The Yazidi case at the international level is currently facing decreased attention, according to the president of the International Yazidi Organization Against Genocide. On March 1, 2025, Haso Hormi, the president of the International Yazidi Organization for Fighting Genocide (IYFPG), stated in an interview with Sama that the international focus on the Yazidi genocide is diminishing day by day, primarily due to the emergence of stronger cases. However, he emphasized that this does not mean the Yazidis will cease their efforts; rather, it is crucial that their struggle continues to secure the rights of the victims. Additionally, Yazidis need a powerful lobby to exert influence on the international community.
Hormi also highlighted that another factor contributing to the decreased attention is the lack of cooperation from the Iraqi government, which does not officially recognize the Yazidi genocide. Instead, the government uses alternative terminology to describe the atrocities. Furthermore, no courts have been established to hold ISIS terrorists accountable, which he described as a significant oversight by the Iraqi government.
On the morning of August 3, 2014, ISIS terrorists launched an attack on the Sinjar district, committing atrocious crimes against the Yazidi people. To this day, the fate of over 2,000 abducted individuals remains unknown, thousands of displaced Yazidis continue to live in camps, and the Sinjar region remains in ruins.
