Germany is debating whether to provide weapons to Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq. German law prohibits arms deliveries to ‘crisis areas’, but proponents say modern weapons could prevent Islamic State fighters from perpetrating genocide in the region. Critics are worried that the threat a high-tech armament poses is greater than its promise, since weapons can easily fall into the wrong hands.
