On Tuesday, the German Frankfurt court upheld a life sentence for an Iraqi ISIS mercenary named Taha Al-Jumaili, after he was convicted of genocide against the Yazidis in Southern Kurdistan.

According to "AFP", the Frankfurt court judges considered that "Taha al-Jumaili is guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity that led to his death."

It should be noted that this is the first time in the world that a court has ruled the atrocities committed against the Yazidis amounting to "genocide" as previously described by UN investigators.

And in July of this year, the Belgian parliament voted unanimously on a bill classifying the crimes of ISIS mercenaries against the Yazidis as "genocide", allowing the local judiciary to prosecute those involved and support any initiative in this direction by the international community.
