The UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances, which monitors the implementation of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance,

ratified by Iraq on 23 November 2010, urged the State party on 18 November 2021 to locate and return to Iraq

Mr Mohammed AL DARAJI, who has been missing since he was abducted from his home on 10 February 2014.

Late that night, armed members of the  militia went to the Huiesh neighbourhood of Samarra in the Saladin governorate (north of Baghdad)

where they raided Mr Al Daraji's home and forcibly took him away to an unknown destination.
