The head of a United Nations body investigating crimes by the Islamic State group in Iraq expressed regret over "misunderstandings" that led to the premature end of its crucial mission, at Baghdad's request.
IS seized vast swathes of Iraq and neighbouring Syria and proclaimed a "caliphate" in 2014, carrying out abductions, beheadings, ethnic cleansing, mass killings and rapes.
