Shafaqna English– Yazidi MP Sherif Suleiman Ali urged to implement UN’s recommendations addressing the enduring impact of the 2014 Daesh genocide.
His appeal followed a UN’s Security Council briefing where UN’s Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Iraq Mohamed Al-Hassan praised Iraq’s recognition of Yazidi land rights as a “significant milestone,” citing over 1,300 ownership letters and nearly 100 title deeds issued this year, while cautioning that paperwork alone won’t restore lives, urging a national strategy that includes reparations, security guarantees, and efforts to locate thousands of missing Yazidis from the Sinjar attack.
In a statement, Ali endorsed Al-Hassan’s remarks as an “accurate” reflection of the crisis, pushing for action beyond symbolic recognition. “Genocide, abductions, and displacement persist. Many Yazidi women remain missing, and families can’t return.”
