An advisory body created by the U.S. Coalition Provisional Authority, the Iraqi Governing Council advised the CPA and other stakeholders, such as UN Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, on governance questions, de-Ba'athification, and forming the Interim Iraqi Government. [1] It was formed in July 2003, and had 25 members:
- 13 Shia
- 5 Sunni Arabs
- 5 Sunni Kurds
- 1 Sunni Turkoman
- 1 Assyrian Christian
In actuality the IGC announced itself on 13 July 2003, to suggest it was an all-Iraqi process, and took the Iraqi seat at the UN without ever being recognized as the Government of Iraq. [2] The transition to a sovereign Iraqi Government would take another 11 months, when the Interim Iraqi Government (IIG) assumed political authority from the CPA. While the IIG would be sovereign, there still would be a major and dominant US troop presence that would not withdraw fully from the cities until 2009.
