The Yazidi Survivors Law and Iraq’s Unmet Obligations Under International Human Rights Law
This article examines Iraq’s Yazidi Survivors Law and the gap between its legal promises and practical implementation for survivors of ISIL atrocities. It analyses how the criminal complaint requirement, the exclusion of children born of sexual violence, and the failure to establish rehabilitation services undermine Iraq’s obligations under international human rights law. The piece argues that these shortcomings deny Yazidi survivors effective reparations, protection, and long-term justice.
