AI Brief
Other: On 25 March 2025, in Managua, Managua, the National Assembly of Nicaragua approved a reform to the Military Code, establishing the Army's subordination to the Presidency of the Republic. The reform also creates the Patriotic Military Reserve, allowing civilians to join the military reserve, although the law does not clearly define the specific requirements or roles they will have. Critics to the Government claim that the reform could be used to pressure citizens into joining the army under coercion, and that its vague terms of participation might lead to abuses. In addition, they claim that the reform could legalize paramilitary forces within the Army.
