More than 150 religious actors and leaders today welcomed the decisive step taken by representatives of the Christian, Kakai, Shiite, Sunni and Yazidi communities in Iraq, with the adoption, in March, of the Interfaith Declaration on Victims and the survivors of Daesh. Religious actors and leaders spoke at a virtual conference hosted by the Office of the Special Adviser on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect, the United Nations Investigative Team to assist in bringing Daesh / State Islamic in Iraq and the Levant to answer for its crimes (UNITAD) and the organization "Religions for Peace".

Religious communities around the world have welcomed the Historic Declaration in which the leaders of the major Iraqi faiths collectively denounced the acts of Daesh and expressed their full support for the victims, survivors and families, while reiterating their commitment to provide all the support possible to hold the perpetrators accountable.

The webinar also discussed the role of religious leaders and leaders from Iraq and other countries in strengthening national and international efforts to establish responsibility for and contribute to crimes committed by Daesh and other groups in Iraq. preventing atrocities and building peaceful, inclusive and just societies.

The event brought together the signatories of the Interfaith Declaration as well as a wide range of religious leaders from several member states, to reflect on the optimal implementation of the principles enshrined in the said Declaration and on the moral impact of religious actors in the fight against violent extremism and atrocities.

Participants stressed their unanimous rejection of Daesh violence and the importance of all religious communities in Iraq and around the world, to strengthen dialogue and cooperation and promote understanding, address the consequences of Daesh crimes and prevent them. atrocities. All participants stressed the need to hold Daesh accountable for its actions, in accordance with the rule of law, and to lay the foundations for reconciliation and peace.

UNITAD Head Karim AA Khan said the Interfaith Declaration is "a strong example" of how the unity of religious leaders can be used to expose Daesh's actions as contrary to the fundamental principles of humanity and devoid of any foundation in faith. “The unanimous rejection of Daesh's ideology should serve as an example, worldwide, of how religious leaders can play a fundamental role in preventing the spread of violent extremism. "

Iraqi society has paid dearly for claims that have never been met. It must therefore work to build and consolidate an inclusive society in which diversity is not seen as a defect but as an asset. I am convinced, said the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Mr. Adama Dieng, that the Interfaith Declaration is an essential step in this direction.

Religious leaders, added the Secretary General of "Religions for Peace", Ms. Azza Karam, have an unequaled moral position. Their Declaration and their intentions can and will change the trajectory of humanity towards healing wounds and peaceful coexistence in our world.

The webinar is the first step in the process of implementing the Interfaith Declaration on Daesh Victims and Survivors. It will be followed by a demonstration in Baghdad later this year.
