreign government and operating legally in Iraq.

8) All references to “Coalition Forces” and related references shall apply equally to
Multinational Forces operating in Iraq pursuant to United Nations Security
Council Resolutions 1511 and 1546.

9) All references to “the Iraqi Governing Council” are hereby rescinded and shall
refer instead to the Federal Government generally, including the Iraqi Interim
Government, the Iraqi Transitional Government, and the Iraqi Government to be
elected under a permanent Iraqi constitution as set forth in Chapter 9 of the TAL.

10) The phrase “body vested with national legislative powers” shall refer to the
Council of Ministers in the Iraqi Interim Government and the National Assembly
in the Iraqi Transitional Government. The same phrase shall apply to the body
having legislative powers in the Iraqi Government to be elected under a permanent
Iraqi constitution as set forth in Chapter 9 of the TAL.

11) The terms “chief executive,” “head of the Iraqi Government,” and “head of the
Iraqi Government exercising national command authority” shall refer to the Prime
Minister in the Iraqi Interim Government and Transitional Government and the
equivalent office in the Iraqi Government to be elected under a permanent Iraqi
constitution as set forth in Chapter 9 of the TAL. All Iraqi governments
subsequent to the transfer of full governing authority from the CPA, however,
enjoy the authority inherent in sovereignty to divide authorities and
responsibilities among the Presidency Council, the Prime Minister, and any other
office, in a manner consistent with law.

12) All references to “foreign liaison mission” shall apply equally after 30 June 2004
to diplomatic and consular missions.
