In Iraq, UN chief pledges support as Government tackles ongoing threat from ISIL

30 March 2015 Despite recent military gains against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), vast challenges remain ahead as the Government of Iraq fights to consolidate its territorial integrity against the terrorist threat, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today during an unannounced visit to Baghdad.

We will continue to do all we can to assist the people and Government of Iraq to end this crisis so that they may focus their energy and resources on building a more peaceful, stable, democratic and prosperous future for all Iraqis, Mr. Ban told reporters in the Iraqi capital.

The Secretary-General warned that the people of Iraq had suffered unconscionable levels of casualties as a result of ISILs advance across the country which, he added, had caused the displacement of over 2.5 million people and the destruction of Iraqs cultural heritage.

The threat of additional and secondary displacement during ongoing military operations may overwhelm local and international capacities, he warned, while calling for additional humanitarian resources in order to save lives in Iraqs conflict-ridden areas.

He added that alleged violations or abuses of human rights must also be investigated and perpetrators need to be held to account.

A report by the UN human rights office (OHCHR) recently found that ISIL, also known as Daesh, has committed widespread abuses throughout territories under its control in both Iraq and Syria, some of which may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Compiled by investigators sent to the region last year by OHCHR, the report highlights violations, including killings, torture, rape and sexual slavery, forced religious conversions and the conscription of children.
