The ISIS War Crimes Investigation Must Begin Immediately

            ISIS has lost almost all of their territory. Many ISIS jihadists have been taken prisoner by Kurdish forces.
            A genocide was committed by ISIS jihadists against the Yazidi people. Thousands of Yazidis were slaughtered. Thousands of young Yazidi women and girls were taken as sex slaves. Lesser known are the smaller number of Christian women that were taken captive as sex slaves.
            Many of the women and girls taken as sex slaves have not returned. Those women and girls that escaped or that have been rescued know who are the rapists, murderers and enslavers.
            All ISIS now in captivity, and all ISIS women that are now in refugee camps, must be photographed. A concerted criminal investigation must be undertaken to determine who are these ISIS people and what it is that they did. Armed with photographs, the Yazidis, Christians and others that survived genocide and sexual slavery must be contacted to see if they can identify their ISIS offenders.
            The Yazidi children taken by ISIS to become brainwashed jihadists and that have returned home are also witnesses to ISIS crimes.
            Many ISIS rapists, murderers and enslavers are now in detention or are in refugee camps.
            Many of the ISIS fighters from the west and women from the west that flocked to Syria or Iraq to marry ISIS fighters want to return home. Most will claim innocence regarding ISIS crimes.  Before they are released and sent back to Europe and elsewhere, the criminal investigation must be undertaken.
             It must be undertaken now, before time passes and criminals slip away.
             Immediately create a database of ISIS fighters and ISIS members, men and women, now in detention or in refugee camps.
              Armed with photographs, Yazidis, Christians and other victims of ISIS crimes must be contacted to see if they can identify their offenders
              Meanwhile, a database must be collected of jihadist suspects already living in Europe. Victims of ISIS must be contacted to see if any of these jihadist suspects are ISIS offenders.

                Thousands of ISIS offenders, men and women, are alive. Thousands of ISIS victims that bear witness to their crimes are alive. There is no excuse for the criminal investigation not to begin immediately. Not doing so allows war criminals to escape.

                   The belief system that ISIS followed: martyrdom, jihad, killing, death worship, destroy the non believers and enslave their women and children, is alive and well. But that is a whole other discussion.
