About Us | Our Mission | Zina Rose Kiryakos | Michael Shallal | Dr. Gerald Bidawid
The Iraqi Christian Human Rights Council (Iraqi Christian HRC) is a U.S. based nonprofit representing Iraqi Christians internationally and entirely founded by the Iraqi Christian community. As natives of Mesopotamia Iraq, the Council members draw from our own experiences and our Chaldean families’ and ancestors’ experiences in Mesopotamia Iraq to bring a wealth of knowledge, skills, and passion in promoting and advancing the rights of Iraqi Christians and other Middle East Christians.

Zina Rose Kiryakos, the President of Iraqi Christian HRC, meets with her fellow Iraqi Christians in Ankawa, Iraq, to document evidence for the Iraqi Christian Genocide Project. Also, Zina regularly meets with the U.S. State Department and other governmental agencies to discuss pending issues for Middle East Christians (here she poses in front of a Lion of Babylon mural at the U.S. State Department).
