Iraqi archaeologists have protested against the proposed constitution only a few hours before it is put to vote.
The archaeologists say the constitution ignores the country’s ancient history as it leaves the handling of antiquities in the hands of regional administrations rather than the central government.
They say they fear the country’s ancient heritage, one of the most priceless in the world, will be a victim of political squabbling.
Doubtful anyone paid much attention to it, but it's not something we have a reasoned opinion on.
