Arms surrender links between Iraq and Lebanon
The article addresses the issue of arms control in Iraq and Lebanon. In Iraq, the government is attempting to collect weapons from the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which emerged after 2014 to combat extremist groups amid internal and sectarian conflicts, and under pressure from the United States to bring them under state control. Meanwhile, the status of weapons in Lebanon remains governed by the symbols who carry them, refusing to surrender arms except within the framework of "national defense," especially following the recent decline of international legitimacy. Notably, regional circumstances and political changes have contributed to easing discussions about the legality and continuity of these two arsenals in their respective countries.
