Iraq Urges US to Reevaluate Suspension of Support for International Organizations

The National Security Advisor of Iraq has requested that the United States reassess its decision to suspend support for international organizations. This follows an emergency meeting that addressed critical issues surrounding family integration and UN programs in Iraq, emphasizing international cooperation in rehabilitating families affected by ISIS.

During an emergency meeting in Baghdad, the National Security Advisor urged the United States to reevaluate its recent decision to halt support for international organizations in Iraq. This meeting occurred under the guidance of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, addressing issues related to the UN Secretary-General’s letter concerning the Al-Amal Center, Al-Hawl Camp, and the return of Iraqi families from northeastern Syria.

The meeting, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein, included key figures such as the National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji, various ministers, and representatives from national security entities. The discussions concentrated on how the US funding adjustment impacts UN programs and operations in Iraq, particularly regarding identified gaps noted by the UN Secretary-General’s Representative in the country.

Important resolutions emerged from the meeting, aimed at bolstering the Ministry of Migration and Iraqi organizations involved in family integration. The goal is to facilitate the smooth return of Iraqi families and ensure that these processes remain unaffected by the US funding suspension.

Additionally, the participants stressed the international community’s obligation to support Iraq in addressing the complexities related to the rehabilitation of families associated with ISIS. There was a clear emphasis on the shared responsibility among global partners in resolving these issues, along with a call for the US to reconsider its stance on funding for international organizations in Iraq.

The Iraqi government is actively seeking US reconsideration of its funding suspension for international organizations, as it directly impacts crucial rehabilitation and integration efforts. The recent emergency meeting highlighted the need for ongoing support from the international community to effectively manage the fallout from the ISIS crisis and to assist in the safe return of displaced Iraqi families. These discussions underscore mutual responsibility in addressing these humanitarian challenges.
