In the light of these events, we urge the international community to take a serious and responsible stance to call upon an immediate end for the systematic ethnic cleansing campaign against Kurdish people in the Kurdish region and help Kurds protect their national identity. As well, we call upon the Security Council to bear its responsibility to protect Kurdish people by taking a strong and decisive stand against these crimes, and by employing all necessary measures. Therefore, we demand: I. The protection of the citizens of Western Kurdistan by creating an internationally-backed safe zone, like in other areas which experienced genocide and ethnic cleansing in the last century. 2. The application of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which ensures that perpetrators do not enjoy impunity of their gross crimes they commit, will guarantee the rights of the Kurdish victims of ethnic cleansing and genocide. 3. The reconstruction of the war-affected areas in the Kurdish region 4. Facilitate the return of displaced persons and refugees to their homes by imposing an internationally backed no-fly zone and a safe zone in Western Kurdistan region. Finally, we urge the United Nations to take and enforce effective measures to prevent the ongoing genocide against Kurdish people, because the continuous occurrence of genocide against Kurdish people means that the international community has failed to fulfil its obligations and responsibilities to ensure the prevention and punishment of these horrible atrocities. Undoubtedly, the responsibility for preventing genocide lies with a number of actors which include regional and international organizations and civil society.
