Crimes against Kurds

책 소개

On October 16, 2017 Iraq renewed ethnic cleansing of Kurdish and other minorities in the disputed territories. This report details abuses experienced by the Kurdish community in oil-rich Kirkuk and other disputed territories. Iraqi state “Arabisation” policy displaces Kurdish populations, which are then repopulated with settlers from other parts of Iraq. This is accomplished through direct violence, the creation of security vacuums where abuses can be carried out by non-state offenders including militias and ISIS. Displacement is then enforced through threats and violations of Kurdish security, repression of Kurdish culture and language, discrimination in employment, and the harrassment of journalists. Crimes Against Kurds uses a mixed methodology of open source documentation and interviews to gather information about the human rights abuses taking place in Iraqi Kurdistan. This report includes a preliminary legal analysis and documents collected by Crimes Against Kurds to show accountability is needed for perpetrators of these abuses. These perpetrators include the Iraqi state, Iranian-backed militias and ISIS. The report concludes with recommendations for national and international action to stop the ethnic cleansing and hold those responsible to account. KEY FINDINGS • 122 documented cases of murder (including 2 journalists) between 2017 and 2022 • 51 documented cases of farm burnings between 2019 and 2022 • 25 documented cases of kidnapping/abduction between 2018 and 2022 • American-supplied weapons used to attack Kurdish security forces and civilians • Journalists harassed and killed • Security vacuum used to displace Kurds via ISIS and militias • Iraqi state ethnic cleansing directives collected
