<p>The Yazidi community has suffered immense pain and loss as a result of the abhorrent
crimes inflicted by Daesh. The UK advocated strongly for the passing of the Yazidi
Survivors' Law in March 2021 and the establishment of the Directorate of Yazidi Affairs.
The Directorate is responsible for searching for survivors and supporting judicial
and investigative bodies on holding perpetrators to account. In parallel, we have
also provided £2 million to the UN Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for
Crimes Committed by Daesh (UNITAD). The UK joined likeminded partners in committing
to support Yazidis displaced or abducted by Daesh in a Joint alliance statement issued
in October 2021. We will continue to press the newly formed government on the importance
of these issues, including searching for those missing Yazidi women and children abducted
by Daesh.</p>
