Chief Justice, US Chargé Discuss Arms Control

Chief Justice Faiq Zidan, head of the Supreme Judicial Council, met on Monday with Stephen Fagan, the new US Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq. The discussions focused on judicial support for the government's measures to implement a program aimed at restricting arms to state control. A statement from the Judiciary's media outlined that the meeting addressed the judiciary's efforts to reinforce government initiatives for a comprehensive arms restriction program. This program is based on a well-studied plan adopted by the Coordination Framework, with a dedicated committee tasked with its preparation and announcement upon completion at an opportune time. The initiative seeks to ensure Iraq's commitment to its positive international relations and uphold the full implementation of the constitution and law.
