Helping survivors of ISIS conflict in Iraq realize their right to reparations

"We are not hoping for reparation in camps but in the original places. Situation in the campsite is very difficult. Family of 10 people living in a tent. For five years we have been in a tent, even though it should be six months. We want to go back to our original areas."

"We hope that somewhere else than in tents, no future, we are suffering in tents. We will return to our original places but there needs to be safety by the government. Many leave because there is no security in Iraq.”

"The Yazidis suffered too much - we cannot forget what happened to us - we were assaulted. No family of the Yazidis that were not damaged.”

What we want?

The Coalition for Just Reparations (C4JR) is an alliance of Iraqi civil society organizations (CSOs), representing Iraq’s linguistic, ethnic and religious diversity, supporting reparation claims of survivors and other victims of crimes perpetrated during the conflict with the self-declared Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS conflict in Iraq). C4JR draws on international human rights and national law to advance the right to reparations of all civilian victims of ISIS armed conflict in Iraq.
