Islamic State committing genocide against Yazidis: U.N.
Source: Reuters
Islamic State (ISIS) has committed the crime of genocide against the Yazidis in Syria and Iraq, seeking to destroy the ethno-religious group of 400,000 through killings, sexual slavery and other crimes, United Nations investigators said on Thursday.
"The genocide of the Yazidis is ongoing," the independent investigators said in a report, which urged major powers to rescue at least 3,200 women and children still held by ISIS and to refer the case to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for prosecution.

We get it, UN. The sky is blue. Water is wet. ISIS commits genocide. They are a doomsday cult. The question is: what are you going to do about it?
