International authority should first and foremost ensure justice and ensure victims have access to remedies. But were far from that situation. Theyre not able to do that. And sometimes theyre not willing to do this. I raise this with Prime Minister abadi and with president barzani and the Kurdish Regional government. Some of the perpetrators are also in syria.
