The head of the National State Forces Alliance, Ammar Al-Hakim, called on Wednesday for coordination with Interpol police to pursue the perpetrators of crimes against innocent Iraqis.

Sayyed Al-Hakim said in a statement, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The briefing given by Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da'esh/ISIL (UNITAD), which it presented to the ambassadors of the UN Security Council, and considering what was committed by the terrorist gang Daesh in 2014 during its occupation of parts of Iraqi territory as war crimes, especially as it included a dangerous reference to the use of chemical and biological weapons in its terrorist operations against unarmed civilians and Iraqi security forces, should be a starting point for the internationalization of these crimes due to their gravity and atrocity."
 
He added that "the UN report confirms that Daesh is an identical image of the Saddam regime, which used the same internationally prohibited weapons against Iraqis in massacres that have been painful so far," noting that " the fatwa of Jihad and the great response to it from our Iraqi people, led to the defeat of the Daesh terrorist project that almost burned Iraq and the region and threatened international interests."

According to the statement, Sayyed Al-Hakim called on "the government and the ministries of justice and foreign affairs to communicate with the UN human rights and humanitarian organizations to redress the families of the victims," pointing to "the need to work on coordination with the international "Interpol" police to pursue and arrest all those whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent Iraqis from criminals fleeing outside Iraq.
