Today, on the International Day of Criminal Justice, the Coalition for Just Reparations (C4JR) reaffirms the urgent need for comprehensive, survivor-centered accountability in Iraq.
The transfer of more than 5,000 ISIS affiliates from Syria to Iraq in early 2026 presents a historic opportunity to ensure accountability for the full scope of alleged international crimes** committed by ISIS, including genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, sexual violence, torture, enslavement, forced displacement, and other serious violations of international law.
To date, accountability efforts in Iraq have largely relied on terrorism-related charges. As a result, the true nature and gravity of ISIS crimes have often remained unaddressed in judicial proceedings, limiting the establishment of a comprehensive judicial record and preventing survivors from meaningfully participating in justice processes.
This is why adopting Iraq's Draft Law on Core International Crimes is more important than ever. Enacting this law would enable Iraqi courts to prosecute international crimes in line with international standards, ensure that the full gravity of ISIS crimes is recognized, and place survivors' rights, voices, and experiences at the center of justice.
For survivors, justice means more than convictions. It means truth, acknowledgment of the harm they endured, meaningful participation in judicial processes, and access to effective reparations that restore dignity and help rebuild lives.
As Iraq assumes responsibility for prosecuting thousands of ISIS suspects, this is a defining moment to strengthen the rule of law, deliver survivor-centered justice, and contribute to lasting peace and the prevention of future atrocities.

On the 12th Anniversary of the Camp Speicher Massacre, Jiyan Foundation for Human Rights, Victims of Iraq in Speicher-1700 and the Coalition for Just Reparations (C4JR) are pleased to launch a new report: Comparative Study of the Yazidi Survivors Law and Camp Speicher Law: Implementation and Intersections
Twelve years after the Camp Speicher Massacre and nearly twelve years after the atrocities committed against Yazidis and other minorities, questions of justice, accountability, and reparations remain central to the experiences of victims, survivors, and their families.
This report examines the implementation of the Camp Speicher Law and the Yazidi Survivors Law, highlighting both achievements and persistent challenges in delivering justice and reparations to those affected by ISIS atrocities in Iraq. Through legal analysis, interviews with government officials, civil society representatives, survivors, and victims’ families, the study identifies common implementation gaps and explores opportunities to strengthen survivor-centered approaches across both frameworks.
The report underscores the importance of meaningful victim participation, transparent procedures, effective institutional coordination, and accessible reparations mechanisms that respond to the needs and rights of survivors and victims’ families. It concludes with recommendations for Iraqi authorities, civil society organizations, and international partners aimed at improving the implementation of reparations programs and advancing accountability efforts.
As we commemorate the victims of the Camp Speicher Massacre, we reaffirm that remembrance must be accompanied by concrete measures to ensure justice, dignity, and reparations for all victims and survivors of ISIS crimes.
