The Council for Assyrian Research and Development (CARD) is introducing the Assyrian Human Rights Documentation Project, to be launched on October 1st 2005. The objective of the project is to document human rights abuses endured by Assyrians both residing in the Assyrian heartland (northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, western Iran and eastern Syria) and those in the Diaspora. The essence of the project is embedded in and is a direct result of the past and continuous atrocities inflicted upon the Assyrian people. Consequently, CARD members experienced in political advocacy are compiling a database of human rights abuses endured by Assyrians. Detailed accounts will come from throughout the world. The database will be used as a primary-source reference to advocate the Assyrian cause through various governmental and non-governmental institutions, such as the United Nations and respective NGOs. The purpose of the project is twofold. Firstly, it is aimed at familiarizing institutions to further necessitate the protection of Assyrians residing in the Assyrian heartland Secondly, it will also be a tool which will serve to illustrate the current situation of Assyrians residing in this region to enhance national, international, regional and sub-regional advocacy initiatives taken by CARD and other Assyrian and non-Assyrian organizations. The sources and information contained in the database and subsequent reports will remain confidential. CARD will ensure the anonymity of applicants and claimants during the advocacy process as fears of reprisals of Assyrians residing in the Middle East poses a serious threat to personal security and wellbeing. Further information on CARD can be viewed at www.cardonline.org and access to the database will be available as of October 1st 2005 at www.cardonline.org/humanrights. Project directors may be contacted at humanrights@cadonline.org or card.info@cardonline.org. Please assist us in assisting our nation. Council for Assyrian Research and Development P.O.
