Johanna L. Rivera: Another thing I want Ercan to give a little overview because we have been working together between Iraq and Turkey. We have been using the Turkish legal system to go against Ilisu dam … and thirdly, how to compound that international law inspires us to go to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Interjection [1:11]: There should be a representative from the Ministry of Environment and the Water Resources Ministry also.
JLR [1:30]: But the issue is at an international level so Iraq, as a State, has to present a case at the International Court of Justice. But for this, they have to talk to Turkey first. This is the information we have.
It’s a big challenge for us to go to the International Court of Justice, Turkey also needs to recognise the jurisdiction of the ICJ.
Interjection [2:26]: We need cooperation between the [Iraq] ministries
JLR[] We are running out of time. Maybe later if we can discuss … [gesticulates to interjector to come and discuss further]
Iraq woman: We have only 10 minutes.

On an international level, we could have stopped in the last 13-15 years three times. But … The dam would bring huge ecological and social destruction in our region. The destruction here in Iraq will be much bigger.
So now I will speak about the regular wars against the Ilisu dam.
In 1999, the first trial was brought against the Ilisu dam, brought by the mayor of city of Hasankeyf. This trial has been connected to a trial that has been started four years later. A famous lawyer has been connected to (briefed for) the Administrative Court in Diyarbakir .. the destruction ..
The actual destruction in Turkey is very important for it is the centre of destruction, even though the social and ecological destruction is less.
After long years, the Court in 2010 has decided to have a scientific commission to determine what the actual destruction will be. The dam is very important and, the public interest is very big, to determine if the dam should be built.
