These solutions require a sustained and dedicated response over the medium-long term from the US and its coalition partners, including, in part:

• Providing physical security to all people living in Ninewa, including by using forces trained in civilian protection;
• Investing in stabilization, reconstruction, and reconciliation to address immediate risks and long-term drivers of violence;
• Pursuing justice and accountability for the thousands of victims of Islamic State violence in northern Iraq by starting prosecutions for crimes such as murder and sexual assault;
• Compelling the Iraqi Government and the Kurdistan Regional Authority to find a durable political solution for the disputed territory between them.
