These points mentioned above are not applied by Iraq neither in general nor in particular, and it is [also]
not committed to the protection of our people as a native people or as citizens. The Iraqi government’s has
a commitment to their protection, but conversely works on abridging their rights and human values, on
confiscating their cultural right and characteristic through legislations, violating the principles of Human
Rights and Rights of Minorities.
In view of this, we, the Christian Chaldean Syriac Assyrian people in Iraq, demand from you, the
international community and organisations concerned with Human Rights, Rights of Minorities and the
protection of native people, the following:
1. Enact the European parliament’s resolution issued in March 2015 in regards to the international
protection of the regions of the minorities in the Nineveh Plains and Sinjar and [get] its
international approval in order to create safe areas of international protection for the regions of
Sinjar and the Nineveh Plains in coordination with the governments of Baghdad and Erbil, to
guarantee the return of (Yazidis, Shabak and Christians) after the liberation of their regions from
the terrorist organization ISIS.
2. Intensify efforts to provide broader humanitarian relief from the United Nations agencies and
international organizations.
3. The need to issue an international resolution to consider the regions of the Nineveh Plains and
Qada Sinjar disaster areas subjected to ethnic cleansing, genocide. The resolution [shall] include a
reference to what obligations are entailed to compensate for all the material and moral losses.
4. The relentless pursuit by all legal means to consider what happened in Sinjar and the Nineveh
Plains a genocide and crimes against humanity with intensified efforts to liberate the abducted
Yazidis, Christians, and Shabak from the terrorist organization.
5. Demand the repeal of the second paragraph of the Article 26 of the National Identity Card Law,
which was approved by the Iraqi Parliament, and dictates the obligation to forcefully convert the
sons of non-Muslim minorities to Islam. This contradicts human rights, and international
conventions and regulations concerning freedom of belief, expression and opinion.
