Coalition Forces Clash with Islamic State Fighters

January 20th, 2015 by Samuel Morris

This event raises the questions, what is the role of Coalition ground forces? Will this signal a new chapter in the way that Islamic State is combatted? Will there be a change in policy to international troop deployment?

MERI has been training special police units at the Directorate General of Combating Violence Against Women, on international quality standards and performance management systems.

Over the last six months, MERI has been revising the Law of Combating Domestic Violence in Kurdistan. The amended law is now ready to be passed to Parliament.

In a special report to the Constitution Committee, MERI calls for the protection and enshrining of the cultural, educational, linguistic and religious rights of ethnic and religious minorities in the KRI’s Constitution.
