[In Baghdad]

The Secretary-General's Special Representative to the United Nations in Iraq Jan Kubiš ISIS "terrorist gangs tearing apart" in Iraq "revealing" registration of UN Mission for more than 58 thousand victims in Iraq since the fall of the city of Mosul in June 2014 until last September 2016.

He said in his briefing in Kubiš Iraq before the UN Security Council at United Nations Headquarters in New York, Wednesday, let me begin by congratulating the Iraqi security forces and cops and Posse volunteer fighters and members of clans and local fighters allied with and supported by the international community, the steady progress achieved in their fight to liberate Mosul. "

And added as a tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their precious for a free Iraq.
The process under way to release the connector beginning to end is called succession of ISIS in Iraq. Evoking increasing support by the civilian population for this process, as well as previous edits better reflect the fact that edit Iraq is the battle of all Iraqis in unity for the future of their country as the House collects all Iraqi people and of all components, groups and ethnic and religious minorities to live together at Joe's anarchy values of Justice, equality, peace and tolerance. We are witnessing the birth of a new Iraq security forces are welcomed by civilians who perceive it as an editor.

We must not forget that the people of Iraq fighting as well as on our behalf, to defend human values held by all the world against terrorism and intolerance that represented by ISIS and intellectual foundations. As we stand here today in solidarity with women and girls who have been victims of kidnappings, attacks and violations and in solidarity with their families and communities.

The categories of women and children come in front of victims of crimes committed by the Organization of ISIS, and insist on full accountability for violations of human rights and atrocities committed by the Organization against civilians, in particular against women and children, and demand fairness all the victims of those heinous crimes which may amount to crimes against humanity or war crimes or genocide.

He said Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi recently praising the victories achieved in the process to restore connector "this is the new Iraq," he also said, "I've turned all the ingredients to fight with us: Kurds with Arabs and Shiites with the year and all minorities of Christians and Turkmen walaizidiin, they all fight together." It's the first time in the history of Iraq that pits the federal Iraqi forces along with two forces.

The Prime Minister also confirmed that the popular crowd forces working under him, as Commander in Chief, under the command of General command of the armed forces. In this regard, "said volunteers from the sons of Iraq, Basra, Karbala and Salahuddin, Anbar, Diyala, and they are fighting here is not greedy of them on land and not on any interests but to defend the people of Mosul, when editing the Iraqi territory would return to their homes, as they did in Anbar and elsewhere. They are Iraqi citizens and they sacrifice themselves.

Based on lessons learned from past experiences, and with regard to the connector, the Iraqi Government and security forces command and command the crowd, give priority to the protection of civilians, in an unprecedented manner in the planning and execution of military operations, in full awareness of domestic and international obligations and commitments and political consequences and threats to its reputation. And Shiite religious reference also issued a strong statement on the matter.

He entered the military operation to release the connector of the twenty-fifth day, is going well, and have been planning for this progress and control alihbeshkl avoiding excessive risk particularly on the civilian population. Fighting has already moved to the city of Mosul, although it is expected to take the fight into the city some time which may extend into the harsh winter.

As expected, increased regulation of ISIS who lives to terrorist activities of despair against civilians often, as do several complex attacks and is planning to implement more. On 21 October he attacked key government installations ISIS organized in Kirkuk. Those attacks killed 100 civilians and security forces personnel and 230 others wounded two civilians and police forces responded to those attacks. 100 fighters were killed while another was captured and ISIS are alive.

But the expectations of organization of ISIS in getting great support from inside Kirkuk, particularly of displaced community in the city. Following certain developments are troubling, the Governor of Kirkuk recently that he would not take retaliatory actions or evictions on displaced persons. However, this confirmed the attack on Kirkuk's need to start mnasbbetharir time hawijah area and controlled by the Organization of ISIS.

There was unprecedented cooperation in planning and implementing connector editing process between the Government of Baghdad and Erbil. I let the Kurdistan Regional Government for Iraqi security forces to mount operations across Iraq Kurdistan for the first time since 1995. Joint Coordination Center began for the Alliance, the joint military coordination between Iraqi security forces and two civilians and coalition forces based in Erbil, work began earlier this year.

As confirmed during the visit of the President of Kurdistan, Massoud Barzani, and his first since 2013 and the visit of the Prime Minister Haider Abadi to Arbil over the last few days, it has been expanding such cooperation and dialogue also includes a large collection of political, economic and administrative issues and arrangements to be on which to build future relations between Baghdad and Erbil. On 27 October, State Chief Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government Iraq, nechervan Idris Barzani, speaking at the Middle East Research Institute in Arbil: "we need to find a new formula for coexistence in Iraq and hope that a critical dialogue with Baghdad." I've worked with Baghdad for more than 11 years to implement the Constitution and we can't keep it for 11 years without a solution. "

That succession of ISIS is falling apart in front of our noses. But just to restore the area and power is not enough, it is necessary to win the hearts and minds of all Iraqis from all over the country in order to facilitate the return of displaced persons to their towns and villages that must be cleaned of explosive remnants and rehabilitated and demobilization of different volunteer groups that helped defeat the ISIS and give shown today to hope for youth growing population binhmwalkiam political and economic reforms and social and supported law and order and curb the activities of criminal groups, corruption and nepotism. ISIS thought still exists in some minds in Iraq and in the region and beyond with a specific concern about the hundreds of thousands of boys and girls in alarakwalzein money laundering organization ISIS their brains over more than two years.

And the leaders of all the ingredients and mzalmketherh treatment groups and societies inherited from previous phases and to reach a particular way of life together in post-ISIS in an atmosphere of Justice and equality for all. That reconciliation at the community and national levels is the way to achieve permanent military victories at ISIS in order to maintain a secure and unified Iraq. This understanding is widespread in Iraq.

It is heartening that the Iraqi National Alliance President Ammar al-Hakim had recently confirmed that the National Alliance as the largest parliamentary bloc, is preparing to make an important document for the national settlement represents an important political project carried out in conjunction with the release the connector in order to unite all Iraqis. Hakim said that this project will be carried out in conjunction with the military victory, and called for a peaceful coexistence, free from violence and dependency and crises where feel all Iraqis that they are obliged to achieve unity of their lands and their communities and sanctity. And also that the Division of Iraq should refuse under any circumstances and stressed the importance of the constitutional obligations.

The rate of return in the areas that have been edited previously had increased in some provinces but it wasn't that way in some places on the whole despite the efforts of the Government and the international community that is still somewhat slow pace. Rebuilding infrastructure and restoring basic services and the rule of law, schools and alamelhi opportunities very important things in order to restore confidence in the Government. The return of displaced persons is a key to strong social fabric reconstruction in Iraq and is part of reconciliation and therapy.

By the time you get the campaign on the connector to densely populated areas such as the city centre, it would inevitably become a long and difficult where ISIS dug a network of tunnels and planting IEDs and built fortifications and more importantly uses terrorist tactics against civilians. As part of the resistance, ISIS started burning oil fields in forces and burning sulfur and destroyed roads and bridges and any traces of heritage of Iraq before elimination.

Reliable reports indicate that ISIS forcing tens of thousands of women, children and men to leave their homes in the counties surrounding Mosul and forced civilians into the city moves and use them effectively as human shields. And ISIS fighters killed civilians who refuse to obey the instructions of regulation or who were in the former Iraqi security forces including 232 civilians were killed, according to reports on 26 October by shooting them. He said these people were moved to places of ISIS strategy including Tal Afar, after being forced to it at gunpoint or face death in cases of resistance or escape attempt.

Against this terrorist practices and policies implemented by the Organization of ISIS, positive confirmation of Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abbadi on 20 October in Paris for restoring stability to Mosul, he issued orders to the Iraqi security forces and the popular crowd forces to protect civilians and nominal duty.

On 16 October, a spokesman for the popular crowd forces Lisa to the popular crowd body committed to military plans drawn up by Prime Minister Haider Abadi added that popular mobilization forces would abide by his orders, saying that they would not go beyond human rights. On 16 October, Iraq Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani that the two forces will engage in edit connector without racial or religious discrimination by class unity, Word and action must be taken against any fighter in the cops or military commander committed excesses.

In Friday prayers on 12 October, the representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani on the protection of civilians especially women and children and that the treatment of ISIS fighters who have been arrested according to law: "assure our fighters as stated before, the importance of vigilance in the fight to maintain the safety of civilians in conflict zones. We stress to all parties involved in the fight that all Islamic and human values and the treatment of prisoners in a legal way, without any feeling of revenge. "

To protect the civilians and prevent retaliatory attacks and deal with matters relating to the accountability of ISIS fighters who have been arrested or suspected of sympathizing with them in a fair way with due adherence to international human rights standards duly are of fundamental importance for achieving what's right post in ISIS. I urge the Iraqi authorities to continue this spirit edits while ensuring full respect for the basic principles relating to distinguish civilians from non-civilian, proportionality and precaution and victims.

There is so far only a few isolated reports of violations committed by forces loyal to the Government and the majority of individual revenge ISIS fighters who are their families or people accused of supporting the ISIS. Mission referred these cases to the Iraqi Government to investigate and take action and reiterated that the Government must continue its efforts to prevent such incidents and investigate and punish those who commit such acts if they occur. As it was reported there were a number of air strikes and artillery against civilian infrastructure and places including a clinic whether intentional or by accident.

However, I am concerned about the spectre of violence motivated by revenge and especially by clans, which suffered atrocities committed by supporters of ISIS as well as against members of their clans who joined bedaash. And a few of the elders on television late October they claim revenge of ISIS and Ed. However, in a positive step, a number of elders mission have reached agreement to deliver ISIS fighters who have been arrested or suspected support for regulation to the Iraqi Government to face judicial proceedings.

I am also concerned about retaliatory attacks by members of religious and ethnic communities who suffered horrendous atrocities committed by the organization. And invited the Iraqi Government to take immediate action to restore the rule of law in official justice mechanisms to the liberated areas as quickly as possible and apply policies to prevent ntkamih attacks by victims and protect the innocent and the perpetrators.

Since last December, the Turkish military presence remained in the camp mistress, which Iraq considers a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, without resolving, on 17 October Foreign Minister Ibrahim Jaafari again again writing to the Secretary General of the United Nations and reiterated Iraq's opinion that the presence of Turkish troops in the country has been without the consent of the Iraqi troops should withdraw.

Despite efforts by countries to contain the situation through diplomatic channels and bilateral mechanisms, but it never gets any public offering tangible yet even took statements exchanged between Baghdad and Ankara to escalate this matter has become more worrying at present launching the Mosul liberalization continued non-stop with all the risks and complications that accompanies it.

I urge the Governments of Turkey and Iraq on softening and accelerate bilateral efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution to this problem and related issues in such a way as to ensure full respect for the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-interference in the internal affairs of Iraq and to ensure that all activities in Iraq be in coordination with the Government of Iraq and full consent at the time you take the security concerns of both countries into consideration.

Although different in the two countries on the question of the existence and activities of troops unless both parties have a mutual positive step when it adopted on 28 October a resolution lifting mutual visa requirements for diplomatic passports and service passports and passports.

The Mosul and Nineveh are a microcosm of Iraq rich in its multiplicity and diversity. One cannot but stress the importance of governance arrangements in post ISIS to preserve this rich mosaic of cultures, races and religions. As to the claims and aspirations of the different components to be met by the most representative and inclusive with the necessary guarantees on the local and central levels.

In this context, it is disturbing that on 22 October the House passed the law on municipal imports article 14 to prohibit the manufacture, import and sale of alcoholic beverages. And many lawmakers, especially those representing minorities that this resolution represents an assault on constitutional rights to equality.

In a statement, the President emphasized the need to abide by all the infallible principles contained in the Constitution regarding personal freedoms and rights to various religious and sectarian components calling the House to corrective revision of the law on constitutional and democratic basis, taking into account the interests of the people in these circumstances to ensure that the principles of fundamental freedoms and rights. These fears are exacerbated by the fact that this decision comes in the wake of national card Act which is a non-Muslim person family who embraces Islam Muslim family.

Despite assurances and the campaign that lasted for a year is still a valid law causing much discomfort for those who believe Iraq was able to ensure that the constitutional rights guaranteed to all citizens equally. As national minorities opposed the card Act for inclusion under the heading "others" in the application form national identity cards while others, particularly Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen to mention explicitly in the affiliation form.

On 10 October the Federal Supreme Court ruled that the Cabinet's decision to cancel three Vice President positions unconstitutional for procedural reasons. on 30 October three Vice Presidents met with Nouri al-Maliki of Allawi and the State of law coalition of national coalition and Osama alngiv Alliance United to reform the infallible President welcomed them and congratulated them to return to their posts.

Continue the selection process of the Board of Commissioners of the Iraqi Higher Commission for human rights and hoped to finish by the end of November so that the new Board of Commissioners fully operational by mid-December.

UNAMI has provided technical support and advice and advocacy to build a number of basic laws and projects currently on the agenda of the House of representatives. In July it was introducing a bill against discrimination to the House and was referred to a number of parliamentary committees for further review and study.

Moreover, the House of representatives Bill on freedom of Assembly and freedom of information to the Commission on human rights and the legal Committee for review, there are some concerns that this draft does not conform to the obligations of Iraq.

UNAMI also works with a range of parties almanihlsiaghah Bill that would prevent sexual violence and gender-based violence and protect the survivors who were exposed to this kind of violence and ensure that the perpetrators of such violence.

The family protection bill remains stalled by the House for more than four years as many of its provisions were not consistent with international standards. It is hoped that the new project to address these shortcomings.

The leaders discussed the active political forces postponement of provincial elections subject to 2017 scheduled for April/May 2017 to a later date, it seems that this deferral would be acceptable at the end. At the same time sent independent High Electoral Commission recently wrote to the House of representatives requesting funding for provincial elections to 2017. Consequently, any decision regarding elections, including reviewing the existing legal and institutional frameworks and the elections should be in time.

Receive the latest joint statement to prevent and address conflict-related sexual violence [CRSV] and located between the Republic of Iraq and the United Nations was widely welcomed by both the Federal Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government and civil society organizations and members of minority groups. Where the parties expressed readiness to begin implementing the agreement quickly.

Has turned up a new set of challenges, including a way to address the situation of children born of rapes and stigmatize survivors of sexual violence associated with the conflict of single mothers with children born of rapes puppies proceeds by the "enemy". Should also address the issue of women who were married under the control of ISIS, since many of them without a marriage because of the breakdown of the rule of law and enforce the laws of ISIS, where marriages were conducted outside the courts. These challenges will require legislative action and consultation with religious leaders, politicians, community leaders and tribal chiefs to find workable solutions.

Has the human rights situation in Iraq constitutes a serious concern with continued civilian suffering the direct effects of the armed conflict and terrorism deaths, injuries and destruction of property.

It is sad to note that since the start of this stage of the conflict in Iraq at the beginning of September until the end of 2014 and 2016, at least 58495 became victims of violence-killing about 20442 of men, women and children, wounded 38053. This year alone, since the beginning of January till September 30, killing at least a civilian and wounding 4446 9387.

Until 9 November estimated displaced 42000 people as a result of the process. Inhabitants of Mosul are increasingly short of food, water, medicine and electricity. Fighting in the city of Mosul continues to pay the exodus towards the East through the kokegli area. It also fosters people also heading south from walnmrod to walshorh Alil areas area forces. Families are the mouse to put the dangerous result of direct and indirect fire and IEDs and other explosive remnants.

According to the military concept of humanitarian operations, authorities are providing transportation for families to take them to four major locations reserved for emergencies. Currently, support is being given to more than 20000 people in camps. And found the rest of them who make up about 30 per cent of shelter in host communities and public buildings. There are a total of seven sites dedicated to emergency situations is ready to receive 40000 people. There are at least 450000 venue under construction. Humanitarian agencies provided the first direct line support to 65000 people including families that stayed in the restored areas and didn't run.

And humanitarian partners continue to prepare for a collective response. In a worst case scenario can be influenced towards 1.2-1.5 million people from the military operation, including the million people who might try to flee the city to safe places. As preparations are underway for the winter.

In July, the humanitarian country team issued an urgent appeal requesting 280 million us dollars to prepare for situations in Mosul. It has been receiving nearly 80 per cent of the required amount, although most recently received funding, leading to delay preparations until the close of the operation starts.

And never received Iraq's humanitarian response plan for 2016, aimed at 7.3 million Iraqis at risk, only 60 per cent of total 860 million dollars needed for this year. As a result half of emergency programmes were closed or not be initiated; Moreover, will close scores in the coming weeks if funding is received.

Financing facility is to achieve immediate stabilization of the United Nations development programme, one of the leading and most successful programmes of the United Nations in Iraq. In Tikrit, where stabilization activities began more than a year ago, estimated the proportion of the population who have returned nearly 95%.

In Ramadi, where several programmes are being implemented to restore stability, the number of people who have returned to their homes in grey more than 300000 people and approximately 60000 shkhsaakhrin in Fallujah.

To restore stability to Mosul after editing would be a daunting task. Another editor, cities trials suggest, specifically gray, the probability of widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure, public buildings and private homes leaving crags hinder safe movement for months.

It is likely that there will be widespread pollution IEDs. In order to help restore the city's services, facility finance for immediate stabilization prior to storage of water and energy equipment and municipal services and health worth over 40 million dollars. The facility also works on the selection and limited partner in advance for small business grants, public works and work on collecting the clan elders, government officials and security chiefs to discuss the necessary steps to prevent violence and accelerate community reconciliation.

At the request of the Government, UNDP is working to develop a program to restore stability in most areas of Nineveh which was before the advent of minority organization of ISIS. The aim of the programme is to restore services quickly in these areas, which are mostly rural, help jump in local economies to enable families to return as quickly as possible.

The facility operates in coordination with the United Nations Department for mine to conduct impact assessments of threats in major districts and accelerate the lifting of IEDs in the liberated areas. For its part, the service leadership and coordination of the activities of the mine action sector in the liberated areas in Iraq through close cooperation with Iraqi authorities.

The service provides emergency response and work on building the capacity of government institutions with respect to mine clearance and to ensure the full integration of the appropriate plan for mine action in general planning for United Nations humanitarian efforts for the displaced.

In Ramadi and karma is currently addressing the proliferation of explosives were removed more than 1,800 explosive since April to enable efforts to restore stability in 188 priority sites. In Mosul, the Chamber works to coordinate multifaceted response to protect civilians fleeing the fighting.

Also, the United Nations Department for mine totally dependent upon bilateral contributions to the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for assistance in mine action. There is an urgent need for additional resources to fund and sustain essential services for mine. Relevant departments require mine 112 million us dollars in 2017, depending on the rate of the liberated areas. This amount is almost anything from him is not available at the moment.

Additionally, on October 25, in close cooperation with the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, counter-terrorism Committee Executive Directorate joint meeting of the United Nations in Baghdad to assess the progress made in the facilitation of technical assistance to the Iraqi Government in six-ten room priority areas identified by the counter terrorism Committee of the UN Security Council.

Let me stop by the twelfth report of the Secretary General on missing Kuwaitis and nationals of other countries and properties including the national archives.

I commend the Iraqi Government and specifically the Iraqi Defense Ministry to strengthen efforts to find the missing persons and give them lots of effort and momentum in this file. The action by the Iraqi counterparts, including outreach efforts with witnesses in order to obtain more detailed information in favour of alleged burial sites and numerous field visits and communicate internally with many chambers and authorities in search of new achievements, Iraq's determination and commitment to move forward with this file.

And I drew the defense and foreign ministries on 18 September appealed for witnesses broadcast via terrestrial and space tv since the invitation was sent to everyone who has information on the missing Kuwaitis and Kuwaiti property to provide their information, citizens responded to hundreds of calls alleging they have information regarding the whereabouts of the missing Kuwaitis and Kuwaiti property.

And this information is being verified. This is just an example shows how perseverance and efforts to achieve results despite the passage of time.

With reference to the statement issued by the Security Council on 29 July, I would like to urge the Government again to continue their efforts and innovative approach was multidimensional in search for missing persons and to rely on the wisdom and advice of members of the Trilateral Commission and the innovative and creative ways to find information specifically with respect to the national archives, which is invaluable in order to make concrete progress.

I would like to express my great thanks to the Government of the State of Kuwait for the continuing support and understanding of the challenges faced by the Iraqi Government over the years. And at a time when the Iraq strive to reach results, we will all help him in his efforts to achieve peace and stability.
