The Kurdish region of Iraq's referendum in 2017 on independence has been a matter of contention for a long time, significantly impacting the political landscape of the Middle East. On September 25, 2017, the autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq held a referendum to decide on its independence. The results of this referendum were rejected by the international community, particularly neighboring countries of Iraq, primarily due to concerns about its potential ramifications on the population and its impact on the Middle East region. The aim of this study is to assess the performance of governments regarding the 2017 referendum in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The main question posed in this study is how the governmental performance regarding the Kurdish region of Iraq's independence referendum is evaluated legally. The research methodology employed is analytical-descriptive, and the data collection method is library-based. Despite the fulfillment of all historical and practical conditions for independence, independence was not achieved due to the lack of recognition by governments. The results of the research indicate that Iraq and opposing governments have relied on the constitution and the necessity to preserve the territorial integrity and unity of the country. However, the full implementation of the new Iraqi constitution, which guarantees the country's unity, has not been realized. The Iraqi government has so far violated or disregarded the rights of the Kurdish people. Due to the violation of 55 articles of the constitution, the principle cannot be enforced as a result. Considering these reasons, it can be said that the governments' performance regarding the holding of the 2017 referendum in the Kurdistan region is political.

The purpose this study is to investigate the legitimacy of holding the 2017 referendum of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and measure people's opinion. According to the review of legal theories and the study of government bills, the experience of Kosovo and the opinions of the court judges, the question is: Is the holding of the 2017 referendum of the Kurdistan Region legitimate in international law and the Iraqi constitution? The research method is a descriptive-analytical type of content analysis. this study shows that the independence of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, will be legitimate in the case of occupation, the systematic violation of human rights by the ruling regime in Iraq. Non-implementation of Article 64 of the Treaty of Sèvres, historical challenges of Kurdistan's accession to Iraq, violations of 55 articles of the constitution by the Iraqi government, disregard for principles of participation and balance, and efforts to diminish Kurdistan's role and inability to defend the Kurdistan region by Iraq, have prompted the Kurdish people to support the conduct of the 2017 referendum. These issues have led to the referendum being viewed as a legitimate democratic and peaceful means of expressing the people's will. The people of the Kurdistan region conveyed their message to the central government peacefully. Despite opposition from the central government, and international community, this effort culminated in the holding of the referendum in September 2017. Although this action was not universally accepted by the international community, considering the legal and historical context, it seems legitimate.
