ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Embassies, consulates and representations of foreign
countries in the Kurdistan Region remembered the victims of the Halabja chemical
attack on Saturday, the 36th anniversary of the massacre committed by Iraq’s
toppled regime. 

“The US underscores its commitment to stand with the people of the Iraqi
Kurdistan Region, to ensure a secure, democratic & prosperous future,” said the
United States consulate in a statement. 

“Despite the horrors of the past, Halabja remains a symbol of resilience and
resistance against oppression,” the United Kingdom’s consulate said in a post on
X. 

British Ambassador to Iraq Stephen Hitchen told Rudaw that it is vital to
remember all victims of the massacre, adding that it is also “important that we
as the international community as well, remember what happened, take the lessons
from it, and remember the individuals that were lost and not just the effect.”

On March 16, 1988, in the final days of the eight-year-long war between Iran and
Iraq, warplanes of the former regime of dictator Saddam Hussein rained down a
lethal cocktail of chemical weapons on the city of Halabja, killing at least
5,000 people, mostly women and children, and injuring hundreds of others.

The Canadian consular office said “Such crimes have moved #Canada to promote
elimination of chemical weapons [including] through support for the OPCW,”
referring to the intergovernmental Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons. 

The Turkish consulate said the massacre “left a black mark on human history.”

The Czech consulate also joined other foreign missions in paying tribute to the
victims of the tragic event.

“This heinous act of violence and atrocity must never happen again at any places
around the world,” said the South Korean consulate in a post on Facebook. 

Australian Ambassador to Iraq Glenn Miles paid his respects to the victims
through a message he sent to Rudaw. 

“Australia's commitment to the eradication of chemical weapons is founded in the
memory of the many casualties of chemical weapons used in conflicts around the
world,” he noted. 

The Halabja chemical attack, which was recognized as an act of genocide by
Iraq's High Court in 2010, has left a permanent scar in the historical memory of
the Kurdish people. It was part of a wider Anfal genocidal campaign that saw
over 182,000 Kurds killed by the Baathist regime.

"All of us should remember this day, just like we do in Japan on the day of
atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagazaki," said Japan's Ambassador
to Baghdad Futoshi Matsumoto in a video message posted on X.

"This is not just a mourning of the victims of around 5,000 people who perished
on that day, but also in order to renew our shared commitment not to let it
happen again," he added.
