According to the Associated Press, the council agreed to let the UN help Iraq investigate and collect evidence in order to hold ISIS accountable for their war crimes and genocide. Following the meeting, Amal, who was accompanied by her client Nadia Murad — a Yazidi survivor of ISIS enslavement — said in a Facebook Live video, "It's a huge milestone for all of those who've been fighting for justice for victims of crimes committed by ISIS," adding, "It says to victims that their voices will be heard and they may finally get their day in court."
