Thousands of women and children in Iraq are being forced into marriage and sexual slavery by members of ISIS. Slavery is such a significant part of ISIS’s agenda that the group
has published a pamphlet on the subject, which includes instructions
such as, “It is permissible to buy, sell, or give as a gift female
captives and slaves, for they are merely property, which can be disposed
of.”
On March 2015, the OHCHR released a report on ISIS’ crimes in Iraq, and one of the recommendations was for the situation to be referred to the International Criminal Court. This is important progress, and we need to keep the pressure on until the Security Council takes action. Call on Members of the UN Security Council to refer this situation to the International Criminal Court.
