    The Politics of Security in Ninewa: Preventing an ISIS Resurgence in Northern Iraq Julie Ahn—Maeve Campbell—Pete Knoetgen Client: Office of Iraq Affairs, U.S. Department of State Harvard Kennedy School Faculty Advisor: Meghan O’Sullivan Policy Analysis Exercise Seminar Leader: Matthew Bunn May 7, 2018 This Policy Analysis Exercise reflects the views of the authors and should not be viewed as representing the views of the US Government, nor those of Harvard University or any of its faculty. Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to the many people who helped us throughout the development, research, and drafting of this report. Our field work in Iraq would not have been possible without the help of Sherzad Khidhir. His willingness to connect us with in-country stakeholders significantly contributed to the breadth of our interviews. Those interviews were made possible by our fantastic translators, Lezan, Ehsan, and Younis, who ensured that we could capture critical information and the nuance of discussions. We also greatly appreciated the willingness of U.S. State Department officials, the soldiers of Operation Inherent Resolve, and our many other interview participants to provide us with their time and insights. Thanks to their assistance, we were able to gain a better grasp of this immensely complex topic. Throughout our research, we benefitted from consultations with numerous Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) faculty, as well as with individuals from the larger Harvard community. We would especially like to thank Harvard Business School Professor Kristin Fabbe and Razzaq al-Saiedi from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative who both provided critical support to our project.

  • The Islamic State Effect on Minorities in Iraq
    Review of Arts and Humanities June 2015, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 7-11 ISSN: 2334-2927 (Print), 2334-2935 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/rah.v4n1a2 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.15640/rah.v4n1a2 The Islamic State Effect on Minorities in Iraq Dr. Shak Hanish1 Abstract Since the control of “the Islamic state in Iraq and Syria” (ISIS) over large parts of Iraq, especially in the north, ethnic and religious minorities living there are facing several problems and challenges, including the issue of survival. In this paper, I will examine the impact of ISIS on these religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq and the problems they encounter. I will suggest some ways to help them withstand pressure and stay in their original homeland of Iraq, especially in Nineveh province, where most of these minorities of Christians, Yazedis, Shabaks, and Turkomans live. Keywords: The Middle East; Ethnic and Minority Issues; Human Rights; Religious Minorities Introduction Iraq is one of the important countries in the Middle East that includes several religious, ethnic, and national minorities that have lived there, some for thousands of years. Many are considered the indigenous people of Mesopotamia. They are the Chaldeans-Assyrians-Syriacs, the Yazidis, the Sabeans Mandaeans, the Shabaks, the Turkomans, and formerly the Jews. Their presence in Iraq dates back hundreds of years, some before the advent of Islam. They live in northern, central, and southern Iraq. Today, most of them live near the Kurdistan region of Iraq (Tayyar, 2014).

    Country Policy and Information Note Iraq: Security and humanitarian situation Version 6.0 May 2020 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • S/2015/852 Security Council
    United Nations S/2015/852 Security Council Distr.: General 9 November 2015 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in Iraq Summary The present report is the second on children and armed conflict in Iraq submitted by the Secretary-General. It contains information on the six types of grave violations against children and, more broadly, on the situation of children affected by conflict during the period from January 2011 to June 2015. The report highlights trends and patterns of grave violations committed against children in the context of armed violence and conflict in Iraq. It notes that the volatile security situation has resulted in limited access to affected populations for monitoring and documentation purposes, and that the figures and incidents contained herein only partially reflect the scope of grave violations against children. Nonetheless, the report highlights worsening trends in the killing and maiming of children, continued recruitment and use of children, attacks on schools and hospitals, abductions and denial of humanitarian access for children. The report provides a series of recommendations to end and prevent grave violations against children in Iraq and to improve their protection. 15-19546 (E) 301115 *1519546* S/2015/852 I. Introduction 1. The present report, prepared pursuant to Security Council resolution 1612 (2005) and subsequent resolutions on children and armed conflict, is the second on Iraq submitted to the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. It covers the period from January 2011 to June 2015 and highlights trends and patterns of violations committed against children in the context of armed violence and conflict since my previous report (S/2011/366).
