  1. It is important that Member States, as well as regional and international organizations, provide appropriate legal assistance and capacity-building to the Government of Iraq in order to strengthen its courts and judicial system. Let me conclude by expressing our full support for the efforts aimed at ensuring the accountability ofDa'esh members for all of the crimes they have committed, not only in Iraq but also in other parts of the world.

  2. We also note that the Special Adviser briefed the Security Council Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015) concerning the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Da'esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities. Furthermore, we note his visit to Iraq and the series of engagements with senior officials from the executive, legislative and judicial branches of Government at various levels, as well as with survivors, civil society groups and members of different communities. In the light of the severity of the crimes committed by Da'esh and the magnitude of the challenge the country faces, Iraq will need appropriate technical support and capacity-building.

  3. In that regard, we support the establishment of the Investigative Team, headed by a Special Adviser, to support Iraq's efforts by collecting and preserving evidence of acts that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed by Da'esh. We believe that that should be done with full respect for the sovereignty of Iraq and its jurisdiction over crimes committed on its territory. We note that the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da'esh formally began its work and submitted its first report (see S/2018/1031) on the basis of resolution 2379 (2017).

  4. The adoption of the resolution was an appropriate response to the request made by the Government of Iraq calling for the assistance of the international community in ensuring the accountability of members of Da'esh for the crimes they committed. Through its commission of acts involving murder, kidnapping, hostage-taking, suicide bombings and the destruction of cultural heritage, Da'esh has committed very serious crimes that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide. We will never forget the loss of our compatriots who were mercilessly massacred by Da'esh in Libya, and that is one of the reasons that we supported the adoption of resolution 2379 (2017): to hold members of Da'esh accountable for the crimes committed in Iraq.

  5. Let me join other members of the Security Council in congratulating Cote d'Ivoire on its assumption of the presidency of the Council this month, and we assure you, Sir, of Ethiopia's support and cooperation. We also congratulate China on the successful completion of its work during its presidency for the month of November. We extend our sincere condolences to the United States of America on the passing of former President George H.W. Bush. We thank Special Adviser Khan for his first briefing on Da'esh accountability in Iraq. It was under Ethiopia's presidency that resolution 2379 (2017) was adopted, with a view to ensuring the accountability of members of Da'esh for their crimes in Iraq, including cases that may amount to crimes against humanity.
