Comments	The Law of Administration for the State of Iraq for the Transitional Period (hereafter the "TAL") is the current Iraqi Constitution, and was signed on 8 March 2004 by the Iraqi Governing Council (IGC). The TAL came into effect on 28 June 2004 following the transfer of sovereignty from the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) to the Iraqi Interim Government (IIG). In its Article 2 it provides that the TAL itself will be applicable for the "transitional period" which began with the handover of sovereignty on 30 June 2004 and will last until the formation of an elected Iraqi Government pursuant to a Permanent Constitution.
