the state alone is unable [to do so], it can draw upon international cooperation by demanding direct support not [only] on the economic level, but also on the security level with international means and logistics to empower local agencies. Iraq is a perfect example of that. Iraq did not plan for the [re]construction and development after the regime change. This led it to fall into sectarianism after a century without political and economic stability, because of successive regimes unable to manage Iraq’s wealth, the continuing war and the combination of Islamic religious and civil - meaning man-made - legislations .. All this created laws and a discriminatory spirit, which left its impact on the psyche of the citizen, and opened the field wide open to the promotion of political, administrative and financial corruption, and especially among those in [a position of] power of all kinds. Therefore, vulnerable nations, such as religious and ethnic minorities, face continuous danger due to the lack of planning for their protection in the midst of the absence of justice and peace in general. The lack of the freedoms of assembly and expression, complementary initiatives to partake in power and the numerous mass slaughters through invasions and repeated occupation of Iraq, made unarmed people called minorities constant targets and [made them] live under the pressure of the people in power in the different authorities, which is the reason for their internal displacement first and then [their emigration] to distant lands. The rest of them are still suffering a tragic situation and that is the case for Iraqis today. Christians, Yazidis, Turkmen, and Shabak live in a situation of genocide, which left its mark on their psyche, which cannot be treated, except by starting to find possible realistic practical mechanisms or through [the factor of] time. Protection practically [means] to challenge injustice and violations such as hunger, poverty, danger to the physical, moral and financial being in [all] their forms, and racial discrimination, etc. Therefore, the demands of the Iraqi minorities are currently summarized with the following quick and possible standards in order to restore what is possible of their squandered rights by violence, which has no comparison, especially against women, children and innocent people in general. 1. Provide sufficient and fast humanitarian aid to meet the need of the victims of ISIS, who have been uprooted from their houses by the operations of genocide without any belongings and which are now in the depth of a cold winter in the province of Iraqi Kurdistan and other regions. They are in dire need of fast temporary housing solutions compatible with preserving their dignity.
