Headline UNITAD Provides Technical Support in Excavation of Mass Grave Sites

Caption Description The Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da'esh/ISIL (UNITAD) provides specialist technical support for the excavation of three sites of mass graves of victims of Da'esh/ISIL in the district of Heet in Anbar Province in Iraq. The joint work led by Iraq’s Mass Graves Directorate (MGD) and Medico-Legal Directorate (MLD) is conducted in line with MGD's national strategy for excavation of mass graves, and the national law on protection of mass graves.

UNITAD was established in February 2018. Between 2014 and 2017, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) (Da’esh) captured, controlled and operated with impunity over large parts of territory in Iraq, committing crimes against civilians and communities in these areas. The subsequent liberation of this territory exposed the magnitude of these crimes, including torture, amputations, enslavement, rape, and mass killings, all of which were authorized, promoted, and celebrated by the group. In August 2017, the Government of Iraq called on the international community to provide assistance in ensuring that members of ISIL (Da’esh) were held accountable for their crimes in Iraq. In response, the Investigative Team, UNITAD, was established, mandated to support domestic efforts to hold ISIL (Da’esh) accountable by collecting, preserving and storing evidence of its crimes in Iraq that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. The Investigative Team concluded its mandate on 17 September 2024.
