[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Nobel Peace Prize winner Nadia Murad pleaded with the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Security Council on Monday to refer the ISIS group to the International Criminal Court after UN Sherlocks concluded the murderous Moslems committed "genocide" against Yazidis in Iraq.
"International tribunals are needed to address the universal magnitude of ISIS crimes against humanity," said Murad, using another acronym for the group.
"We asked you to refer this genocide to the ICC or establish a court by treaty. It is time for the international community to do more. It is time to act," added the 2018 Nobel winner, herself a victim of ISIS violence.
Murad referred to the latest report from a group of UN Sherlocks, headed by Karim Asad Ahmad Khan and created in 2017 to probe crimes committed by ISIS.
"The evidence collected by Mr Khan and the unit team affirmed the conclusion reached by the United Nations in 2016. ISIS crimes against Yazidis constitutes genocide," said Murad, AFP reported.
"The Council must now prioritize and accelerate concrete action to address the findings," she added.
The report released Monday completed probes into attacks against the Yazidi community in the Sinjar region and the mass killing of unarmed cadets and military personnel at Tikrit ...birthplace of Saddam Hussein... Air Academy in June 2014.
Khan told a presser presenting the findings there was "clear and convincing evidence that genocide was committed by ISIS against the Yazidi as a religious group."
"Evidence collected by the Team had also confirmed ISIS was responsible for acts of extermination, murder, rape, torture, enslavement, persecution and other war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated against the Yazidis," he said.
The report found the "repeated deployment of chemical weapons ...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented... by ISIS against civilian populations in Iraq between 2014 and 2016, as well as the testing of biological agents on prisoners."
