A/HRC/28/18 79. In order to ensure justice for all victims in Iraq of violations of international humanitarian law and human rights, and in the light of the ongoing armed conflict, The High Commissioner recommends that: The Government of Iraq: • Ensure that all alleged crimes are investigated in line with international human rights standards, and perpetrators are brought to justice. • Take the necessary steps for Iraq to become a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and ensure that the international crimes defined in the Rome Statute are criminalized under domestic law; and in the meantime, accept the Court’s jurisdiction over the current situation, under article 12, paragraph 3 of the Rome Statute. • Ensure that the findings of all Government-initiated investigations into violations of international humanitarian and human rights law are made public and lead to effective remedies for victims. • Engage in a rights-based, inclusive and meaningful political dialogue to bring the current crisis to an end; and foster a national reconciliation process that represents the legitimate interests and grievances of all Iraqis. • Ensure that all Iraqis currently displaced have access to essential services and fundamental rights, such as access to adequate health care and education; establish non-discriminatory procedures for access to safe zones, taking into consideration the humanitarian imperative; and ensure durable solutions for all displaced populations, recognizing their right to return and their right as Iraqi citizens to reside in any part of the country. • Ensure that victims of the international crimes documented in the present report, particularly survivors of sexual abuse and sexual slavery, receive adequate support, including psychosocial support and medical care. • Ensure the protection of mass graves and that with measures are taken to identify the dead and launch an efficient investigation to determine the circumstances under which death occurred. • Investigate allegations that ISF and armed groups acting under its control failed to protect communities persecuted by ISIL. • Invite the special procedures of the Human Rights Council, in particular the Special Rapporteurs on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions and on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as well as the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, to visit Iraq to monitor and report on the human rights situation. The Human Rights Council: • Ensure that the situation of human rights in Iraq remains on the agenda of the Council by continuing to closely follow the situation in Iraq with a view to ensuring that perpetrators of violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human rights law are held accountable through the establishment of appropriate monitoring and investigating mechanisms. • Urge the Security Council to remain seized of and to address, in the strongest terms, information that points to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and call on the Security Council to consider referring the situation in Iraq to the International Criminal Court. 17
