  1. To conclude, we wish to see tangible and effective results from the Investigative Team on the basis of a clear timeline and without preconditions. That will enable us to ensure accountability and promote reconstruction, in line with the letter addressed by Iraq to the President of the Security Council on 16 September.

  2. This progress could not have been achieved without the support of the Iraq authorities, whom we commend. Furthermore, cooperation with the Iraqi authorities is ongoing in capacity-building and exchange of expertise. We call on the Security Council and the international community to continue to provide political support and financial and human resources to Iraq in order to ensure that the Investigative Team can deliver on its mandate. The Security Council should not lose sight of the main rationale for the establishment of the Investigative Team under resolution 2379 (2017), namely, to collect and analyse evidence and to transmit it to the Iraqi authorities, in full respect for Iraq’s sovereignty and its jurisdiction over the crimes perpetrated on its soil.

  3. This brings us closer to creating a database for well-established evidence with a view to ensuring accountability. Furthermore, we welcome the use of advanced technology by the Investigative Team in the collection and analysis of evidence, especially through the Zeteo automatic facial recognition technology and the digitization of documents. We welcome the partnerships with technology in ensuring accountability. We also welcome the approach of the Investigative Team, based and rooted in the gender-dimension, the rights of minorities, human rights and the rights of witnesses and escapees. Information should be made available with respect to those categories of individuals and there should be an emphasis on matters related to sexual and gender-based violence.

  4. I also wish to commend the progress that has been achieved by the Investigative Team since the beginning of its mandate, in particular its prompt adaptation to the challenges that have been imposed by the coronavirus disease pandemic, and its achievements at various levels during the period under review, including the collection and storage of data and evidence, capacity- building for the Iraqi authorities and partnerships with the various stakeholders in Iraq, including civil society and victims. Tunisia welcomes the opening of the third case on the crime of genocide in Badush prison and the investigative work on the use of chemical and biological weapons by Da’esh, as well as the transmission of evidence on financing for terrorism.
