    HUMAN RIGHTS UNAMI Office of the United Nations United Nations Assistance Mission High Commissioner for for Iraq – Human Rights Office Human Rights Report on the Protection of Civilians in the Armed Conflict in Iraq: 11 December 2014 – 30 April 2015 “The United Nations has serious concerns about the thousands of civilians, including women and children, who remain captive by ISIL or remain in areas under the control of ISIL or where armed conflict is taking place. I am particularly concerned about the toll that acts of terrorism continue to take on ordinary Iraqi people. Iraq, and the international community must do more to ensure that the victims of these violations are given appropriate care and protection - and that any individual who has perpetrated crimes or violations is held accountable according to law.” − Mr. Ján Kubiš Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General in Iraq, 12 June 2015, Baghdad “Civilians continue to be the primary victims of the ongoing armed conflict in Iraq - and are being subjected to human rights violations and abuses on a daily basis, particularly at the hands of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Ensuring accountability for these crimes and violations will be paramount if the Government is to ensure justice for the victims and is to restore trust between communities. It is also important to send a clear message that crimes such as these will not go unpunished’’ - Mr. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, 12 June 2015, Geneva Contents Summary ...................................................................................................................................... i Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Methodology ..............................................................................................................................

  • Confiscated Turkmen Lands and the Justice of Kirkuk's Arabs and The
    Summary of confiscation of the land and demographic changes of the Iraqi Turkmen region* Date: 1 July, 2013 No: Rep.4-F0113 Introduction Iraq is one of the best examples of a non-democratic, multi-ethnic and nationalistic community. As the Israeli threats strengthened and toughened Arab nationalism, the Kurdish nationalism paralleled the Arabic nationalism. Hence, the exposure of the smaller communities to serious assimilation policies, and sometimes to ethnic cleansing, was unavoidable. Unfortunately, as the plight of the Iraqi Turkmen has been neglected by the international community, their territories, population size and their exposure to the atrocities remain unknown. The confiscation of land and the alteration of the regional demography clearly characterize how the Iraqi Turkmen have been subjected to aggressive violations of human rights. Population The absence of reliable data about the population size of non-ruling communities (minorities) is well known, moreover, due to the multi-ethnic nature and the nationalistic atmosphere of Iraq, the population of the Iraqi Turkmen has been extremely underestimated to 2% of the general Iraqi population. The large Turkmen regions easily falsify such an Iraqi statistic. The most reliable estimate which can be made for the size of the Iraqi Turkmen today should be more than two million people. The relatively reliable outcomes of the census 1957 which was announced in 1958 presented the population of the Turkmen of Iraq as 567,000, which made 9%, of the total Iraqi population, while the same census showed that the Kurds constitute 13% of the total Iraqi population.1, 2 Geography The Turkmen of Iraq live mainly in the north and middle of Iraq.
