Laibi also mentioned that “the Minister of Justice, Khaled Shawani, during the discussion of the latest report in Geneva, met with the President of the Red Cross and discussed the mechanism for repatriating the children to their home countries, urging these countries to retrieve the children from Iraq as soon as possible.”

In a related context, the spokesperson for the Iraqi Ministry of Migration and Displacement, Ali Abbas Jahangir, revealed in March of this year that more than 1,500 families from the Al-Hol camp had arrived in Iraq in recent years and were placed in the Jada’a camp to have their security files checked and to be rehabilitated.

Regarding the number of Iraqi families still detained in the Al-Hol camp, the Iraqi Migration spokesperson noted that “the figures are conflicting in this regard, and we are unable to verify them as the camp is not under our authority, but some figures indicate that there are around 5,000 families,” according to Zagros.

The return of families from the Al-Hol camp to Iraq poses many problems for the Iraqi authorities, given the opposition from some political and popular factions to their presence in the Jada’a camp, and the risks that may arise from this, as many of these families are connected to the Daesh organization. This is in addition to the issues related to registering children born to non-Iraqi fathers.
