1. Introduction
Since the start of the peaceful sit-ins of December 2012, numerous peaceful protestshave sprung up and spread in the Sunni Iraqi provinces against the sectarian political
system, and the continued violation of human rights by the repressive Maliki forces.
Instead of negotiating the legal, legitimate demands of the protesters, the Maliki
regime conducted a brutal crackdown on the protests, the brutality increasing
gradually with time. The number of arbitrary mass arrests increased with a parallelincrease in killings in an attempt to exterminate the protesters. This was especially
evident in the three consecutive crimes that took place at the beginning of 2013,
where protesters were gathered in the cities of al Huwayja, Fallujah, an Mosul.Malikis regime justified its policy with the excuse of fighting terrorism, then
declared that the demands of the protesters were legitimate, only to go back to declarewar on terrorism, a war that in reality is a war against those who oppose that regime
and its sectarian government.
The Kurdish Coalition considered the DAISH (Dawlat al Islam fi al Iraq wal Sham,
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) question to be more of a political
fabrication than a terrorist reason, Mr. Shuwan Muhammad Taha, a representative on
behalf of the Kurdish Coalition, in an interview with Sumeria News, accusing Iitilaf
Dawlat al Qanun (Rule of Law Coalition) of calling all of those who oppose it on theDAISH question terrorists (19). The policies of political marginalization and
persecution have reached the representatives of Maliki MPs, when they accusingtheir colleagues within Parliament of being DAISHIs. A representative for Iitilaf
Dawlat al Qanun, Mr. Muhammad Sadoun al Seyhud claimed that the political parties
that refused to be present under the Parliamentary Dome to approve the new budget
were all DAISHi
Now, increasingly the fact of genocide plan with increasing such statements that callfor genocide under the pretext of terrorism, according to an Iraqi newspaper term
lawmakers (Mada) said on the MPs of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, said there wasno part in Anbar valid to be as party in a dialogue with the government, and that raises
the political initiatives not only serve the terrorists. Mr. Hussein Saffi (MP in Dawaparty) in a statement to this newspaper "pointing out that military effort is the only
solution to end the crisis in Anbar, rejecting calls for dialogue advocated by some
political sides, wondering "dialogue with whom?", and added," No political party in
Anbar even talk with them, they are a group of terrorists, and any trying to confuse it
supports terrorism"(30).
Before the military operations in the province of al Anbar began, Maliki declared thatlarge units would be directed to go to Anbar desert, especially the Houran Valley,with a lot of troops from the rest of the provinces, in order to combat terrorism and the
terrorist groups that he claims have arrived from Syria!!. But, after the operationsbegan in Anbar Desert, he changed the redirected all of his troops to the cities of Al
Ramadi and Fallujah in a clear act of sectarian-based extermination. Repressive
policies like these were the main motivation for the uprising in the first place, in
addition to the general public refusing to ignore the existence the crimes of his
unconstitutional private forces, SWAT. The military operations began on Malikis
part when he, with the use of the military, arrested an MP, Mr. Ahmed Al-Alwani and
assassinated his brother and his sister-in-law. Immediately afterwards, he ordered
attacks on the protesters in the square in Al Rumadi, in order to make sure that theprotests would not remain peaceful, and that it would turn into a sectarian conflict,
8/13/2019 Government War Crimes in Anbar Province: Fallujah as Example
3/16
one which he could manipulate to his advantage in the election of April 2014. Since
December 22, the Maliki government has been carrying out an operation in the Anbar
desert under the banner of fighting the terrorist groups that are hiding there, but it
soon became clear that it was a widespread, armed attack directed at the residential
areas in Rumadi and Fallujah, with random bombing of buildings using heavy
artillery, tanks, and air strikes.
Unfortunately, the Security Councils declaration of support for the Maliki war onterror has not taken into consideration the deadly attacks carried out against innocent
Sunnis, and the opposition in general. This grossly inappropriate reaction on the partof the international community is the result of the UNAMI failing to bring accurately
relate the humanitarian crisis and genocide crimes by the Mailiki regimes
operations. Evidence of the corruption and deliberate cover-up on the part of the
UNAMI in favor of the Maliki regime can be seen in its disregard for human rights,
as shown in the delay in the periodical reports of the human rights situation in Iraq.
This report originally was released every three months, then every six months, and
now it is released only once a year, making it not as accurate of an analysis. The
UNAMI has also failed to take any action by invitation the Special Rapporteurs of
human rights to Iraqi for investigate the mass crimes and violations of Maliki regime,despite the numerous reports that expose his brutality and repression.
The continuing genocidal policies against the Sunnis in Iraq motivated a member of
the European Parliament, Mr. Struan Stevenson, who heads the European Parliament
Committee on Relations with Iraq, to say that Iraq is regressing quickly to a state of
civil war and ethnic cleansing. His point is made even clearer through the televised
speeches by Maliki, in which he threatens the protesters, and, with sectarian language,
encourages supporters to aid him in his struggle against the residents of Anbar.
In the midst of this political drama, the residents of Anbar and Fallujah have been
forced to take action in order to protect themselves from the very real threat that theMaliki forces pose. Self-defense of course, is a right that has been enshrined in all
Divine and human-made legal codes, and is a necessity for the inhabitants of these
provinces in the face of the criminal policies of this sectarian government.
The dangerous situation of systematic targeting against the residents of Anbar,
especially those in the cities of Al Rumadi, Fallujah, al Karmah, and al Khalidiyah, in
addition to the governments decision to cut off all humanitarian aid to those cities as
well as nearby cities which host thousands of refugees, all confirm the policy of
sectarian extermination which many international politicians and analysts have
warned of. The inhuman cruelty of the attacks carried out by the Maliki regimedemands the international communitys immediate intervention in order to stop the
massacres mentioned in this report, keeping in mind that the population of Fallujah
and its nearby towns adds up to 650,000 civilians.

2. Crimes of Genocide and Collective Punishments Against Civilians
Since the start of the military operations in Fallujah on 22 Dec. 2013, theindiscriminate bombing of the city targeted all aspects of life within it. The residents
of Fallujah have accused the Maliki government of murdering their children by
bombing schools and demolishing mosques and homes (22,10,23). The victims of the
Iraqi forces artillery, which are centered in Mazraa Camp near Fallujah, have
confirmed that many bombs fell on their houses in the morning, while families werehaving breakfast, injuring numerous women and children in the village of Sbeyhat
(the city of Karma) near Fallujah (4). An elderly man (living in the area of Jubeil)
who was injured upon exiting the taxi-cab that had taken him to the city fromBaghdad, claimed that the military had opened fire on him meters after he left the area
which they controlled. He was transported to the hospital with life-threateningwounds and a critical state of shock (6).
The family of a young girl who was shot during a battle in the Naimiyah area of the
city confirmed that the conflict has forced all the residents to flee, and that the
regimes forces targeted families attempting to return to their homes (7). Eye-
witnesses and citizens related to victims in the city of Karmah have released a video
of panicking orphaned children whose orphanage had been bombed and reduced to
rubble (9). Towards the end of January 2014, Liqaa Wardi, an MP accused the Malikigovernment of failing to fulfill its promise of stopping the bombing of Fallujah and
other cities in the south of Anbar, claiming that over 15 rockets had been fired in thedifferent areas of city. Wardi said in an interview with Sumeria News that the central
government has not stood by its promise of ceasing the shelling in Falluja city, where
15 rockets and mortars were dropped in the areas of Naimiyah, Buwahwy, and
Jamilah, south of Qadaa, resulting in many casualties, including a female refugee who
was living in a school (15).
Another witness was Mr. Hmed al-Isawy, aged 32, who was a assistant in a high
school in Amriya, Fallujah. He recalled for us that on January 28, 2014, governmentforces bombed the Buwahwy area, near Fallujah, and blew up several houses, and
killed livestock, as can be seen in the images attached below. This incident has beenconfirmed also by Ms. Aum Jamal, when she was present with her family displaced
from Fallujah, in a mosque at this area when the shells rained down on as
indiscriminate shelling on the area, many residents rushed to her children rescued by
smuggled with the families of the other car out of the danger zone. She has been
displaced from her house in Fallujah ( neighborhood Ressala) out of Fallujah because
of the indiscriminate shelling on Fallujah, and fear for her children life (32).

2. 1. Statistics Regarding the Victims of Shelling in Residential Areas
The chief of the Residing Physicians in General Fallujah Hospital, Dr Ahmed Shami
Jassem, spoke to us about the number of victims as of January 27 th2014, saying there
were 313 severely wounded civilians (amongst them 31 children, 31 women). The
number of dead is 59 martyrs (amongst them 10 children and 4 women). He added
that bullets caused most of the wounds during the first three days of the operation,
which proves that military tried to force their way into the neighborhoods of the city.This contrasts with the wounds that he treated after January 3 rd 2014, which were
caused by shrapnel due to the indiscriminate shelling of the city and its homes (2).
We were able to find an official medical document that confirms that the number of
civilian casualties in Fallujah since the beginning of the military operation by the
Maliki Regime on December 30 2013 up until February 5th2014 is 452 victims. Of
them, 69 have died, and 383 were wounded. Of the wounded, 40 were children and 39
were women, and amongst the dead 10 were children and 4 were women (12). While
another medical sources in Fallujah said the number of martyrs reached 85, while the
wounded had exceeded the 400 injured, mostly children, women and the elderly (30).2.2. Eye-Witness Accounts of the Indiscriminate Shelling
Many satellite television channels have tried to relay to the public the indiscriminate
shelling against the civilians in the city of Fallujah (18). Below, we have excerpts of
some cases and eyewitness accounts of victims and their families as following:
1) According to documentary films passed on a satellite channel and workers in place
mortuary in General Hospital, has killed two families of six members were eating
their dinner during the fall of the shell on them in the house the night of January 23 to
24, 2014, as the wounded wife one and remained the daughter of one of them the only
survivor of the accident and the accompanying image her name is Ayat Mohammed
Fayyad (10 years old) , note that the incident occurred in the neighborhood of Nazzal
(5) .
2) Lamiaa (25 year-old) spoke to us about one of her female relatives who lay besideher in the Intensive Care Unit of the Fallujah hospital. She said that her house was
targeted with mortars and heavy artillery, fired at them from the Naimiya Police
Station during the government forces attack on the residential neighborhood. Her
relative said that she was shot in the head, and surgeons had to intervene in order to
8/13/2019 Government War Crimes in Anbar Province: Fallujah as Example
6/16
remove the shrapnel from her head and she currently is bed-ridden and is in critical
condition (1).
3) A child young girl (Assile Jaber Hamid Ghatran) (aged 14), she was wounded by
shrapnel in her neck, the upper right side of her body, and the lower left side of her
body, as can be seen in the picture below.
4) The children girl (Adian Omar) from al Dubbat District, aged 4 months, waswounded on the evening of January 24
th2014 due to a mortar landing on her relatives
house. A window near her fell upon her, severely wounding her head, as can be seen
in the images attached below.
5) The young girl (Fatima Thamir Hamid) (11 years old) was wounded by shrapnel on
her left hand, as can be seen in the image below.
6) Documented information has reached us from medical sources regarding the
civilians who arrived in the Fallujah hospital on January 30 th, 2014. Their images can
be seen below, and they are:
1. Iman Muhammad Abdel-Razzaq, 40 years, female, wounded in Karmah,Fallujah

2. Ishaaq Saleh Muhammad, 4 years, male, wounded in Karmah, Fallujah3. Abire Saleh Muhammad, 18 years, female, wounded in Karmah, Fallujah4. Shurouq Burhan Ali, 7 years, female, wounded in Resalah, Fallujah5. Ashwaq Muhammad Jassem, 25 years, female, wounded in Resalah, Fallujah6. Sarah Muhammad Awdah, 13 years, wounded in Karma, Fallujah7. Fatima Muhammad Awdah, 15 years, wounded in Karmah, Fallujah8. Saleh Muhammad Abdel-Razzaq, 45 years, wounded in Karmah, Fallujah
7) Amongst the tragic stories that have been relayed to us is the story of Abu
Muhammad al Falluji (Ali al Halbusi) who lies today in the Intensive Care Unit inone of Erbils hospitals, capital of the semiautonomous territory of Kurdistan. He
has been in a situation between life and death for two weeks now, and he does not
know that he has lost two of his children due to shelling by the military. Thefamily claims that the shelling occurred on the Nazzal neighborhood in the center
8/13/2019 Government War Crimes in Anbar Province: Fallujah as Example
8/16
of Fallujah, and the shell fell upon his house, which he refused to abandon, due to
his belief that maybe a diplomatic solution would solve the Anbar Crisis. In an
interview with Mada press, Karim Hassan al Halbousi, the victims relative, said
Abu Muhammad, who is 53 years old, was an officers assistant in the former
military. After the dissolution of the military, he worked as a cab driver in a car
owned by his brother. Al Halbousi added that He provided for three children, two
of them are boys in middle schools. The lone survivor is a girl whose engagement
to her cousin was supposed to be announced but had to be postponed due to theconflict. An eyewitness clarified to us that he, on Wednesday morning (January
15th
2014) issued a warning about the number of casualties due to the density ofthe bombings. One of these stray bombs fell upon Abu Muhammads kitchen
while the family was having breakfast. He remarks that The mortar resulted in
the destruction of the entrance of the house and prevented neighbors from saving
Abu Muhammads family, except after a lengthy struggle which involved not only
direct neighbors, but people from all over the Nazzal neighborhood. He added
that the event resulted in the immediate death of Abu Muhammads two sons, and
in his own injury, in addition to resulting in his wife and daughter suffering from
minor injuries. He continues: The medical team in the Fallujah hospital
performed two urgent surgeries on Abu Muhammad, but failed to improve hiscondition or awaken him from the coma. He was placed in a coma due to a pieceof shrapnel that was lodged near his brain, in addition to damage to his liver and
right kidney, as well as several fractures in his leg. On his part, another relative
of Abu Muhammads named Ali Muhsin al Halbousi, in an interview with Mada
Press claimed that The Fallujah hospital suffers from a lack of resources and an
overcrowding of casualties. Also, it is threatened by shelling as well, for two
bombs were detonated near the Emergency Room door, which prompted us to
consider moving Abu Muhammad, but we could not decide where to we were
constantly concerned with how we could move him within the city and out of it
throughout his surgeries and despite his critical condition, because of the constant
fighting and dense shelling between the army and the armed rebels in ourneighborhoods.
8) On January 26, 2014, Dr. Wissam Jassem al Isawi admitted that the hospital
had received that morning 35 injured civilians and 7 martyrs, amongst themwomen and children. The Maliki regimes forces had begun to indiscriminately
shell the residential suburbs in the Naimiya neighborhood, Karma city, and al
Saqlawiyah city, ensuring that all of the victims were members of peaceful
families that had stayed in their homes during the shelling (21). While some local
activists published interviews with the families of the victims of pictorial civilian
was hit and damaged as a result of indiscriminate shelling by the forces of al-
Maliki regime (25).
On January 30th 2014 an MP representing Fallujah (Liqaa Wardi) criticized the
8/13/2019 Government War Crimes in Anbar Province: Fallujah as Example
9/16
Maliki regimes failure to stop the indiscriminate shelling of Fallujah (15). The
cruelty of the regimes forces against innocent civilians violates article three of the
Geneva Convention. This article demands that in the case of armed conflict in the
territory of one of the belligerents, anybody who is not participating must be
treated with humanity at all times.
2. 3. The Crimes of Bombing Medical Centers and their Cadres
Fallujah Hospital was targeted more than three times up till January 27 th by
government forces. The first time, a mortar was dropped on the hospital, which
resulted in the injury of civilians who had gone to the hospital for medicine. The
second shelling damaged the roof of the building, causing major monetary
damage. The third attack was artillery shelling which heavily damaged the
hospital, and caused a power outage. The Head of the Doctors Residing in the
Hospital confirmed that the general state of depression, terror, and fear amongstthe medical cadres was overwhelming, not to mention the dangerous
psychological effect the shelling has on the patients. In addition, medical staffs
who works in the hospital was targeted on his way to work. Mr. Muayed Salman
al Furaji was killed by bullet wounds shot by the Maliki regimes forces onJanuary 28
th, 2014 as he entered Fallujah, coming from his home in the Bufraj
area near the town of al Rumadi.
On the evening of Sunday, February 2nd
, 2014, the private hospital of Talib
Hammad was damaged by several shells fired by the Maliki regime, as is depicted
in the pictures of the journalist Shaker al Muhammadi of the Al-Waleed news
agency. Other film published of locals documenting this crime (28).
On February 4, 2014, and citing satellite Fallujah channel, a spokesman for thehospital in Fallujah Dr. Wissam al-Issawi confirmed that fall 3 shells on nearby
Falluja Medical College Hospital for the educational year, which caused some
damage of building. This accident news also confirmed by the Al-Waleed news
agency, Local News, which was published the following photos to the scene :
Mr. Muayed Salman al FurajiShel in front of the emergency
department at the hospital

2. 4. Probability Use of Shells Carrying Chemical Weapons andFissile Weapons
Some information from eyewitnesses within Fallujah has confirmed that gasses
defused from some mortar shells for several hours after they landed. Mahmoud
Nouri Kamel, one of these eyewitnesses has given us images of these thermal
shells, which fell on the city yesterday, near ice cream of Fairouza. When theshells fell, a strong flame blazed from it, and a chemical vapor that smelled like
rotten eggs wafted towards those nearby. Images below depict the occurrence.Other eyewitnesses have sent us videos of the remains of a mortar that exuded anausea-inducing vapor )8( .
An eyewitness confirmed for Al-Taghier Satellite Channel that the military usedfissile (cluster) weapons targeting markets, homes, and mosques. Medical sources in
the city hospital of Fallujah have spoken of tens of civilians suffering from injuries
and deaths due to such gases yesterday as the military tried to regain control of the
city from the tribesmen who currently lead the resistance and have control of the city
(11).
8/13/2019 Government War Crimes in Anbar Province: Fallujah as Example
11/16
3. Forced Displacement of Civilians
The brutality of the indiscriminate shelling of residential neighborhoods has forced
tens of thousands of civilians to exuding or escaping from the city. The estimation ofhumanitarian aids workers said about 40% of the original population still resides
within the city. Most of the citizens who remain depend on daily salaries, meaning
that they do not have the resources to rent a house outside of the city. Many civilians,
when interviewed by satellite television channels said that they are forced to remainunder life-threatening shelling due to their inability to leave and find refuge anywhere
else (17). Others were forced to seek refuge from the fighting in abandoned skeletal
buildings despite the lack of electricity, water, heat, and cooking utilities (24).
UN Reports confirmed the displacement of over 65,000 people due to the struggle in
the towns of Fallujah and al Rumadi, and has left over 140,000 people homeless. The
violent shelling has damaged numerous schools and hospitals and has thus displacedthose families that were residing in them.
While children's organization UNICEF pointed that more than 40 000 children have
been displaced with their families in addition to the killing and wounding many ofthem through indiscriminate shelling of the city and the organization continues its
attempts with the Maliki regime in order to create safe corridors for the exit of the
displaced families with kids. While the International Organization for Migration
(IOM) confirming on the 44 000 families have been displaced from Anbar, because of
the military campaign of the owners of the cities (30).
Many civilians moved to the villages surrounding Fallujah, and a large group of themhave moved to the north of Iraq and the other cities of Anbar and nearby Salahul Din.
Others have resorted to residing in schools, the lack of temporary housing forcing
them to live in classrooms.
The Watanya (National) Coalition, which follows the former Prime Minister, IyadAlawi has admitted in a public statement dated on February 1
st 2014 that The
residents of the city of Fallujah suffer under deteriorating humanitarian conditions
which should inspire shame in any Iraqi who seeks the continued unity of the nation,
and the protection of its future. The Watanya Coalition has also declared thatFallujah is a city in a state of disaster, and promised to send immediate delegations to
the UNAMI and the Red Crescent to provide the necessary humanitarian aid for thedisplaced families, since the government has failed to do so. This statement confirms
the sheer size of the government cover-up on this genocidal crime, which is directed
even towards refugees who fled the city because of the military operation. It also
confirms the scandalous cover up and complete disregard on the part of international
humanitarian organizations, not only in providing aid, but also in observing andimplementing the articles of the Geneva Convention in cases of war.
8/13/2019 Government War Crimes in Anbar Province: Fallujah as Example
12/16
President of the Iraqi Parliament Mr. Osama Najafi said that there are 50 000 families
have been displaced due to military operations in Anbar province, and added that the
conditions of those displaced so bad to the point of need general alarm !! Iraqi Red
Crescent Society announced, in (January 30, 2014 ) , for the high number of displaced
people from Anbar to more than 46 thousand families, emphasizing assistance to
more than 24 thousand families of it (13) . Which means more than 22 000 displaced
families stayed without humanitarian aid !!
We documented in recent days, some of the films that demonstrate the survival of
many civilians inside Fallujah on 1 - 4February 2014, near the local markets for
vegetables and food , which forced civilians to come out in these tough times forshopping or livelihood daily (20) . In addition to the deployment of activists inside the
city for the movies to prove survival of many families that their points of relief in theinner city with more than 100 000 civilians, most of them from poor families and
earning power per day, or are unable to work (29).
The greatest proof of the sectarian gov. an is the report by refugees from Anbar, when
they arrived to the capitol Baghdad, complaining of restrictions placed on them by the
armed forces, and the continued arrests, as well as the searching of Sunni quarters ofthe city, obstructing the daily lives of the families living in them. Since the arrival of
fleeing families from Fallujah and al Rumadi to the capitol, the military, under the
excuse of security reasons, has been conducting raids on these fleeing families.Numerous refugees have been arrested in the Sunni areas of Amriya, Ghazaliya,
Sayedeya, Yarmouk, and Hittin, which house the families that fled the indiscriminateshelling in their homes. In addition, the local city councils in these areas has also
expressed a need to review the families which flee to it, in order to keep a record of
the number of families present in each area and handing them [I dont know if they
mean the records or the families] over to the government forces. On the other hand,
the fleeing families were banned by the Maliki forces from entering the cities of
Samraa except after showing proof of a sponsor-resident from within the city.
With the promotion of government sources and parliamentary belonging to Maliki's
bloc, for that there is the risk of the spread of terrorism and spread in the rest of theprovinces after being accused the people of Anbar as they have become an incubator
for terrorism!!, it is the definitive evidence to planned extermination arguments didnot prove, but in their imaginations criminal diseased (31).
Now I have ever been trapped in the city of Fallujah, about more than a month did not
stop the indiscriminate shelling of government or restless. Over the days get
complicated living situation and deteriorating humanitarian situation, the center of the
steadfastness of the people and their determination to hold fast to the demands forwhich more than a full year (26). As the cut cellular communications in Anbar
province has increased the effects of the blockade against civilians and increase the
suffering in the lack of communication between their children displaced in other areasor with the views that have prevented aid from entering the cities of Fallujah and
Ramadi, except in limited cases. This prompted Motaheidon block MPs to threat tosue the cellular phone companies because of this non- humanitarian work after
pressure Maliki regime, in order to tighten the blockade and prevent the dissemination
of news of crimes and the fact that the humanitarian situation there is frightening (27).On 5 February 2014, the head of the parliamentary Committee on Migration Liqaa
Wardi announced to Al-Tagheir channel that the 15 thousand displaced people from
Anbar to Kurdistan scored only three thousand of them!! (27).

4. Recommendations
1. Urgent international action to stop the military operations in the province ofAnbar, which could be considered an operation of mass punishment that reachthe genocide level, in order to protect civilians and to make it possible for the
knowing the truth, especially the catastrophic humanitarian crisis taking place
right now.
2. The creation of an international investigation committee on behalf of the UNSecurity Council or the UN Human Rights Council. Although all of the
information available indicates an international crime within the jurisdiction of
the International Criminal Court, which requires the action from the
Prosecutor to investigate all available information.
3. A review of the mechanisms used by the UNAMI in Iraq, which have becomea burden on the people, giving these transgressions political legitimacy. And it
became necessary to return the position of the Special Rapporteur for Human
Rights in Iraq.
4. Stopping any military aid to the Maliki regimes government in Iraq until theinvestigations surrounding the crimes that have been committed are done.
5. The urgent entrance of international aid organizations in order to alleviate thepoor living conditions of the refugees, who number more than 200 thousand
from the city of Fallujah and its nearby villages, in addition to 100 thousand
within the city.
6. The need to adopt solutions based on justice and transparency in knowing thefacts and to hold the perpetrators, whatever their positions, and stay away from
political solutions that represent the agendas of some political parties,domestic or international , which not only bring us more of the devastation andsuffering over the past ten years.
7. The need urgent action by the International Red Cross in the verification ofwar crimes in violation of the Geneva Conventions, especially with all the
evidence documented in this report . And the need to bring the perpetrators of
the war against international forums as stipulated in their responsibility, which
gave her the international community.
8. The need for international pressure to force the Iraqi government to sign andratify the Convention on the International Criminal Court to halt the series ofgenocide in Iraq.
