That this House notes the commemoration of the 21st anniversary of the Halabja gas attack; recognises that the Halabja atrocity and the subsequent Anfal Campaign of 1988 together constituted a genocide against the Kurdish people; further recognises the results are still with the Halabja people through cancers, birth abnormalities, deformities, pollution and poisoned land; supports a proposal to establish a compensation fund for the survivors and the bereaved, to be funded by a percentage of profits made by oil and other companies who sign new contracts within the Iraqi and Kurdish governments; and calls on the Government to press the United Nations to release the names of all the companies who supplied the chemical agents to the Ba'ath regime so that the companies may be pressed to provide ex-gratia payments to the fund.

That this House is concerned that the failure to honour promises made after the First World War to the Assyrians and Kurdish minority communities on autonomy, the creation of a centralised Iraq in 1932 without provision for the security of minorities, the recent war of 2003 which led to the rise of fundamentalism, and the ethnic cleansing of the Mandaeans and Assyrian-Chaldeo-Syriacs in Basra, Baghdad and Mosul, place a special responsibility on the Government to these minorities; calls on the Government to therefore take a sympathetic attitude to asylum claims from these minorities; and urges the Government to learn from past mistakes and to use its influence in a robust way on the government of Iraq to ensure the safety of the aforementioned minorities as well as of Yezidis, Faili Kurds and Shabaks, so that a dishonourable withdrawal from Iraq is avoided.
