On 19 December, the House of Lords will debate the policy towards China, especially in relation to human rights and security issues arising from China’s actions in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, and the South China Sea, and against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
The Coalition for Genocide Response, together with the IBAHRI, produced a briefing commenting on the situation of the Uyghur community and called for comprehensive responses from the UK government.

The Coalition for Genocide Response joined the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute, the Free Yezidi Foundation, Yazda and the Sinjar Academy in a submission to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Iraq. The UPR is a unique mechanism of the Human Rights Council that calls for each UN Member State to undergo a peer review of its human rights records every 4.5 years. Iraq is due to have its 4th review in January 2025.
On 22 and 23 July 2024, the Coalition for Genocide Response will co-host two sessions in the UK Parliament to mark the 10th anniversary of the Yazidi Genocide.
The sessions, co-hosted with the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) and the British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union, are to commemorate victims and survivors of the atrocities perpetrated by Daesh and emphasise the ongoing need to address the crimes with comprehensive responses.
Speakers include Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws LT KC, Brendan O’Hara MP, Hewan Omer (Free Yezidi Foundation), Ahmed Khudida (Yazda), Alex Crawford OBE (Sky News), Dr Ewelina Ochab, among others.
On 22 July 2024, the session is hosted in the Lord Speaker’s House. The event is by invitation only.
On 23 July 2024, the session is hosted in the IPU Room. In-person and online participation are accommodated.
On 29 April 2024, the Genocide (Prevention and Response) Bill, a Private Members’ Bill introduced by our patron Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws LT KC, will have its committee stage before the House of Lords.
The committee stage is where a detailed examination of the Bill takes place.

One year after the devastating war in Sudan began, the Raoul Wallenberg Center for Human Rights (RWCHR) released the world’s first inquiry into breaches of the Genocide Convention in Darfur, Sudan, to hold the chief perpetrators to account. Our co-founder Dr Ewelina Ochab contributed to the review process and endorsed the report.
