Iraqi courts use terrorism laws on drones
The Iraqi Higher Judicial Council has directed the relevant courts to apply anti-terrorism laws to those who manufacture, use, or possess drones, due to their frequent association with armed factions' activities and illegal operations. This directive aims to curb the activities of armed groups and to categorize the use of drones as acts of terrorism, with penalties including the death penalty for those involved in such activities. This step is part of the Iraqi authorities’ efforts to control arms and counter the use of drones in attacks on military and civilian sites, especially following the widespread deployment of drones in assaults carried out by Iran-backed factions since the beginning of the recent conflict. It represents a significant security challenge, given the ease of transporting drones and the lack of effective countermeasures to confront them.
