Iraq needs justice, not revenge
Iraq needs to move away from the mindset of revenge to the mindset of restorative justice.
NAJAF, Iraq — At a conference for dialogue between religions and sects in Baghdad on Jan. 31, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that defending Shiites and Sunnis cannot be achieved by saying “O Shiites” or “O Sunnis,” but through cohesion and dialogue between the various components of the people in the face of terrorism.
“No person is entitled to take the law into his own hands,” he said, denouncing reprisals happening in the name of the law.
