Three new Genocide Motions in the UK parliament
This new collaboration has resulted in three new motions in Parliament. We urge Armenians, Assyrians and Kurds to contact their MPs, asking them to sign all three Motions
GENOCIDE AGAINST THE ASSYRIAN AND ARMENIAN PEOPLE 1806
Spink, Bob
That this House urges the Government to recognise formally the genocide of Assyrians and Armenians under the Young Turk regime in Ottoman Turkey during 1915 to 1923; and welcomes the co-operation between groups representing the Armenian and Assyrian peoples, joined also by groups representing the Kurdish people who have also suffered genocide, in jointly working to encourage the whole international community to recognise the atrocities perpetrated against their respective peoples as genocide.
GENOCIDE AGAINST THE KURDISH PEOPLE 1805
Spink, Bob
That this House notes that the Supreme Criminal Court of Iraq has reached its verdict on the Anfal Campaign, declaring it to be a mass killing, a genocide, against the Kurdish people; and calls on the international community to respect the Court's decision and recognise the mass killing of Kurds as genocide.
IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM GENOCIDE EXHIBITION 1807
Spink, Bob
That this House welcomes the current exhibition by Kurdish artist Mr Osman Amed on the Anfal genocide at the Imperial War Museum; and urges the Government to recognise Saddam Hussein's killing of Kurdish people in Iraq during the period 1987 to 1988, including the Anfal campaign and the Halabja chemical attack, as an act of genocide
