<p>We raise the protection needs of the victims of Daesh atrocities with the Government
of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government regularly. We have made clear, through
our Embassy in Baghdad and our Consulate General in Erbil, the importance of protecting
civilians and of Iraq's meeting its human rights responsibilities, which includes
ensuring the rule of law. We welcome the commitments of Iraqi Prime Minister Abadi
to investigate all allegations of human rights abuses and violations, including those
committed against minorities, and to hold those responsible to account.</p><p>In March,
the Minister for the Commonwealth and UN, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, visited Iraq including
the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The Minister launched the UK's Fourth National Action
Plan on Women, Peace and Security and encouraged efforts to hold Daesh to account
for its crimes, build support for survivors of sexual violence and, end the stigma
attached to victims of those crimes.</p>
