Government

We are lobbying public officials and policy makers on the local national, and international level so that U.S. and foreign governments will recognize the Kurdish genocide and other related issues. So far, Iraq has recognized the Barzani, Feyli, and Anfal genocides. The Norwegian, Swedish, British, and South Korean Parliaments started the global trend of recognizing the Anfal genocide. Various governmental institutions including the US Congress, US Department of State, UK House of Commons, French Senate, among others, have recognized the ISIS’ brutal actions against the Yazidis, Christians, and other minority group as genocide. But we have a lot more work to do!

UN

We are lobbying the UN Security Council, the UN General Assembly, and other UN bodies to recognize the Kurdish genocides and other related issues. Currently, the UNHCR has recognized the brutal acts of ISIS against the Yazidis, Christians, and Shi’a Muslims as genocide. We have just scratched the surface on our advocacy work at the UN.

European Institutions Advocacy

We are lobbying the European Union, Council of Europe, and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to recognize the Kurdish genocides, among other related issues. While the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has recognized the ISIS genocide of the Yazidis, Christians, and Shi’a Muslims, we are excited to obtain recognition from the other European institutions for the recognition of the other Kurdish genocides, including the Anfal, Barzani, and Feyli genocides.
