UN Security Council Condemns Last Week Terrorist Attack in Baghdad 
ERBIL — The members of the UN Security Council have strongly condemned the “cowardly and heinous terrorist attack” in Baghdad earlier on February 16th, as the result of which 50 people lost their lives and many more were injured.

“The members of the Security Council expressed their deep sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims, and to the people and the Government of Iraq. They wished a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured,” reads a press statement by the Security Council.

“The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security. The members of the Security Council underlined the need to bring perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice. They stressed that those responsible for these killings should be held accountable, and urged all States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with the Government of Iraq and all other relevant authorities in this regard.”
The members of the Security Council reiterated that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed. They reaffirmed the need for all States to combat by all means, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and other obligations under international law, including international human rights law, international refugee law and international humanitarian law, threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts, the statement added.

It also welcomed the efforts by the Iraqi government and its partners to counter Islamic State (IS) and to return stability to the country.
