The Kurds, currently without a sovereign state, have been partitioned among five separate countries (Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran, and the former Soviet Union) as per the Sykes-Picot agreement.1 Ever since this partition, they have been enduring various forms of genocide. This chapter provides an overview of how the perpetrators of these crimes and the countries supporting them have never taken responsibility. Additionally, it looks at how the international community and its institutions, including the UN Charter of 1945, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948, and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) of 1998, constrained by their principles and procedures, have been unable to effectively address the genocide of the Kurds. As a result, the genocide of the Kurds persists posing a threat to local and international security and peace.

摘要

The Kurds, currently without a sovereign state, have been partitioned among five separate countries (Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran, and the former Soviet Union) as per the Sykes-Picot agreement.1 Ever since this partition, they have been enduring various forms of genocide. This chapter provides an overview of how the perpetrators of these crimes and the countries supporting them have never taken responsibility. Additionally, it looks at how the international community and its institutions, including the UN Charter of 1945, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948, and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) of 1998, constrained by their principles and procedures, have been unable to effectively address the genocide of the Kurds. As a result, the genocide of the Kurds persists posing a threat to local and international security and peace.
