As part of its legal mandate, CIGE supports the investigations by competent third states, regional or international courts or investigative mechanisms, into ISIS crimes against ethno-religious minorities from the Sinjar region and the Ninevah Plains. To do this, CIGE has developed relationships with critical law enforcement agencies in third states in order to receive and respond to requests for assistance (RFAs) and continue to pursue additional partnerships with third states, in support of our mandate. Dedicated analysts have been trained to carry out search and analysis tasks in support of incoming requests, to draft requirements including informed consent procedures and record all requests and responses.
