complexes affiliated to Sinijar jurisdiction were liberated two years ago, however its inhabitants couldn’t return to their homelands due to lack of services and infrastructure. Third: passing a resolution recognizing the crime against Yazidis as “genocide” and perpetrators of such crimes must be brought to justice, as this resolution will assure us and establish justice. In 2005, UN Human Rights Council (HRC), based on the acquired information, recognized what happened to minorities in Iraq a crime of genocide. In February of the same year, the EU Parliament described Isis practices as a crime of genocide, and in March the American Congress voted on a resolution describing Isis practices against minorities as a crime of genocide. The Canadian parliament also discussed the issue and implicitly acknowledged it and delegated the government to take necessary actions. While we hail the stance of these parliaments, we also hope their respective governments follow suit and take necessary actions to call upon the UN Security Council to refer this case to the International Court of Justice so that perpetrators of such crimes are brought to justice, or passing a resolution that stipulates establishing an international court to prosecute perpetrators. Fourth: Religious minority groups are often misunderstood and stereotyped, and this often fuels anti-minority discrimination and hate discourse. Too often clergymen dubbed us “unbelievers”, and because of their heavy presence in the society in addition to such hate discourse, return of minority group to their indigenous land and cohabitation became hard if not impossible. Dubbing Azidis “unbelievers” was one of the main reasons that pushed Isis to treat our minority in a different way. Christians were given the choice to convert to Islam or paying bounty or moving out from the Caliphate land. However, Isis’s treatment with Yazidis was either adopting Islam or killing and taking our women captives, and our possessions bounty. Therefore, I urge you to call up the governments of Iraq and Kurdistan province to criminalize such provocative discourses which only lead to crimes and anti-minority discrimination, and passing anti-discrimination law. Fifth: Urging the International Alliances and all forces participating in liberation of Isis-controlled areas in Iraq and Syria to launch selective operations to free the 3659 Yazidi in captivity. Sixth: on concluding my statement I would like to extend my thanks to the German government for the program it launched for receiving 1100 displaced women, men and children. I urge them to re-introduce this program as there are more than 1600 displaced Yazidis in camps living under adverse conditions. Mr. President
