  1. “Iraq calls upon all countries to honour their obligations and strengthen efforts to uncover trafficking in persons operations and put an end to them.”

  2. “In order to implement those two resolutions, Iraq started work with the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, and those efforts led to the signing of a joint statement with Ms. Zainab Bangura on 23 September 2016 at United Nations Headquarters. That agreement is the start of joint efforts between Iraq and the United Nations to address head-on such violations and barbaric acts perpetrated by Da'esh and other parties. Ms. Bangura, along with a group of legal experts, visited Iraq from 25 February to 3 March. During that visit, she spoke with the President of the Governing Council, religious leaders and the presidents of various institutions to explore the various legal options.”

  3. “In addition, the Iraqi Constitution contains articles that prohibit forced labour, slavery and trafficking in women and children. Trafficking in persons, slavery and forced labour are practices that help to finance terrorist groups. Da'esh criminal gangs have kidnapped thousands of Iraqi citizens, in particular Yazidi women and children and have exposed them to human trafficking and slavery. Such victims have been subjected to the worse forms of inhumane treatment. Iraq therefore requires support to liberate victims and restore their dignity. Iraq calls upon member States to implement the relevant resolutions, including resolutions 2195 (2014) and 2242 (2015). In those two resolutions, the Council indicated that sexual violence is a part of the strategic and ideological objectives advocated by terrorist groups.”

  4. “Mr. Mashkoor (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): My delegation would like to thank the delegation of the United Kingdom for convening today's debate. We wish the United Kingdom every success in its presidency of the Security Council this month. Trafficking in persons undermines the rule of law and fuels transnational organized crime, which exacerbates insecurity. Iraq became party to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime in 2009 because it is a central pillar in the fight against international crimes. To comply with its obligations under the Convention, Iraq adopted Law No. 28 of 2012 on combating trafficking in persons, with a view to establishing mechanisms to assist victims of trafficking, put an end to the crime and punish such a reprehensible act.”

  5. “We urge the relevant international parties to move faster and overcome the impediments that have made it difficult to achieve the two-State solution.”

  6. “However, as a result of the intransigence of Israel, which does not believe in the Palestinian right to self- determination or to recovery of the usurped territories, Iraq does not expect that any international conference can succeed. The experience of past conferences does not encourage us to expect anything more than diplomatic courtesies, which do not really respond to the suffering of our Palestinian brothers living under occupation. We would like to express our solidarity with our brothers in occupied Palestine and their struggle, which is legitimate under the rules of international law, for the establishment of an independent, contiguous and viable Palestinian, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the 1967 borders.”

  7. “We also call on the Council to ensure the complete withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories to the borders of 1967, in accordance with resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973). Iraq welcomes the French initiative on the convening of an international conference on the Palestinian question and the peace process. We would hope that the initiative would lead to tangible results by providing an international political impetus for the peace process and by addressing all the issues that have made it difficult to arrive at a peaceful solution to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. We would also hope that it would ensure the establishment of a viable Palestinian State that can exist in peace and assume its place in the international community.”

  8. “Israel uses a policy of collective punishment that was prevalent in the Middle Ages. The siege on Gaza, the detentions, the increasing rate of violence and the imposition of collective punishment, as well as the provocations by Jewish extremist settlers, serve only to exacerbate tensions in Palestine and the Middle East region in general. Iraq calls on the Security Council to provide international protection for the Palestinian people in all of the occupied Palestinian territories, in accordance with the relevant international conventions and international humanitarian law, in order to put an end to the unprecedented violations committed against the sacred shrines in Jerusalem, including Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

  9. “Settler colonialism can be considered to be the strategic, military pillar of the policy to Judaize the occupied territories and to impose a fait accompli on the Arab States and the Palestinians in negotiations. While there was a sincere intention on the part of the Arab party to end this long-standing dispute and to achieve a just peace, those policies have undermined peace efforts in the region. The demolition of Palestinian homes by the Israeli occupation authorities will not bring peace to Israel. It is an inhumane act that runs counter to the right to housing. Israel also violates the standards of criminal law, which calls for the punishment of those who commit the crime in question. As such, criminal law cannot impose collective punishment on family members.”

  10. “Mr. Mashkoor (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me to congratulate the People's Republic of China on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April. We would like to thank you, Sir, for convening this open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. I would also like to congratulate Angola for its wise leadership of the Council last month. The policies of Israel, the occupying Power, rely heavily on building more settlements on lands that have been confiscated from their Arab owners, on extracting the natural resources and on subjecting the Palestinian economy and market to the laws of the occupying Power. The end purpose is to control the future of the Palestinian people and prevent their sustainable development.”
