BAGHDAD, Iraq – Almost 19,000 civilians have been documented killed in Iraq and more than 36,000 wounded between January 2014 and October last year, the United Nations said Tuesday, in a report released in Geneva and Baghdad.The report, about the severe and extensive impact on civilians in the ongoing conflict in Iraq, said that another 3.2 million people have become internally displaced since January 2014, including more than a million children of school age.It cautioned that actual casual figures could be much higher than the ones documented: at least 18,802 civilians killed and 36,245 wounded.The report, compiled by the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), is based largely on testimony obtained directly from the victims, survivors or witnesses of rights violations, as well as displaced persons.“The violence suffered by civilians in Iraq remains staggering. The so-called ‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’ (ISIL) continues to commit systematic and widespread violence and abuses of international human rights law and humanitarian law. These acts may, in some instances, amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possibly genocide,” the report said, referring to the group also known as ISIS or Daesh.The report details numerous examples of killings by ISS in gruesome public spectacles, including by shooting, beheading, bulldozing, burning alive and throwing off the top of buildings.There are also reports of the murder of child soldiers who fled fighting on the frontlines in Anbar. The report said that Information received and verified suggests that between 800 and 900 children in Mosul had been abducted by ISIS for religious education and military training.“ISIL continued to subject women and children to sexual violence, particularly in the form of sexual slavery,” according to the report.The report also documented alleged violations and abuses of international human rights and international humanitarian law by the Iraqi Security Forces and associated forces, including militia and tribal forces, the Shiite Popular Mobilization Units that are allied with the Iraqi military, and the Kurdish Peshmerga.It also reported instances of unlawful killings and abductions perpetrated by some elements associated with pro-government forces. “Some of these incidents may have been reprisals against persons perceived to support or be associated with ISIL,” the report said.“Moreover, as civilians move around the country, fleeing violence, they have continued to face Government restrictions on their ability to access safe areas. Once they reach such areas, some have experienced arbitrary arrest in raids by security forces and others have been forcibly expelled. The conduct of pro-Government forces’ operations raises concern that they are carried out without taking all feasible precautions to protect the civilian population and civilian objects,” according to the report.The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq, Jan Kubis, said "despite their steady losses to pro government forces, the scourge of ISIL continues to kill, maim and displace Iraqi civilians in the thousands and to cause untold suffering. I strongly reiterate my call to all parties to the conflict to ensure the protection of civilians from the effects of violence.”UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said, “this report lays bare the enduring suffering of civilians in Iraq and starkly illustrates what Iraqi refugees are attempting to escape when they flee to Europe and other regions. This is the horror they face in their homelands.”
