IHCHR suggests establishing the Generations Fund

 Baghdad-INA
 
 
Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights has proposed creating Generations Fund to address the poverty crises in the country.
 
The IHCHR member, Fadel Al-Gharawi stated on Monday to Al-Sabah newspaper that the best solution to address the rates of poverty and unemployment, in addition to cases of beggary and child labor in the country, is the establishment of the Generations Fund, pointing out that this Fund will provide immediate and adequate solutions to these problems, especially after their significantly increased percentages during the past period.
 
Al-Gharawi also said that the state has a legal obligation to secure the rights of future generations, referring that the rise in oil prices and the state's income from money must be allocated directly to each citizen through the establishment of a bank account in the Generations Fund, as is the case in all countries of the world.
 
In a related issue, the head of IHCHR, Aqil al-Moussawi, said to Al-Sabah newspaper that IHCHR held a meeting with Heartland Alliance International organization which is specialized in the field of human rights in the country, to activate the memorandum of understanding concluded between the two sides.
 
the memorandum included monitoring the conditions of prisons and corrections in the country, human trafficking crimes, and community integration programs for those affected, displaced and survivors of ISIS terrorist crimes, especially women and children, as well as activating the role of NGO through establishing a local partnership and specialized field training programs, al-Moussawi added.
