Supreme Judiciary Discusses State Weapon Control Plan with US Chargé d'Affaires

The head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faiq Zidan, discussed today, Monday, with the new US Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq, Stephen Fagin, the judiciary's support for government measures to implement a state weapon control program. A statement issued by the Supreme Judicial Council clarified that the meeting addressed the judiciary's role in backing government efforts to apply the weapon control plan, a well-considered strategy adopted by the Coordination Framework. The two sides also discussed the formation of a committee, emanating from the Coordination Framework, responsible for preparing and announcing this plan once completed and at the appropriate time. This measure aims to reinforce Iraq's commitment to its positive relations with the international community, and to ensure the full implementation of constitutional and legal provisions.
