Iraqi government says UNAMI's report lacks accuracy, credibility

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baghdad, 26 April 2007 (Voices of Iraq)

The Iraqi government expressed reservation over the recent report published by the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) on Wednesday, saying it lacks accuracy.

"The UNAMI report lacks accuracy and credibility in presenting data and reviewing the condition of human rights in Iraq," according to a statement from the media office of the Iraqi cabinet received by the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

"Despite Iraq's keenness to cooperate with the UNAMI in a transparent way, much information in the reports lacks credibility, as it was derived from unofficial or untrusted sources," the statement added.

"Publishing an unbalanced report like this will put UNAMI’s credibility on the line and deteriorate the humanitarian condition in Iraq, rather than solving it," the statement affirmed.

UNAMI issued its tenth report on the human rights situation in the country, covering the period from 1 January to 31 March 2007.

The report, received by (VOI), expresses UNAMI’s concern about rampant violations of human rights standards by the insurgency and various armed groups, and recognizes that these crimes have targeted civilians, law enforcement personnel and government employees.

Despite the progress cited in the report, it also noted the frequent failures of Iraq’s rule of law institutions to protect the life and dignity of all Iraqis in a manner that conforms with international humanitarian and human rights laws.
