The Iraqi Presidencies: No party has the right to declare war within our lands
The three Iraqi presidencies said on Sunday that no party has the right to declare a state of war or act on the basis of the state of war inside the Iraqi territories.
A statement by the Iraqi Parliament stated that meetings were held on Sunday attended by Iraqi President Barham Salih, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi, and Judicial Council Chairman Faik Zidan, which was devoted to discussing security developments in the country.
The statement stressed that "declaring war is the prerogative of the Iraqi state’s legislative and executive institutions based on the law and the constitution, and that no party has the right to declare a state of war or act on the basis of the state of war inside Iraqi territories."
The statement clarified that "Iraq, while it insistently affirms its refusal to interfere in the internal affairs of any country and rejects the interference of others in its affairs, it refuses to turn its land into an arena for settling scores or a starting point for aggression against other countries."
The statement emphasized that “the security developments that occurred in recent times from the continued targeting of civilian and military centers and headquarters, and the continuing assassinations and kidnappings against civilian activists represent targeting Iraq and its sovereignty and the national project on which the current government was formed to achieve stability and preserve the state’s prestige in preparation for holding early elections on the basis of early elections. Fair, as it undermines the international reputation of Iraq and its foreign relations ».
The statement warned that «the continuing atmosphere of security turmoil and the repercussions that result from it will seriously damage the economy of Iraq and its endeavor to overcome the crisis that resulted from the spread of the Corona pandemic and the drop in oil prices and its revenues, and undermine the chances of leaving the country to safety in the face of crises.
The statement stressed that "Iraq is not in a state of war except with terrorism, which the Iraqi people and their vanguard of the military and security forces of all kinds and variations have made decisive strides in defeating and defeating."
The statement affirmed its support for "the efforts of the Iraqi government to confine weapons in the hands of the state, and to prevent the targeting of diplomatic missions, whose responsibility to protect their security and the safety of their facilities and personnel falls on the Iraqi side within its applicable international obligations."
The meeting affirmed, "Iraq adheres to the outcomes of the strategic dialogue with the United States and the redeployment agreement from Iraq during agreed stages of time, including long-term cooperation with the United States in various fields, especially cooperation in the field of training and arming the Iraqi security and military forces and the war against ISIS." .
