  1. “For the first time, the countries of the world are standing together to fight a common enemy: Da'esh. In this very Chamber in September 2014, I delivered my first speech after Da'esh entered Mosul. And here we are now. We have come a long way, with milestones marked by bloodshed, sacrifice, economic destruction and devastated towns. Yet the result is still the same, andthe displaced can return home. The road ahead will require facts are unchanged. The Will Oflfflq and ofthe world's serious, genuine cooperation to prevent the return of peoples prevailed against Da'esh, our common enemy.

  2. “In that regard, the Government of Iraq calls on the international community to provide the Special Adviser with as much assistance as possible to socially reintegrate and rehabilitate survivors of terrorism and violence, including through training programmes, so that they can overcome the devastating impact of the psychological and physical suffering that they had to endure. Finally, I would like to state that victory in Iraq is the result of the unity of Iraq and all its constituent people - Muslims and Christians, Shias and Sunnis, Arabs and Kurds and Turkmen, and Yazidis and Sabians - an unprecedented illustration of a united Iraq. At the same time, that victory was a reflection of the unity among the States represented om the international coalition.”

  4. “Iraq made sure that this provision was included in the wording of resolution 2379 (2017) so as to highlight the importance of respecting State sovereignty in line with the Charter of the United Nations. Fifthly, we call on Member States and international and regional organizations to provide all possible assistance to the team so as to strengthen Iraq's legal and judicial system and promote the rule of law and end impunity. Sixthly, during the negotiations on resolution 2379 (2017), Iraq underlined that the terms of reference for the work of the investigation team in Iraq must be acceptable to the Iraqi Government. That total consent illustrates respect for national sovereignty and Iraq's jurisdiction over crimes committed in Iraq against Iraqi nationals.”

  5. “Thirdly, Iraq would like to assist other countries whose nationals might be members of Da'esh by sharing evidence with them, in accordance with the measures stipulated in the terms of reference of the agreement between Iraq and the Secretariat, with a view to holding Da'esh gangs accountable globally, in line with the global campaign to bring Da'esh to justice. Fourthly, the success of the global campaign to bring the leaders of Da'esh to justice requires serious cooperation among all States Members of the United Nations, including sharing information they have about Da'esh criminals in accordance with the mechanism for mutual legal assistance between the investigative team and the State concerned.”

  6. “Resolution 2379 (2017) is based on solid foundations and a clear framework of full respect for Iraq's sovereignty and its jurisdiction in the field of criminal evidence-collection about crimes committed by Da'esh, including the international mechanism for a joint investigative team, to include Iraqi judges and international experts. Those foundations consist of the following pillars. The first entails international assistance for Iraq in the area of evidence collection, in line with robust international legal standards concerning international crimes that do not fall under the purview of the Iraqi penal law. Secondly, the resolution calls for the team to ensure that international legal expertise is shared with Iraqi experts and judges, who better understand the Iraqi legal system duly applicable to such investigations.”

  7. “It is a concrete manifestation of rejection of the brutality of Da'esh and effective condemnation of its deviant behavior. Prosecuting Da'esh criminals and bringing them to justice will send a message of deterrance to those criminals, while also sending one of reassurance to all our peoples. When we called for a Security Council resolution to prosecute Da'esh, we were well aware that it would be a very effective form of deterrence. This serves as a firm warning to the financiers of this gang and its ideological, financial and media supporters.”

  8. “Wherever Da'esh enters, destruction and chaos follow. We cannot afford to relinquish what we have achieved together in this war. We cannot afford to renounce the huge sacrifices made by our people. We have lived a bitter experience in Iraq, with the suffering and atrocities endured by civilians, in particular minorities - including Christians, Yazidis, Sabians, Turkmen and Shabak - as well as the oppression of women and children in areas under the control of Da'esh. The international community must consider the gravity of this experience for humankind. We must do all we can to prevent it from happening again anywhere else in the world. Resolution 2379 (2017), intended to hold Da'esh accountable, is a victory for humanjustice as well as for the victims.”

  9. “Both worked tirelessly and with great professionalism with the Permanent Representative and his team at our Mission to the United Nations to reach a consensus-based and balanced text. Iraq appreciates the valuable contributions made by Member States of the Security Council during the negotiations on the resolution 2379, which no doubt enhanced the language of the resolution in both substance and form. We would also like to thank them for their understanding and response to Iraq's request for international assistance in the area of evidence collection concerning the crimes committed by Da'esh. The Council is aware of the magnitude of the sacrifices, the human losses and the destruction as a result of the war against terrorism in Iraq. That destruction did not occur in Iraq alone, however.”

  10. “Its goal is to establish legal foundations for an international mechanism that respects Iraq's sovereignty and its jurisdiction in the area of evidence-collection in order to prosecute terrorists before international courts for their grave crimes in Iraq and other countries in the world. The Council is well aware of the fact that the Iraqi judicial system dates back to the Code of Hammurabi, established between 1792-1742 BC, which became the world's penal code. Iraq applauds the efforts of the United Kingdom to work with Iraq, in Baghdad and New York, over the past months in order to come up with draft a resolution that would respond to Iraq's concerns. We would like to extend our special thanks to the Permanent Representative and his team at the British Mission in New York, as well as the team working at the British Embassy in Baghdad.”

  11. “Mr. Al-Jafari (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): IfI may, at the outset I should like to congratulate Ethiopia on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month and thank it for its work in convening this meeting. I would also like to thank Egypt for its work during its presidency of the Council last month. On 19 September 2016, we held a high-level meeting (see S/PV.7775) at Headquarters in which Iraq, the United Kingdom and Belgium, among others, participated. On that ocassion, we demonstrated the unity of the international community by condemning the grave human rights violations committed by Da'esh terrorist gangs in Iraq and pledged to bring the perpetrators to justice. Today's historic resolution 2379 (2017) is the result of constructive cooperation and a clear understanding between Iraq and the United Kingdom.”
