Human Rights Watch this week urged Iraq to join the International Criminal Court, in order to ensure that Islamic State leaders who committed crimes can be brought to justice.
“Without Iraq joining the ICC, Baghdadi [ISIS leader] cannot be tried there, as he is an Iraqi national,” Balkees Jarrah with Human Rights Watch, was quoted by RUDAW as saying.
“That is needed for the persecutor to be able to examine potential abuses there,” Jarrah added.
The UN Human Rights Council's report following a fact finding mission to the region, urged the UN Security Council to ensure that the International Criminal Court is given jurisdiction to investigate the crimes.
