Bazzāz, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-

Bazzāz, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-

▪ Iraqi leader
born 1913, Baghdad, Iraq, Ottoman Empire [now Iraq]
died June 28, 1973, Baghdad

      Iraqi politician who was prime minister of Iraq from 1965 to 1966.

      From 1955 to 1956 Bazzāz was dean of the Baghdad Law School. Following the coup that overthrew the Hāshimite monarchy of Fayṣal II in 1958, he became president of the Court of Cassation. In 1960 he fell afoul of the president, General ʿAbd al-Karīm Qāsim (Qāsim, ʿAbd al-Karīm), and was briefly imprisoned before retiring to Cairo. After the coup that killed Qāsim, Bazzāz returned to Iraq in early 1963 and began a diplomatic career. The following year he also became secretary-general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) (OPEC). In 1965 he was named prime minister of Iraq, a position he held until President ʿAbd al-Salām ʿĀrif (Ārif, ʿAbd al-Salāmʿ) was killed in a helicopter crash in 1966. A staunch advocate of Arab nationalism, democracy, and rule of law, Bazzāz earned many enemies among Iraq's military and tribal elite during his short tenure as prime minister and was forced out of office and later arrested. In July 1969 the new Baʿthist (Baʿth Party) government announced that he was to be tried with 19 others on a charge of conspiracy to overthrow the government. He was released, however, in 1970.
