  1. “Still, I seize this opportunity to call on the international community once gain, as Member States and as international organizations, to continue to assist the Iraqi Government win its fight against terrorism in order to achieve the liberation of the areas controlled now by that criminal group and to hold accountable its members as well as those who have provided it with support. I call on the international community to assist with the rehabilitation of the victims of terrorism, particularly the Victims of sexual violence, especially women, and to rehabilitate them psychologically, providing them with the necessary skills to guarantee their return to their central role in Iraqi society and to help the country prosper.”

  2. “The Iraqi Government has sought, to the best of its abilities, to provide a rapid response in order to offer relief and assistance to the survivors. The regional Government of Kurdistan has also formed a special committee focused on genocide that seeks to receive and assist female survivors. Both Governments are also assisting internally displaced persons and providing them with humanitarian assistance. Based on the foregoing, I would like to seize the two opportunities presented to me - that of my presence here and the fact that today is the Yazidi New Year, an occasion we cannot truly celebrate when such a large number of Yazidi women have taken hostage and kidnapped.”

  3. “The Iraqi Government was among the first to respond to the requirements of resolution 1325 (2000), concerning the promotion and protection of women. We have adopted a national action plan to implement that resolution and have launched two national strategies in that regard, the first for the promotion of women and the second for combating violence against women and for taking the necessary steps in that regard. That makes Iraq the first State in the Middle East to begin implementing the resolution. Despite all the suffering that Iraq has endured at the hands of terrorists, Iraq today is continuing to implement the national action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). That is in addition to a number of special measures to respond to the new, urgent needs resulting from ISIL's attacks, particularly against women.”

  4. “Its practices and criminality have exposed the group's intent to take humankind back to ancient times, when human dignity was regularly trampled upon and humans were bought and sold like merchandise in the market. The criminals of ISIL have established markets for the sale of women and children and have set prices for the women who are ISIL's victims, and especially members of the Yazidi sect, in blatant contravention of all norms and dictates of both divine and worldly laws. The Iraqi Government has taken a number of steps and adopted a number of resolutions. To the best of its abilities, the Iraqi Parliament has issued a number of laws to promote and improve the situation of Iraqi women and guarantee their enjoyment of all their civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights.”

  5. “Along with the numerous other criminal and savage acts committed by ISIL against innocent Iraqis, which in terms of their criminality and violence deserve to be considered crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide based on prevailing legal norms, sexual Violence was one of the central components used by ISIL. The facts indicate that Violence and sexual attacks form a significant part of ISIL's criminal doctrine, which includes all forms of sexual violence, including kidnapping, rape, sexual slavery, genital mutilation and trafficking in persons for sexual purposes, as well as forced marriage, forced pregnancy and forced abortion. Today, ISIL's barbarity defies understanding.”

  6. “First, we fully concur with paragraph 28 of the report, as the year 2014 was one of the bloodiest years in Iraq since 2003, particularly the second half of that year, when the entire Iraqi population began to suffer from the brutal attacks launched by the enemies of humankind and civilization - namely, the terrorists of the criminal group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). That included every manner of attack on the lives, security and dignity of Iraqi citizens from every social sphere, as well as threats to the very existence of Iraqi society and its safety, security, stability and the peaceful coexistence of its components.”

  7. “Mrs. Dakhil (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to congratulate the delegation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We wish them every success in their task. I would also like to thank the Government of my country for providing me with the opportunity to participate in this debate. I express my appreciation to the Secretary- General for his annual report on sexual violence during armed conflicts for the period of January to December 2014 (S/2015/203). Moroever, I wish to commend the important part played by the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict and the outstanding role that office plays in that context. I would like to make several remarks in the context of the Secretary-General's report.”

  8. “Thirdly, we urge the international community to expedite its campaign to eradicate the terrorist ISIL group, in particular from the Government of Mosul, to enable us to free the more than 3,000 kidnapped Yazidi women who continue to suffer physical and psychological torture. Fourthly, we request the Council to support and arm the Iraqi Army, including the Peshmerga and all Iraqi forces that are fighting ISIL on behalf of the entire world. Fifthly, we ask the international community to undertake the reconstruction of the cities that have been destroyed by terrorism and to redress the results of those terrorist attacks on our communities.”

  9. “We are bought and sold like goods in the market for no reason. It is indeed a special opportunity for me appear before the Security Council - our last resort - and to present both our suffering and our hopes. We have been oppressed because of our religion and our faith, because the Takfiri groups consider us infidels. To summarize, what we seek from the Council, first of all, is to define the Yazidis' suffering as a genocide and to adopt a resolution in that regard. Our suffering meets all the criteria for the crime of genocide. Secondly, we ask the Council to impose international protection for minorities where they live, especially the Yazidis, who will not otherwise be able to return to their homeland even if it is liberated after what we have suffered at the hands of ISIL and their supporters.”

  10. “Almost 1,000 children between the ages of4 and 10 have been taken by force from their families and are being held in ISIL training camps in order to create a new generation of terrorists. Some 3,000 Yazidi girls have been kidnapped and being sold in slave markets inside and outside Iraq after being violated by all means, including physically and psychologically. The price for one Yazidi girl is $18. In what age are we living? More than 2,000 Yazidis were slaughtered in cold blood by ISIL and its terrorist personnel for no other reason than that we are Yazidis and profess a religion different from that professed by ISIL. We are being killed. Our women are being raped. Our girls are being sold. Our children are being abducted and taken to places where we have no idea what will become of them.”

  11. “That is clear proof that ISIL has neither religion nor humanity and that it does not belong to Islam, which stands above any crime being committed in its name. I would like to present the Council with some statistics to illustrate the suffering of the Yazidis. Until 3 August 2014, and prior to ISIL's attack on Mount Sinjar, the Yazidis were a peace-loving, primarily agricultural people whose number was approximately 600,000. Today, 420,000 Yazidis are displaced persons living in camps in the Kurdistan region, with another 8,000 confined to camps in Syria and Turkey. Some 5,680 people, including men, women girls, children and the elderly, have been kidnapped.”

  12. “They made tremendous sacrifices as a result of the crimes committed against them - crimes unprecedented in the history of the world - which affected women, children and the elderly, and brought back the age of slavery by capturing Yazidi women and turning them into objects for sale. These are crimes that bring shame to all of humankind and that confront the international community not only with a moral responsibility but also the legal one to help free the Iraqi people in general and specifically Iraq's minorities from the grip of terrorism. No people was spared - not the Christians, not the Yazidis, not the Shabaks, not the Kurds, not the Shia. We have all heard about the crime that took place at Camp Speicher, where 1,500 people were killed in one day.”

  13. “I would also like to convey the greetings and best wishes of the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Mr. Salim Al-Jabouri, who wishes this meeting every success. I also bring greetings from the Government and people of the Kurdish region of Iraq along with their hope for the Council's support for any resolution that would help the Iraqi people. The terrorist organization ISIL constitutes a real threat and danger to international peace and security. Today, Iraqis of all backgrounds and ethnicities are on the front line in facing that threat. I am sad to say that minorities in Iraq * Christians, Yazidis, Shabaks and Turkmen, among others - were that organization's first victims and the groups most gravely affected by their campaign of aggression. They were the ones who directly faced the Iraqi terrorists' guns.”

  14. “Mrs. Dakhil (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): On behalf of the Yazidis and all oppressed persons in Iraq, allow me to express my deep thanks and gratitude to His Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development of France and to the Government and people of France for the humanitarian stance toward our people. We also wish to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Ban Ki-moon for his commendable efforts to achieve peace in the whole world. I stand before the Security Council today, not to speak on behalf of the Yazidi population, which has suffered immeasurably in Iraq at the hands of the worst and most dangerous terrorist organisation in the world, but on behalf of Iraqis of all ethnicities, who have paid a huge price due to the aggression of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).”
