Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that children born under Isis in Iraq are formally recognised.

​Children born under Daesh in Iraq remain particularly vulnerable and present significant protection challenges. We continue to raise with the Iraqi authorities the importance of formal recognition of children born under Daesh. We welcome the steps recently taken by the Iraqi government to address the specific problem of the legal status of children born to Yezidi survivors as a result of sexual violence.
