A group of civil rights activists, law experts, and lawyers have issued a statement on 21 April, condemning the recent military aggression of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The statement said that by “invading” the region, Turkey violated the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Iraq and committed a “crime of aggression”.
“We call on governments and international bodies, and in particular the United Nations Security Council, as the primary watchdog of international peace and security, to condemn this act of aggression and to take a pragmatic approach to end this widespread and blatant military aggression”, the statement said.
