Re: Halabja
First United Nations Commemoration Of Halabja
Diplomats, Victims and Human Rights Advocates Urge Annual Recognition And Increased Activism As Step To Deter Future Slaughters.
NEW YORK, NY - The enduring tragedies of the 1988 chemical weapons attack against the Iraqi Kurdish city of Halabja were commemorated for the first time at the United Nations.
Ambassadors, members of the Iraqi parliament, the human rights community and massacre survivors decried the world's silence at the time and urged steps taken to ensure no similar genocide again occurs.
Iraq's Ambassador to the United Nations, H.E. Dr. Hamid Al-Bayati, said holding the commemoration at the U.N. on the 21st anniversary of the genocide was an important milestone for the world to acknowledge the terror inflicted and the lack of action to protect the innocent and bring to justice those responsible.
