UN says Iraq must strengthen institutions, justice and reintegration to prevent Daesh resurgence
Summary
The Agency official said counterterrorism pressure has constrained Daesh in Iraq, but consolidating gains requires strong, accountable institutions, effective justice administration, and rehabilitation and reintegration efforts.
The Agency official told the Security Council that continued counterterrorism pressure in Iraq has significantly constrained Daesh's capabilities, but warned that the challenge now is to consolidate gains through durable institutions and programs.
“The challenge now is to consolidate these hard won gains through strong and accountable institutions, effective administration of justice, rehabilitation, reintegration efforts, and measures that address the conditions that could enable the group's resurgence,” the official said. The speaker framed institution‑building and justice as essential complements to military pressure.
The briefing urged member states and partners to support justice systems, community rehabilitation and reintegration programs, and governance measures that reduce the root causes of violent extremism. The official did not provide implementation timelines or specific funding figures in the statement.
