Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “CRS Issue Brief” describes conditions in the region of northern Iraq in April 1991, the US and international response to the plight of the Kurds, and the short and long-term policy issues that the US Congress may consider in that regard. The report begins with a review of the short-term actions taken by the United States to help the Kurds and the background to this assistance in terms of international assistance. The brief then describes the status of refugees in and from Iraq as of September 20, 1991, including regions in the north and south of Iraq. Mention is also made of the conditions elsewhere in Iraq, especially the damage to the Iraqi infrastructure and the food situation. A separate section of the brief reviews the international activities in Iraq, with specific figures showing requests for international humanitarian assistance by the United Nations and the Red Cross. US assistance up until September 20, 1991 is presented, in terms of the programmes funded, the amounts and the dates. Additional information on US assistance includes requests for additional aid and Congressional action, the role of the US military, and Operation Safe Haven. The last part of the brief analyses the long-term implications of the crisis for US policy and the Congress. Among the issues discussed are: funding relief and reconstruction; Iraqi reconstruction and international sanctions; the long-term security needs of the Kurds; the question of sovereignty; reorganizing UN humanitarian assistance.
Book Synopsis Iraq's Displacement Crisis: Security and protection by : Lahib Higel
Download or read book Iraq's Displacement Crisis: Security and protection written by Lahib Higel and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the present displacement crisis began in January 2014 with the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al Sham (ISIS), the humanitarian emergency in Iraq has become more severe. The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Iraq now stands at 3.2 million, while more than 8 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. With the UN lacking funding and the Government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) under both military and economic strain, the protection of human rights and provision of humanitarian assistance have been gravely compromised. Iraq’s Displacement Crisis: security and protection provides an up-todate overview of the situation of IDPs in Iraq since the ISIS onslaught and resulting conflict, including not only forced displacement committed by ISIS but also that perpetrated by other armed groups, including government forces. The report also explores the facilitation of IDP returns to areas of origin. Due to poor living conditions in areas of displacement, many families are seeking to return even though the situation in their area of origin may not have improved. Almost without exception, however, liberated areas are in need of better security, reconstruction of basic infrastructure and the resumption of public services. Two years on, social tensions are rising in both areas of displacement and areas of return. With new population movements and territorial control shifting between armed groups, host communities and authorities are under greater pressure. Intimidation and harassment of IDPs based on their origins are common and increasing in areas of displacement. Communities who find themselves in areas where they are a religious, ethnic or linguistic minority live in fear of physical assault and discrimination. In the context of limited governance and continued insecurity, the opportunity afforded by the retaking of territory from ISIS is being lost. If communities are unable to co-exist, Iraq may soon reach a point beyond repair. Post-liberation strategies are therefore urgently required that are comprehensive in addressing security needs but are also aimed at reconciliation, reparation and re-establishing the rule of law.
Book Synopsis Iraqi Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons by : Rhoda Margesson
Download or read book Iraqi Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons written by Rhoda Margesson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The humanitarian crisis many feared would take place in March 2003 as a result of the war in Iraq appears to be unfolding. It is estimated that in total (including those displaced prior to the war) there may be two million Iraqi refugees who have fled to Jordan, Syria, and other neighboring states, and approximately two million Iraqis who have been displaced within Iraq itself. This report provides an analysis of the current crisis, including the conditions for those displaced in Iraq and the refugee situations in Syria, Jordan, and elsewhere. It also provides information on the U.S. and international response and examines refugee resettlement options in the United States. Aspects of this crisis that may be of particular interest to the 110th Congress include a focus on an immediate response (providing humanitarian relief funding), examining resettlement policies, and developing a strategy to manage the displaced, particularly within Iraq. This report will be updated as events warrant. For more information on Iraq, see CRS Report RL31339, Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security, Christopher M. Blanchard, Coordinator, and CRS Report RL33793, Iraq: Regional Perspectives and U.S. Policy, by Kenneth Katzman.

Book Synopsis Humanitarian challenges in Iraq’s displacement crisis by : Ahmed Hassin
Download or read book Humanitarian challenges in Iraq’s displacement crisis written by Ahmed Hassin and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are currently more than four million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Iraq. Many remain in a state of profound insecurity, at risk of arbitrary detention or attack not only from the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) but also from Iraqi Security Forces, Shi’a militias, Kurdish forces and other actors. As significant numbers of IDPs try to return to their areas of origin, fresh waves of displacement from Mosul and elsewhere are taking place. IDPs continue to face harsh and even life-threatening conditions as Iraq’s conflict continues. Many are without access to adequate food, shelter and essential services such as health care, water and sanitation, particularly those trapped in remote or conflict-affected areas. Women, children and persons with disabilities are especially vulnerable. Education remains inaccessible or unaffordable for many, with an estimated three million children out of school as a result of conflict and displacement.While authorities have struggled to provide adequate protection and assistance to a large number of IDPs, their vulnerability is further exacerbated by restrictions on freedom of movement imposed by Iraqi and Kurdish security forces. IDPs routinely suffer discrimination on the basis of their ethnic or religious identity. Sunni IDPs, for example, are frequently denied entry to Baghdad on the assumption that their numbers may include ISIS sympathizers.Returnees face considerable risks as numerous homes and neighbourhoods have been booby trapped by retreating ISIS fighters or still contain explosive remnants of war (ERW). Despite these dangerous conditions, authorities are encouraging IDPs to return without raising adequate awareness about the potential threats or ways to minimize them. As a result, deaths and injuries have already been reported among returning IDPs. This report recommends: - The Government of Iraq (GoI) and the Kurdish Regional Gov- ernment (KRG) should remove barriers to IDPs accessing services including by allowing, on an emergency basis, for identity documents to be issued to IDPs in their current gov- ernorate of residence and ensuring that documentation and registration procedures do not discriminate on grounds of religion, ethnicity or - Iraqi authorities and international donors should prioritise resources to meet the humanitarian needs of IDPs, including access to shelter, food and non-food aid, and health care. This should include specific provision for displaced women and for persons with disabilities. Education should be an immediate priority for school-age children who have been internally - International agencies should also work with the Iraqi authorities to support the rebuilding of damaged infrastructure and the resumption of local services in areas retaken from ISIS; and provide technical support for mine clearance and risk education campaigns to protect civilians from expo- sure to the threats of explosive remnants of war upon their return.

Book excerpt: The Kurds in Iraq by Kerim Yildiz, explores the key issues facing the Kurds in Iraq in the aftermath of the US-led invasion and chaos of the occupation. It is the most clear and up-to-date account of the problems that all political groups face in rebuilding the country, as well as exploring Kurdish links and international relations in the broader sense. It should be required reading for policy-makers and anyone interested in the current position of the Kurds in Iraq. Yildiz explores the impact of war and occupation on Iraqi Kurdistan, and in particular the crucial role of the city of Kirkuk in the post-war settlement. He also looks at how UN rifts potentially affect the Kurds; relations between Iraqi Kurds and Turkey; relations with Iran; and US policy towards the Kurds.

Book Synopsis Humanitarian Intervention Assisting the Iraqi Kurds in Operation Provide Comfort, 1991 by : Gordon W. Rudd
Download or read book Humanitarian Intervention Assisting the Iraqi Kurds in Operation Provide Comfort, 1991 written by Gordon W. Rudd and published by Military Bookshop. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With full color photographs and maps. "Humanitarian Intervention" is an operational study of the U.S.-led relief effort PROVIDE COMFORT, hastily organized in the spring of 1991 in response to the international outcry to stop the suffering and dying of the Iraqi Kurds who had been brutally suppressed in the aftermath of DESERT STORM and had fled across a mountainous border into Turkey. Gordon W. Rudd documents and describes this challenging operation involving joint and multinational forces. His study validates the capacity of military forces, well trained for war, not only to adapt quickly for humanitarian relief missions without specialized preparation but also to work alongside civilian relief agencies attempting to assist the refugees, requiring significant cooperation between the two groups. Today the potential of the new round of military-led peace operations to reduce turmoil and conflict-and, in effect, contribute to shaping the international environment-is significant, and soldiers now deployed in distant lands amidst unfamiliar people in the service of their nation will find Rudd's instructive perspective and record of the Army's experience invaluable.

Book excerpt: "Amid the criticism of the UN's apparent failure to intervene in humanitarian disasters there has been little scholarly consideration of the real issues.
