According to ODVV public relations some of the problems the people of Iraq are struggling with were discussed in this sitting such as the extensive violation of women and children's rights by the IS terrorists, committed in the name of Islam, the problem with the sheer number of the victims of the conflict over the last decade in Iraq which started with America's attack has reached to approximately one million people.. The existence of this high number of victims means there are large numbers of widows, widowers and orphans in Iraq.
Stressing that the Iraqi government alone will not be able to tackle the IS problem alone and the existing problems the Iraqi delegation stressed on the necessity for Iraqi NGOs to cooperate with their government, and saying that the Iraqi government cannot fully support Iraqi NGOs they aksed the ODVV to provide help for Iraqi NGOs and the people of rhe country.
While stressing that the aim of IS was to break up Arab countries, and to destroy the demography of these countries and also to take over oil resources, the necessity of cooperation of countries and support of Iran, as a regional power, to fight this terror group was stressed. Also the subject of the dire conditions of Christians and Yezidis in the country whose properties have been looted and confiscated by IS and forced into the mountains was raised. It was also pointed out that within the next couple of months the weather on the mountains would become very cold and further more serious problems would arise if these refugees on the mountains did not receive immediate care and assistance.
