"From this rostrum, I call on all countries of the world to take a responsible stand in line with international conventions and instruments and humanitarian principles and values to take concerted action and offer the required support.

Iraq urged the international community Monday to take concerted action to deliver the country from the terrorism carried out by the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, ISIL.
Speaking at a special session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Iraq's Human Rights minister, Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani chronicled a long list of horrific atrocities carried out the militants in various parts of Iraq, saying they exceeded all other violent acts committed by all other terrorist organizations.
He described them as "evil people" who have compounded their crimes by filming them and putting them on social media. He pointed out "they are doing their acts before the cameras.”
Among the examples cited was Mosul, which the minister described as a city with a long history of religious, ethnic and confessional diversity and co-existence.
He said it was the home to Muslims, Christians, Yazidis, Shabah Arabs, Kurds and Turksih before it was struck by what he described as "tsunami of hate, vengeance, violence, extremism, killing, genocide" and other actions constituting crimes against humanity.
Al Sudani said ISIL defies all human rights principles and international laws.
He stressed “it is not an Iraqi phenomena, but a transnational organization that is an imminent danger to all counties of the world.
He said the organization and its acts must be criminalized. Their members who have perpetrated their crimes must be held accountable regardless of their nationality, he stressed.
Minister Al Sudani called for the freezing and confiscation of ISIL assets and the destruction of their military capacity.
