Summary

Description
العربية: علم العراق 1959-1963 تحت عبد الكريم قاسم
עברית: הדגל של עיראק בימי עבד אל-כרים קאסם
English: Flag of Iraq under the Qassem regime, 1959-1963.

The flag uses the four Pan-Arab colors (in addition to yellow), but was intended to move away from explicit Pan-Arab or Nasserite symbolism. The yellow sun represented the Kurdish minority and the red star of the "Star of Ishtar" symbol was used to represent Iraq's ancient heritage, as well as its minority Assyrian population.

Qasim promoted an "Iraq first" identity, emphasizing the country's historical status as the cradle of great pre-Arab civilizations. He deliberately added the Akkadian eight-point star of Ishtar to the national flag, and likewise incorporated the insignia of the sun god Shamash in Iraq's national emblem. -- http://www.meforum.org/518/requiem-for-arab-nationalism

According to [1] and [2], Iraqi Kurds prefer this flag to the 1963-2007 forms of the Iraqi national flag (with their Pan-Arab and Ba`thist associations).

For the corresponding state emblem (coat of arms) see File:Iraq state emblem CoA 1959-1965 Qassem.svg . For a flag map, see File:Iraq-flag-map 1959-1963.svg .

    Copyright notes

    Copyright notes
    Per U.S. Circ. 38a, the following countries are not participants in the Berne ConventionorUniversal Copyright Convention and there is no presidential proclamation restoring U.S. copyright protection to works of these countries on the basis of reciprocal treatment of the works of U.S. nationals or domiciliaries:
    • East Timor, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Marshall Islands, Palau, Somalia, Somaliland, and South Sudan.

    As such, works published by citizens of these countries in these countries are usually not subject to copyright protection outside of these countries. Hence, such works may be in the public domain in most other countries worldwide.

    However:

    • Works published in these countries by citizens or permanent residents of other countries that are signatories to the Berne Convention or any other treaty on copyright will still be protected in their home country and internationally as well as locally by local copyright law (if it exists).
    • Similarly, works published outside of these countries within 30 days of publication within these countries will also usually be subject to protection in the foreign country of publication. When works are subject to copyright outside of these countries, the term of such copyright protection may exceed the term of copyright inside them.
    • Unpublished works from these countries may be fully copyrighted.
    • A work from one of these countries may become copyrighted in the United States under the URAA if the work's home country enters a copyright treaty or agreement with the United States and the work is still under copyright in its home country.

    Iraq has enacted Law No. 3 of 1971 on Copyright (Arabic) which came into force on 21 January 1971. Iraq has enacted Regulation No. 10 of 1985 on the National Committee for the Protection of Copyright (Arabic) which came into force on 2 September 1985. Iraq has enacted Order No. 83, Amendment to the Copyright Law (Arabic) (unofficial English (WIPO) translation) which came into force on 1 May 2004.
    Note: As per Commons policy, this tag alone is not sufficient. You also need to supply a tag that describes why the work is public domain in its country of origin.
    This work is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
    Insignia This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status.
