Iraq's Supreme Court said on Wednesday it does not have the constitutional authority to dissolve parliament, a key demand by powerful cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who has threatened further unrest if the court does not do as he says.
The court added in a statement that the parliament must dissolve itself in a case where it is not carrying out its duties.
