Declare formal support for the idea of Kurdistan as an independent country.

Petition Details

Kurdistan is currently an autonomous region in the north of Iraq, which has sought independent status since the early twentieth century. It is currently independent of Baghdad’s control in all but name, because of the conflict in the surrounding region.

Additional Information

Its peshmerga forces play a key role in protecting the stability of the region and combatting ISIS (Daesh).

A formal declaration of support (in principle) by the UK government would help to make it possible for Kurdistan to move forward with the process of independence, allowing it to be more certain of international recognition post-independence, and helping to offset some of the damaging insistences on a “united Iraq.”
