Since the fall of the Ba’ath Party regime in 2003, disputed areas, particularly Sinjar, under article No.140 of the Iraqi Constitution, Sinjar has been a point of dispute between the Central Government of Baghdad and Kurdistan Regional Government. which has negatively affected its economic and social progress, although it is a strategic area, rich in many resources, whether natural resources such as oil, agricultural lands, or tourist attractions.These security and administrative problems have created a wide gap that has led to the control of ISIS and the extermination of Yazidis. This requires a new regulatory framework through which these crises can be addressed, perhaps by making Sinjar a federal conservative, launching economic projects, and strengthening international efforts. However, internal, regional, and international conflicts limit the possibility of achieving this regulatory framework.
