In February 2015, the Iraqi cabinet presented the parliament with the draft of a National Guard law that aimed to regulate the activities of the armed forces battling Daesh. But political parties are still at odds over the content of the document. Some lawmakers believe the draft law would weaken national unity as it orders the formation of separate provincial armed units that are not necessarily in coordination with each other.
