Abstract: The head of state plays a major role in international relations. He is the primary representative of his country in its relations with other countries. In most countries, the head of state plays a role, albeit a nominal one, in conducting foreign relations. Constitutional texts and international traditions determine the role of the head of state in the actual practice of international relations. The president's personality, political history, and party affiliation also play an important role in determining his international powers. As in other parliamentary systems, the president exercises powers of an international nature in the parliamentary system. However, there are many questions and problems raised regarding the role of the president at the international level in countries with parliamentary systems. Are the international powers of the president in parliamentary countries always formal? Or does he exercise an actual role pursuant to the constitution or the reality imposed by the country's circumstances and special experience, the personality of the head of state, and other factors? There is more than one model that can be described as a parliamentary system. There is the traditional parliamentary system, the semi-traditional parliamentary system, and the developed parliamentary system. Is the international powers of the head of state the same across all these types of parliamentary systems? Or does it vary from one type to another? To understand the international powers exercised by the president in the parliamentary system and the importance of the role he plays at the international level, we will adopt a comparative study as a methodology for our research, through comparing the selected research models that represent the types of parliamentary systems, namely: Lebanon as a model of the traditional parliamentary system, Iraq as a model of the semi-traditional parliamentary system, and Algeria as a model of the advanced parliamentary system. The president's international powers will be addressed according to a scientific plan that we divide into three sections: the first section is devoted to concluding treaties, the second section addresses the appointment of ambassadors and accepting the credentials of foreign ambassadors, and the third section addresses recognition.
