Ireland is a member of the Global Coalition Against Daesh, and strongly supports all efforts to ensure justice for the victims of atrocities committed by ISIS/Daesh in Iraq.
Ireland has consistently called for accountability for crimes committed by ISIS on the Security Council. We strongly support the work of the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability Against ISIS/Daesh (UNITAD). UNITAD supports efforts to hold Da’esh members accountable by collecting, preserving and storing evidence of the most serious crimes committed in Iraq in line with the highest possible standards. Ireland welcomes the extension of UNITAD's mandate for a further 12 months on 17 September.
Ireland also supports the work of the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), including the Mission's efforts on promoting accountability, protecting human rights, and supporting judicial and legal reform in Iraq.
Ireland welcomes all efforts by the Iraqi government to identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of ISIS atrocities. We also welcome the introduction of legislation by the Iraqi government to support the victims of ISIS crimes, such as the Yazidi Female Survivors Law in March 2021, which sets out to provide reparations to survivors of sexual violence.
We urge continued sustained efforts to ensure justice for the victims of all atrocities committed by ISIS/Daesh in Iraq.
