Baghdad: A recent meeting held with Faiq Zidan, President of the Supreme Judicial Council, outlined Iraq’s future trajectory concerning political sovereignty and the rule of law. The dialogue highlighted critical developments as Iraq prepares for the end of the international coalition’s mission by next September, an event signifying a new phase for the nation.

According to Iraqi News Agency, the meeting conveyed optimism about Iraq’s transition into a period characterized by enhanced state authority and legal enforcement. The coalition’s scheduled departure marks a consensual end to their mission, reflecting Baghdad’s readiness and the complete operational capacity of Iraq’s armed forces to independently manage national security. This milestone is not anticipated to lead to conflict but is rather seen as a step towards establishing authoritative control over weapons, aligning with government measures to ensure national security.

The discussions also emphasized the judiciary’s integral role in promoting freedoms and upholding law in Iraq. Chief Justice Zidan articulated ongoing efforts to enhance the judicial system’s capabilities and safeguard state institutions. These reforms aim to align Iraq’s legal framework with democratic principles, ensuring societal security and the protection of individual rights.

The nation’s leadership remains committed to fostering civil peace and creating an environment conducive to investment and development. The judiciary, alongside responsible media and national resolve, is poised to guide Iraq toward a future marked by justice and prosperity.
