The U.S. Committee for Ashraf Residents strives to defend the humanitarian and internationally recognized rights of Ashraf residents under the Fourth Geneva Convention and ensure their safety and security.
Who We Are
The U.S. Committee for 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 had lived peaceably in Iraq for decades. The purpose of the Committee is to ensure the safety and security of these Iranian dissidents. Residents of Ashraf are entitled to protection and assistance based on the Fourth Geneva Convention, as well as customary and conventional international law norms.
What We Do
- Monitor the status of Ashraf Residents from a humanitarian and international law aspect;
- Document and report any abuses of the rights of Ashraf Residents; and
- Educate policy makers, international organizations and individuals about the rights and protections Ashraf Residents are entitled to.
