Statement by the United Nations in Iraq

In this regard, the United Nations in Iraq underscores the importance of ensuring that legal reforms align with Iraq’s international human rights commitments, particularly in relation to safeguarding the rights and well-being of women and children, in a way that meets the aspirations of the Iraqi people and preserves the country’s historic achievements and gains.

We have engaged extensively with the relevant Iraqi stakeholders and emphasized the need for a constructive and inclusive dialogue on this matter. We will continue our efforts in this direction, reaffirming the United Nations’ steadfast support for Iraq in its aspirations toward a state governed by the rule of law and respect for human rights.
