Iraq Approves Compensation Fund for Victims of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity
Iraqi Council of Ministers Approves Dedicated Fund to Compensate Victims of International Crimes, Including Yazidi Genocide, in a Step Toward Justice and Redress
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - In a practical step toward justice and compensation for victims of genocide and international crimes, Iraq’s Council of Ministers, with the approval of the prime minister, has approved the establishment of a dedicated fund to compensate victims.
According to a statement issued on Friday, by Khalaf Sinjari, the Iraqi prime minister’s adviser for Yazidi affairs, the decision was made within the framework of the draft International Crimes Law concerning genocide, crimes against humanity, and other international crimes.
The Council of Ministers approved two main measures related to the establishment and operation of the fund.
The first decision provides for the establishment of a fund named the Fund for the Compensation of Victims of International Crimes at the level of a department, below the rank of a general directorate.
The fund will have legal personality as well as financial and administrative independence.
Its budget will be financed through grants and assistance provided by states, international and regional organizations and institutions, alongside funds and compensation obtained by the Iraqi state through judicial lawsuits and claims related to international crimes.
The second decision stipulates that the fund’s responsibilities, its administrative affiliation, organizational structure, management mechanism, spending channels, and all other matters related to its operations will be determined through regulations to be issued later by the Council of Ministers.
The decision was described as an important and necessary step toward consolidating justice, protecting victims’ rights, and compensating those affected by international crimes.
Sinjari particularly highlighted the victims of the genocide against the Yazidis, as well as victims of crimes against humanity.
The establishment of the fund comes within the framework of Iraq’s draft International Crimes Law and is intended to provide a mechanism for compensation and the protection of the rights of victims of genocide and international crimes.

Thanks for putting together such a readable article! The f1 reaction time test sounds especially enjoyable for fans who love the tension before a race begins. Watching the starting lights and responding at the right moment makes each round engaging. I would enjoy trying several attempts and comparing the scores to see which result comes out on top.
Top Free Games seems to be a good destination for people who want to entertain themselves in their free time. Free online games are always nice to have during breaks from work or everyday activities since they provide people with quick entertainment opportunities. I enjoy the games which are easy to play.
This initiative is a significant step for Iraq in recognizing the suffering endured by victims. I wonder how this fund will be managed to ensure transparency and effectiveness? Speaking of puzzles, do you think there's a wordle hint that could relate to justice or healing?
