Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Stephen Twigg (Labour and Co-operative Party), on Friday, 22 January 2016, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 55 members in total.
TREATMENT OF YAZIDI AND CHRISTIAN MINORITIES
That this House considers the treatment of the Yazidi and Assyrian Christian minorities in Daesh-held territory strongly indicates that genocide is occurring, bringing to mind previous atrocities committed against these communities; believes that now the Assyrians and Yazidis face their greatest existential threat ever, from Daesh; calls for the establishment by the UN of a Safe Haven and Protectorate for the ancient Yazidi and Assyrian nations, with its security guaranteed by an international treaty; supports moves to ensure that humanitarian efforts are efficient in supporting Yazidi communities; and condemns the forced enslavement, conversion, death or exile of the Yazidi community.
