crimes, and ethnic cleansing against [Christian, Yezidi, 
Turkmen, Shabak, Sabaean-Mandean, and Kaka’i] com-
munities in Nineva’’ and ‘‘perpetrated genocide against 
the Yezidi people’’; 
Whereas on December 7, 2015, the United States Commis-
sion on International Religious Freedom called on the 
United States Government ‘‘to designate the Christian, 
Yezidi, Shi’a, Turkmen, and Shabak communities of Iraq 
and Syria as victims of genocide by ISIL’’ and urged 
world leaders ‘‘to condemn the genocidal actions and 
crimes against humanity of ISIL that have been directed 
at these groups and other ethnic and religious groups’’; 
Whereas on February 3, 2016, the European Parliament ex-
pressed the view that ISIL ‘‘is committing genocide 
against Christians and Yezidis, and other religious and 
ethnic minorities’’; 
Whereas Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s violence against 
the Syrian people has attracted foreign fighters from 
around the world, who have supported and committed 
ISIL atrocities; and 
Whereas according to some estimates, the conflict among all 
parties to the Syrian civil war has killed 470,000 and dis-
placed 11 million people: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That— 
(1) the atrocities perpetrated by ISIL against 
Christians, Yezidis, and other religious and ethnic 
minorities in Iraq and Syria constitute war crimes, 
crimes against humanity, and genocide;
•HCON 75 EH 
(2) all governments, including the United 
States, and international organizations, including 
the United Nations and the Office of the Secretary- 
General, should call ISIL atrocities by their rightful 
names: war crimes, crimes against humanity, and 
genocide; 
(3) the member states of the United Nations 
should coordinate urgently on measures to prevent 
further war crimes, crimes against humanity, and 
genocide in Iraq and Syria, and to punish those re-
sponsible for these ongoing crimes, including by the 
collection and preservation of evidence and, if nec-
essary, the establishment and operation of appro-
priate tribunals; 
(4) the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the 
Lebanese Republic, the Republic of Turkey, and the 
Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq are to be 
commended for, and supported in, their efforts to 
shelter and protect those fleeing the violence of ISIL 
and other combatants until they can safely return to 
their homes in Iraq and Syria; and 
(5) the protracted Syrian civil war and the in-
discriminate violence of the Assad regime have con-

tributed to the growth of ISIL and will continue to 
do so as long as this conflict continues.
