Letter to Tillerson ISIS Genocide Determination Roll-Back
Please join us in signing a bipartisan letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson regarding
reports that staff in the State Department – specifically within the Office of
the Legal Adviser – have sought to undermine and perhaps roll back the 2016 determination that ISIS is committing genocide against Christians, Yazidis, and others. A roll-back would also contradict unanimously-passed H. Con. Res 75 and S. Res 340,
public statements this year by the President and Vice President, and the Iraq and Syria sections of the State Department’s 2016 annual Human Rights Report.
