GENEVA, -- Iraqi Human Rights Minister
of Kurdistan region Youssef Mohammad Aziz told the
Human Rights Council on Tuesday that terrorism,
which was a new phenomenon and had led to many
miseries in the world, was a scourge in Iraq, where
the Iraqi people had become real victims.
During the interactive debate on the report of the
Special Rapportuer on the promotion and protection
of human rights and fundamental freedoms while
countering terrorism, Martin Scheinin, Aziz added
that remedies should be found for this terrorism.
"The terrorists were coming up with new forms of
terrorism, including suicide bombs, and the
international community needed to stop this.
Terrorism was not at the same degree all over Iraq -
there were some disparities," he added.
He said that in Kurdistan, the situation was very
different, and security was tight as a result of the
sovereignty and rule of law, and as human rights
were implemented there.
"Kurdistani institutions were constantly being
improved in order to ensure peace and security. In
light of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights,
a law on counter-terrorism had been implemented," he
said.
Aziz also added that a law dealing with all aspects
of terrorism had been implemented.
"There was optimism in some parts of Iraq, and the
example of Kurdistan should be taken, while taking
into account the dangers existing in all parts of
Iraq," stressed Aziz
