In particular, the court found that they deliberately targeted the religious identity of the girls. But attacks on religion are not limited to individual victims: ISIS systematically destroyed dozens of Yazidi shrines and temples, a tactic that has so far gone unprosecuted. International law struggles to clearly identify and name the targeting of religion itself as a crime in its own right.
