KCIL and Platform for Peace and Humanity Signed a Memorandum of Cooperation

Kurdistan Center for International Law (KCIL) signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Platform for Peace and Humanity, both parties aim to advocate for the creation of an independent, impartial, and competent Special Criminal Court in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) to prosecute the fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) for responsibility of core international crimes.
ISIS fighters currently are being prosecuted according to Counter-Terrorism Act in Iraq and KRI, but they allegedly committed the crime of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, this needs to establish a Special Criminal Court which should have jurisdiction over these crimes in the territory of Iraq and KRI.
