Yazda has led the fight for justice in courts of law in France and Germany, in partnership with Amal Clooney and our appointed legal teams. Landmark victories in all recent court proceedings and tribunals demonstrate that accountability is indeed possible. Thousands of survivors still deserve to see their time in court and have justice served against Da’esh fighters and members of the militant group.

Documenting the Yazidi Genocide

In pursuit of justice for genocide victims, the Yazda Documentation team seeks to preserve and record evidence of the crimes of genocide committed by Da’esh. Yazda has helped initiate the establishment of the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability Against Da’esh Crimes (UNITAD) at the United Nations Security Council. Today, Yazda and UNITAD work closely to ensure scientific rigor, forensics technology, and survivor self-determination methods are driving the documentation of genocide committed by Da’esh in Iraq.
