JIT Cooperation Leads to Convictions for Crimes against Ezidis

The IIIM welcomes the news that extensive cooperation within a Eurojust-supported Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has led to the first two convictions of ISIL foreign fighters for crimes against Ezidi victims in Syria and Iraq by Dutch and Swedish courts. This marks a significant step forward in the pursuit of justice for survivors of core international crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

The IIIM is proud to actively support the work of the JIT, contributing to the investigation and prosecution of the most serious crimes committed under international law in Syria. We remain committed to pursuing justice opportunities for all victims/survivors, and ensuring accountability is upheld.
