Through our Embassy in Baghdad and Consulate in Erbil, the UK is in regular contact with the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government regarding the rights of religious minorities, including the Yazidis. Responsibility for reconstruction and return lies with the Government of Iraq.

Through diplomatic engagement and programmes such as the British Embassy Baghdad's Building Peace and Stability in Iraq programme, we continue to promote FoRB, support social cohesion and durable solutions for displaced communities, and monitor conditions for the safe, voluntary and dignified return of displaced Yazidis.
