"Madam President, many of us have used the term ‘shocking’ to describe the discovery of mass graves in Iraq, but tragically their discovery only confirms our worst fears: ISIS has carried out the most horrendous crimes against humanity, in a campaign that bears all the hallmarks of a genocide, particularly for Yazidis.
In order to at least attempt to achieve justice for the victims and their families, it will be important to secure the sites as much as possible. Although we must be mindful of the limited resources and difficult circumstances that those on the ground militarily face in trying to do this. Such crimes and atrocities, unfortunately, are not unique to either Iraq or to ISIS. As the Syrian Army concludes its campaign to retake Aleppo, harrowing accounts of summary executions against innocent civilians are already beginning to surface. As the battle for Mosul continues, particularly as it reaches its most difficult stages of street-to-street combat, I fear that such atrocities will become only too familiar in the Middle East."@en1
