In January, KHRP sent a fact-finding mission to the Kurdish Regions of Iraq, which comprised visits to Sulemanya, Dohuk and Arbil in the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), as well as to Kirkuk. The mission sought to investigate human rights developments in a region which has been transformed in so many ways since the fall of the Baathist regime in Iraq in 2003.
The particular focuses were the treatment of minorities, freedom of expression and the awareness and understanding of human rights. The mission met with a range of government, intergovernmental and NGO representatives. Observations and recommendations will be laid out in full in a report in April.
