In Memory of Halabja
In Memory of Halabja16 March 1988 — The city of Halabja was subjected to one of the most devastating chemical attacks against a civilian population in modern history. Thousands of innocent men, women, and children were killed, and many more suffered lasting physical and psychological harm.
The assault formed part of a broader campaign of systematic repression and is widely recognized as constituting crimes against humanity. It stands as a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of the most fundamental principles protecting civilian life.
Halabja remains a solemn reminder of the global prohibition against chemical weapons. The principles embodied in the Chemical Weapons Convention and other international legal instruments exist to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated.
We honor the victims by reaffirming our commitment to justice, accountability, human dignity, and international cooperation. The legacy of Halabja calls upon the world to defend civilian populations and uphold universal human rights
