The Embassy of Iraq in London participated in the Windsor Dialogue 2026, an international conference focused on preserving religious identity and sustaining diaspora communities.
Held at Windsor Castle from 10 to 12 July under the theme “Preserving Faith: Lessons in Sustaining Diaspora Communities,” the event was organised by the AMAR International Charitable Foundation together with the International Center for Law and Religion Studies at Brigham Young University.
The conference brought together parliamentary, religious, academic and diplomatic representatives to discuss how communities living outside their ancestral homelands can preserve their faith, traditions and social structures across generations.
Discussions also addressed Iraq’s experience following years of terrorism and conflict. Among the measures highlighted was the Ezidi Survivors Law, alongside educational reforms and broader efforts concerning religious and social diversity in Iraq.
The Iraqi Embassy was represented by Counsellor Miqdad Al Nouri. Participants also included Sadik Adam Al-Hassan, a Member of the UK House of Commons and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Iraq.
For Ezidis, the question of preserving faith in diaspora carries particular importance. Genocide, displacement and migration have scattered Ezidi families across numerous countries, making the transmission of Şarfadin, Ezdîki and Ezidi cultural traditions to younger generations an increasingly important concern.
