Denmark Supports UNITAD Investigating Sexual and Gender-Based Crimes and Crimes Against Children [EN/AR] Format Baghdad, 11 December 2020 – Denmark has signed an agreement to provide financial support to the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da’esh/ISIL (UNITAD). The support, which amounts to DKK 6 Million (approx. USD 900.000), is allocated to investigations carried out by UNITAD’s Gender–Based Crimes and Children Unit and is co-managed by UNITAD’s Information Systems Unit (ISU). ISU’s work is vital in the collection, storage, and processing of evidentiary material related to gender-based crimes committed by ISIL, and crimes against children. With the help of the Danish contribution, both units will be able to employ technological solutions to investigations across three thematic areas: crimes affecting children; sexual slavery; and crimes against the LGBTQI community. The overall aim is to enhance the collection, storage, and processing of evidentiary materials pertaining to criminal investigations of crimes ISIL committed in Iraq.
