Daesh Genocide
in Iraq and Syria
DESCRIPTION
The self-proclaimed Islamic State (Daesh/ISIS) committed genocide and crimes against humanity against Yazidis, Christians, and other minorities, including mass killings, sexual slavery, and forced conversions.
From 2014, Daesh/ISIS launched a genocidal campaign against Yazidis, Christians, Shia Muslims, and other minorities in Iraq and Syria. Thousands were massacred, women and girls were enslaved and subjected to systematic sexual violence, children were abducted, and entire communities were displaced or destroyed. Survivors continue to suffer from trauma, displacement, and the destruction of cultural and religious heritage.
What has been done:
The Coalition supported documentation efforts, submitted evidence to UN mechanisms, and advocated for recognition of the genocide. It has pushed for accountability through UNITAD, national courts, and international advocacy campaigns.
