The United Nations stresses the need to implement the "Sinjar Agreement" 2021.08.03 - 15:43 Baghdad - people The United Nations said, on Tuesday, that the inability of the Iraqi parties and authorities to put aside differences for the common good is frankly unreasonable. During a speech marking the seventh anniversary of the atrocities committed against the Yazidis, on August 3, 2021, UN Representative Jenin Plasschaert stressed that "the time has come to reach consensus on stable governance and security structures, thus accelerating the reconstruction process and facilitating a safe and dignified return." Below is the text of the speech: Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me begin by thanking you for the opportunity to speak to you on this painful occasion. As we all know: the recent history of Sinjar has witnessed unimaginable suffering. The atrocities are still fresh in our collective memory, a shock that the Yazidi victims and their families carry to this day. The crimes committed by ISIS, which include forced marriage, kidnapping, sexual slavery, rape and other forms of extreme violence, amount to genocide. The dire situation is exacerbated by the fact that victims often return to destroyed or unsafe homes or are forced to live in camps or slums with the death or loss of some family members. Years later, survivors still face many challenges.... While they desperately need to rebuild their lives, unnecessary obstacles remain due to disagreement over security arrangements, the provision of public services, and a unified administration. Now, the inability of the parties and the authorities to put differences aside for the greater good, especially in such a painful context, is frankly unreasonable. An agreement was reached 10 months ago on administration, services and security arrangements in Sinjar district. Together, the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have taken an important step in the right direction to lay the foundations for stability, improved safety and better living conditions. Of course, the adoption of the Yazidi Survivors Law in March 2021 was a major development that helps address issues faced by survivors. The law provides for compensation, care and rehabilitation for survivors in society. But for the time being, more must be done. Progress has been unacceptably slow in improving governance and standardizing administration, and the harsh truth is that these obstacles are holding progress hostage as the long-suffering people of Sinjar pay the price. In the spirit of continued solidarity with the people of Sinjar, the United Nations is actively involved in the implementation of the Agreement. I would like to underscore our readiness and commitment to assist all parties concerned to move towards a sustainable and normal situation on the ground. Frankly, it is time to reach a consensus on stable governance and security structures, thus accelerating the reconstruction process and facilitating a safe and dignified return. Ladies and Gentlemen, On this occasion, and in memory of the victims, I assure you from the bottom of my heart our support and solidarity with those who continue to bear the wounds of brutality. Now, as I said, the ongoing suffering must be alleviated without delay, so I again appeal to all parties involved to act with the interests of the people first and urgently, and to enable a single, unified administration in Sinjar. No one has forgotten what happened seven years ago and the world is definitely watching now. thank you all". -
