バグダッド発ロイター電（７月１０日付）は、イラクは国連に米軍部隊の免責特権を廃止するよう要請する、と大意次のように伝えた。イラク人を憤激させた強姦殺人で米軍が５人の兵士を起訴した結果にもとづいて月曜日、イラク人権相が語ったものである。
ミカエル人権相は国連への報告書を、先週設置した委員会で研究検討してまとめ、３週間内に内閣に提示し、それを国連安保理に提出する。もし免責特権の廃止ができないのであれば、現在おこなわれている調査で実効性のある役割を求める、と語った。
「イラク政府に役割（＝実効性のある調査権）がなければならないのだ」と。
イラク占領軍には国連安保理の文書による委任によってイラクの法令からの免責特権が与えられているが、そのことが現状のような混沌をを生みだした。つまり米軍兵士が暴虐行為を犯すのはイラクで免責特権が与えられているからだ、というのがイラク側の主張である。

Iraq to ask UN to end U.S. immunity after rape case

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq will ask the United Nations to end immunity from local law for U.S. troops, the human rights minister said on Monday, as the military named five soldiers charged in a rape-murder case that has outraged Iraqis.
In an interview a week after Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki demanded a review of foreign troops' immunity, Wigdan Michael said work on it was now under way and a request could be ready by next month to go to the U.N. Security Council, under whose mandate U.S.-led forces are in control of Iraq.
"We're very serious about this," she said, blaming a lack of enforcement of U.S. military law in the past for encouraging soldiers to commit crimes against Iraqi civilians, such as the alleged rape and murder of a teenager and killing of her family.
"We formed a committee last week to prepare reports and put it before the cabinet in three weeks. After that, Maliki will present it to the Security Council. We will ask them to lift the immunity," Michael said. "If we don't get that, then we'll ask for an effective role in the investigations that are going on.
"The Iraqi government must have a role."
Analysts say it is improbable the United States would ever make its troops answerable to Iraq's chaotic judicial system.
The day before handing formal sovereignty back to Iraqis in June 2004, the U.S. occupation authority issued a decree giving its troops immunity from Iraqi law. That remains in force and is confirmed in an annexe to Resolution 1546, the Security Council document that established the U.S.-led force's mandate in Iraq.
Many Iraqis have complained for the past three years about hundreds of civilians killed by U.S. troops and abuses such as those highlighted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal of 2004. Continued...
