The Government of Iraq continues to implement the death penalty despite repeated calls, including those of the Secretary-General and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, to implement a moratorium on the death penalty with a view to its abolition, in accordance with relevant resolutions of the General Assembly. 83. While officially no executions have been carried out in Iraq in 2015, UNAMI/OHCHR received reports that four individuals were executed in March in al-Hoot prison in Nassiriyah. UNAMI/OHCHR informed the Government that lack of transparency in the application of the death penalty constitutes a violation of the State’s international legal obligations with regard to due process and transparency. 84. UNAMI/OHCHR also intervened with several government officials with regard to a number of cases where individuals (including two foreign nationals) were sentenced to death for crimes allegedly committed while juveniles, urging their execution be immediately stayed and their ages be properly determined, whereupon the verdicts should be set aside and the individuals in question be retried in accordance with standards applicable to juveniles. 11 For instance, see Human Rights (CCPR/C/82/D/1110/2002), para. 5.2.
