Iraq: Providing Support to Victims of Terrorism
Following the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq in July 2017, the national justice system is now encountering the cases and claims of thousands of direct and indirect victims who have experienced violence, crime and atrocities of different nature at the hands of ISIL. During the criminal justice process, it is important that victims can tell their story in their own way and that they are prepared and supported psychologically for their appearance in the court without any risk of revictimization.
