September 13th is the first day of the United Nation's General Assembly.

I would expect the global alliance against Daesh to be more than obvious. (click here) I believe any and all mentions of attacks within countries, including a list of victims, would be brought to the meeting as well. I think documentation on an annual basis of such terrorist attacks and their victims should be a part of the assembly this year and every year thereafter. The people we lost must be remembered.

Arkan Qassim, center, stands May 19, 2016, at the site where he witnessed the killing dozens of Yazidi men including two sons of Rasho Qassim, right, in August 2014 in Hardan, northern Iraq.

Surrounded by smoke and flames, (click here) the sound of gunshots echoing around him, the young man crouched in the creek for hours, listening to the men in his family die.
On the other side of the mountain, another survivor peered through binoculars as the handcuffed men of neighboring villages were shot and then buried by a waiting bulldozer. For six days he watched as the extremists filled one grave after another with his friends and relatives.
Between them, the two scenes of horror on Sinjar mountain contain six burial sites and the bodies of more than 100 people, just a small fraction of the mass graves Islamic State extremists have scattered across Iraq and Syria....
One thing to remember is that many of these mass graves were dug by those buried in them.
