Report on Establishing a Specialized Court in Iraq for Da'esh Crimes

The Lemkin Institute, in response to a request from the office of the presidency of Iraq, offers analysis and opinion regarding the establishment of a specialized court to try Da'esh crimes.

Report on Establishing a Specialized Court in Iraq for Da'esh Crimes

The 32-page report analyzes constitutional constraints on the creation of a specialized court in Iraq and examines the purpose of transitional justice, the importance of due process, the right to defense, the role of victims in the process, gender perspectives on law and judicial process, civil society participation, and the establishment of a victim care unit and a fund for reparations.

The Lemkin Institute makes three main suggestions: constitutional reform, legal reform, and the inauguration of a long-term transitional justice project.
