Recommendation
In 2015, CRC ... urged Iraq to repeal without delay articles 409, 128, 130 and 131 of the Criminal Code and any other legal provisions that might be used or interpreted as permitting “honourable motives” to serve as a mitigating factor and ensure that the defence of “honour” might not be invoked under any circumstances and that perpetrators of gender-based violence and crimes committed in the name of “honour”, including extrajudicial killings, received sanctions commensurate with the gravity of their crimes. [Para 53]
