Kurdish Human Rights Project (KHRP) The Kurdish Human Rights Project is an independent non-political project founded and based in Britain. The KHRP is a registered charity. It is committed to the protection of the human rights of all persons within the Kurdish areas, irrespective of race, religion, sex, political persuasion or other beliefs or opinion. Its supporters include both Kurdish and non-Kurdish people.
Novib (Netherlands Organisation for International Development Cooperation) Novib strives for sustainable development by supporting initiatives of poor people in the South and by making their voice heard in the North. Novib tries to reach this objective on the basis of three related approaches: by structurally fighting poverty in the South together with its partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America; by providing better information to the Dutch public; and by promoting the interests of the poor in northern decision-making bodies.
This report has been commissioned and is published by KHRP as a contribution to public understanding of the issue which forms its subject. The text and views of the individual author does not necessarily represent, in every detail and in all its aspects, the collective view of KHRP.
