Ongoing instability in the region, particularly in Sinjar, has renewed serious concerns about safety and protection for a people who have already survived genocide. The conditions that enabled the atrocities of August 3, 2014, have not been fully resolved, leaving Ezidis vulnerable to renewed threats.

Germany has successfully prosecuted ISIS members for crimes against humanity against Yazidis, including murder, torture, rape, and enslavement. Trials, starting in 2019–2020, relied on Yazidi survivor testimony, police and NGO reports, and expert evidence on Yazidi culture and ISIS structures. Despite challenges such as re-traumatization of witnesses and language barriers, courts deemed the testimony credible, leading to multiple convictions. International cooperation proved essential at every step, highlighting the importance of global accountability mechanisms.

Kurdish Peshmerga disarmed and trapped civilians, cooperated with ISIS fighters, and left Sinjar defenseless in 2014. From the 2007 bombings to the post-genocide occupation, the destruction of the Ezidis was not ISIS alone—it was systematically enabled by those claiming to protect them.
Fires tore through two Ezidi displacement camps near Zakho, destroying dozens of shops and several tents and leaving hundreds of families without their only source of income. More than eleven years after the Ezidi genocide, repeated camp fires once again expose unsafe living conditions, lack of protection, and the continued failure to ensure dignified, voluntary return for displaced Ezidis.
