Under UNSCR 2379, the mandate of the Investigative Team (Iraq) will be to support domestic efforts to hold Da'esh accountable by collecting, preserving, and storing evidence in Iraq of acts that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. The UK is supporting efforts to secure justice for all Da'esh's victims.
