In 2020, the ministers and high representatives of 34 countries met to launch the Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD), in which they committed to promoting four objectives: improve women’s health, protect human life, strengthen the family as the basic unit of society, and defend the sovereignty of nations concerning their laws and policies to protect life.[1] Iraq was one of the original signatories of the GCD. This report focuses on Iraq’s fulfillment of its commitments to human rights in the context of the four pillars of the GCD.
