The United Nations has released a report detailing possible war crimes and an accelerating death toll in Iraq. Since January more than 9,000 civilians have been killed, more than half of them since the ISIS offensive began in June. In total, at least 26,000 Iraqis have been killed or wounded this year. Rupert Colville, spokesperson for the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, unveiled the report’s findings.

Rupert Colville: “This is really a devastating report. It covers just nine weeks and such a huge array of appalling human rights abuses, mostly by ISIL. These include rapes. They include murder; summary executions, sometimes of very large numbers of people; abductions; recruitment of children, making children into fighters; destruction of mosques, of churches, other religious buildings—so, a really devastating litany of horrendous abuses affecting many, many thousands of people.”

While the U.N. report focused on ISIS militants, it also found Iraqi government airstrikes had caused “significant civilian deaths,” striking villages, hospitals and a school in violation of international law.
