The Kurdistan Center for International Law (KCIL) has published a comprehensive policy brief dedicated to advancing accountability for ISIS crimes. This brief outlines KCIL’s strategic approach to bridging the gap between international legal obligations and domestic implementation in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It presents a future-oriented plan that includes advocating for the enactment of core international crimes legislation, establishing specialized chambers within KRI courts, building a judicial exchange, and strengthening the capacity of legal professionals.

The policy brief also emphasizes the importance of integrating gender-based violence within justice processes and preserving UNITAD’s legacy through national mechanisms. Through this initiative, KCIL reaffirms its commitment to justice, legal reform, and the rights of victims of atrocity crimes in Iraq.
