ISIS ISILが少数民族のYazidis の街を襲ったことはニュースでもTWでも流れている。

Horrific New Reports of the Islamic State's Rape and Sexual Violence Intensify Calls for Action
April 15, 2015 | 9:34 pm
Eight months after Islamic State extremists kidnapped hundreds — possibly thousands — of Yazidi women and girls from their centuries-old homeland in northern Iraq, the rape and extraordinary suffering they have experienced at the hands of their captors is falling into starker relief.拉致されて八か月、何千人もの女性や少女たちはどうなったのだろうか?
この記事はISISの手から逃れた女性たちから寄せられた情報である。11人の女性、9人の少女たちが体験した事実に基づいている。
The latest accounts of the abductees' fates come from Human Rights Watch (HRW), which recently interviewed 11 women and nine girls who were able to escape detention and flee to Kurdish controlled areas between September 2014 and January 2015. In a report released on Wednesday, the rights group said many of the Yazidis, including two 12-year-olds, had been sold among fighters and raped, and most were forced to marry their captors.HRWの報告:戦士たちに売られ、レイプされ強制結婚させれている。
"The men would come and select us," said Jalila, a 12-year-old girl who was kidnapped by the Islamic State (IS) — also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daash — from a village near Sinjar, Iraq. "When they came they would tell us to stand up and then examine our bodies. They would tell us to show our hair and sometimes they beat the girls if they refused."12歳の少女の身に起こったことー。
In March, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights released a delineation of IS crimes and concluded it was likely the group had committed genocide against the minority Yazidis.少数民族Yazidiに対する虐殺(ジェノサイド)だと国連人権委員会は結論を下した。
Upon seizing wide swaths of northern and eastern Iraq in summer 2014, IS summarily executed hundreds of Yazidi men and abducted an unknown number of females, who they admitted to treating as "spoils of war." In September, UN human rights officials in Iraq told VICE News that the number of women and girls held by IS could be as high as 2,500. Reports from that time that indicated some of the women were being sold and raped have since been confirmed by the UN and human rights groups.
In an October 2014 publication, IS argued that Yazidis could be treated as "slaves" because they are non-Muslim. That purported interpretation of Islamic doctrine and law was universally refuted by Muslim scholars that VICE News has spoken with in the months since. Despite condemnation from countless figures of great religious authority in the Sunni Muslim world — a community IS claims to represent with their self-styled caliphate in Syria and Iraq — the group continues to hold roughly 3,000 Yazidis hostage, according to UN estimates.
In Wednesday's HRW report, Jalila, who like all the interviewees was not identified by her real name, said one of the bearded IS fighters took her against her will, slapping her and dragging her away when she refused to accompany him. "I told him not to touch me and begged him to let me go," Jalila said. "I told him to take me to my mother. I was a young girl, and I asked him, 'What do you want from me?'" He spent three days having sex with me."
Before escaping, Jalila was "owned" by seven different militants, four of whom raped her repeatedly. "Sometimes I was sold. Sometimes I was given as a gift," she added. "The last man was the most abusive; he used to tie my hands and legs."まるで奴隷の扱い。
Other girls and young women told HRW similar stories. Dilara, a 20-year-old Yazidi, said fighters would begin arriving early in the morning to "buy girls and rape them." She continued: "They were like animals… Once they took the girls out, they would rape them and bring them back to exchange for new girls."動物のように少女たちを扱った兵士たち。(人間の方が動物よりけだもの)
This week, in its annual report on sexual violence in conflict, the UN drew specific attention to the crimes of extremist groups like IS and Nigeria's Boko Haram. Monday's report, nominally authored by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, warned that transnational terror organizations are using sexual assault and rape as an explicit "tactic of terror."恐怖の戦法”
The pattern of sexual violence is "integrally linked with the strategic objectives, ideology and funding of extremists groups," said Ban.
'They are using social media to implement a medieval mentality, that women have no rights, that we can sexually abuse them, and even sell them.'SNSを使った中世メンタリティーを履行している。
In his recommendations, the secretary general urged the UN Security Council to consider sexual violence as an act of terror and called on the Security Council Sanctions Committees that track designated terrorists to "fully integrate the issue of conflict-related sexual violence."性的暴力=恐怖を惹起する行為
Zainab Bangura, who worked on the report in her role as UN special representative on sexual violence in conflict, told VICE News that those recommendations were vital, as extremist groups are transnational actors, and pose problems to existing frameworks for tracking and punishing those who carry out sexual violence.
"It will send a signal that addressing sexual violence is included in our work on counterterrorism," said Bangura. "It can get security sector institutions like militaries and intelligence to focus on the issue."反テロリズムの施策なり方針の中に性的暴力も含まれる。
Bangura said the ability for UN human rights workers to track sexual violence is limited in Syria and Iraq, and in Nigeria, where Boko Haram is estimated to have kidnapped some 2,000 people, among them 276 schoolgirls from Chibok in the north of the country.シリアやイラクの追跡は厳しい。Boko Harama,は2000人を拉致している。276人の女子学生を含めてー。(それが解決されないことが、なぜか不思議ー)
Paradoxically, the inaccessibility of areas under IS control is pierced by social media accounts from fighters and those loyal to the group, which reference their treatment of women. "They are using social media to implement a medieval mentality, that women have no rights, that we can sexually abuse them, and even sell them," said Bangura.
Liesl Gerntholz, executive director of HRW's women's rights division, told VICE News that punishing members of IS and Boko Haram will be difficult, but reporting their crimes is essential, if only for helping the roughly 500 women and girls she said have escaped from the clutches of the two groups.二つのグループの魔手から逃れたおよそ500人の女性や少女たちを救うことになればー。ISやBOKO Harrmaメンバーを処罰することは難しいだろうが、彼らの犯罪を告発することは重要だ。
"We hope that at some point perpetrators will be held accountable, that in the not so distant future there will be some process where this evidence will be presented," said Gerntholz. Those that have escaped, like the girls interviewed by HRW, need access to medical care, psychological services, and possibly abortions — which are illegal in Iraq — if they have been impregnated by their rapists, she said.犯罪者が追及されるときこれが証拠になる。逃げることができた女性や少女たちの精神的身体的ケアーが必要、おそらく中絶も。イラクでは非合法だがー。
Like Bangura, Gerntholz said the Security Council needs to step up to help victims of sexual violence. "They have a fairly serious arsenal of tools they can use to monitor, track and respond to sexual violence, but they don't always use them as well as they could," she noted.国際連合安全保障理事会は性的暴力の被害者救済に踏み込むべきだ。性暴力に対応し、追跡、監視する手段(技術などを含めたあらゆる装備)はもつ力がありながら常にそれを施行するわけではない。

この記事を読んだ印象としては具体的な拉致された少数民族の女性や少女たちの悲惨な状況がうかがいしれるが、逃げ延びた女性や少女たちの報告は生々しく、ISの犯罪性をあぶりだしている。しかし人権組織(HRW)にも限界があることがわかる。安全保障理事会がISなどの残虐な行為を追及するとき、彼らの性的暴力性にも及んで追跡し、犠牲になる女性たちを助ける方策を取るべきだが、どうもあまり戦術として取り組まれていない印象だ。
SNSを使って自らの残虐性を広報し、世界に恐怖を植え付けている一部の中世的マインドのイスラムテロリストに世界が委縮してしまわないためにも、安全保障理事会はもっと毅然と動くべきなのだろう。どうもそこにはまたセクシュアリティーの光と闇のグレーゾーンが見え隠れしている。殺される男たち、性的オブジェクトになる女性たちに分断されている。←古くて新しい、変わらない人類の慣習(アーキタイプ)を見せつける。セクシュアリティーの面では、女・小女の変わらない位相も見え隠れしている。ところでGermaine Greerの二冊の本を注文した。
前から気になっていた彼女の名前がブログを通して迫ってきた。有名なThe female enunch と The Whole Woman である。
何冊か取り組んでいるテーマを書籍にまとめたい。琉球(沖縄)・アジア的な空間にあるもの!そして沖縄が弱い西欧との比較だね。
