Events on March 8 in history

2004Mar, 8

A new constitution is signed by Iraq's Governing Council.

The Law of Administration for the State of Iraq for the Transitional Period (Arabic: قانون إدارة الدولة للفترة الانتقالية), also called the Transitional Administrative Law or TAL, was Iraq's provisional constitution following the 2003 Iraq War. It was signed on March 8, 2004 by the Iraqi Governing Council. It came into effect on June 28, 2004 following the official transfer of power from the Coalition Provisional Authority (a division of the United States Department of Defense) to a sovereign Iraqi government. The law remained in effect until the formation of the government in May 2006, when it was superseded by the permanent constitution that had been approved by referendum on October 15, 2005.

The TAL was principally drafted by a ten-man committee appointed by the Bush Administration with advice from the United States and United Nations personnel.
