Abstract

Within the recent presence and spread of the (COVID-19) inside and outside Iraq and the large number of deaths obtained as a result of infection, we hope to handle the (intentional murder by transmitting the Coronavirus) and indicating the extent of its adaptation in accordance with the provisions of the Iraqi Penal Code, so the crime of killing by transmitting the Coronavirus is an unconventional means of killing, especially with the ease of spreading this virus and turning it into a global pandemic within a short period, as it has claimed the lives of thousands of people. Therefore, we discussed the pillars of this crime in the first three sections, and we devoted the last section to the sanction prescribed for this crime.
