“We need more than moral outrage; we need action,” Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nadia Murad told the UNSC on 13 April 2022.
Murad was among thousands of women from the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq who were sold into sexual slavery and raped by ISIL terrorists in 2014.
Some 2,800 women and children remain missing.
She called for the UNSC to refer the ISIL case to the International Criminal Court or to establish a hybrid court that will prosecute the group’s crimes. She also urged other nations to follow Germany’s example.
