About USCCAR
The U.S. Committee for Camp Ashraf Residents (USCCAR) strives to
defend the humanitarian and internationally recognized rights of Camp Ashraf
residents under the Fourth Geneva Convention and ensure their safety and
security.
Who We Are
The U.S. Committee for Camp Ashraf Residents was established in December of
2003 by the U.S. families and relatives of Ashraf residents in response to the decision by the Iraqi Governing Council to expel the
members of the People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK) who have lived peaceably in Iraq for
decades. The purpose of the Committee is to ensure the safety and security
of these Iranian dissidents, whose lives would be in jeopardy where they to be
deported to Iran or forcibly displaced inside Iraq. Residents of Camp Ashraf
are entitled to protection and assistance based on the Fourth Geneva
Convention, as well as customary and conventional international law norms
that forbid the expulsion of civilians to places where they would be in
harm's way.
What We Do
-
Monitor the status of Camp Ashraf Residents from a
humanitarian and international law aspect;

Document and report any abuses in Iraq of the rights of
Camp Ashraf Residents;

regarding the current and future situation of Camp Ashraf Residents.;
and

individuals about the historical causes and probable effects of the
crisis of the Camp Ashraf Residents in Iraq.
