Government. We recently discussed the issue with the Iraqi General Secretary of the
Council of Ministers, who has created a team that is working with UN Development Programme
on this issue. On 2 August the UK's Ambassador to Iraq attended a commemoration of
the fourth anniversary of Daesh atrocities against Yezidis in Sinjar, where he reiterated
