Coalition for Just Reparations

What Coalition for Just Reparations does

Coalition for Just Reparations (C4JR) is an alliance of Iraqi non-governmental organizations founded in 2019 and headquartered in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, with 11-50 employees. Its mission is to secure comprehensive reparations for survivors of atrocity crimes committed during the ISIL conflict in Iraq, including Yazidi, Turkmen, Shabak, Kakai, Christian, Shia, Sunni, and other affected communities. C4JR's primary strategic focus is advocating for the implementation of the Yazidi Survivors Law (YSL), enacted by Iraq's parliament on March 1, 2021, which provides for monthly compensation, rehabilitation, land and housing, educational opportunities, employment quotas, memorialization, and accountability. The organization is governed by member NGOs with equal rights and obligations, including the Jiyan Foundation for Human Rights and the Eyzidi Organization for Documentation.

C4JR operates a multi-language (English, Arabic, Kurdish Sorani, Kurdish Kurmanji) content and advocacy platform anchored by a website, newsletters (reaching Issue 15 as of June 2026), position papers, the annual 'More Than Ink on Paper' assessment report, survivor perspective documentation, ethical engagement toolkits, and documentary multimedia content. The coalition coordinates joint statements with 42+ international human rights organizations and engages with UN bodies such as UNITAD on evidentiary preservation. Its measurable impact includes support to 2,216 survivors who received YSL compensation payments as of January 2026 and 2,496 survivors declared eligible under the law as of February 2026, with 72% of surveyed recipients reporting greater social integration and 79% reporting improved family and community treatment.

C4JR is structured as a non-profit coalition funded initially by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), with the operating model centered on grant/donation funding rather than commercial revenue. There are no disclosed product prices, no commercial customers, and no technology stack. The coalition's go-to-market is advocacy-driven: influencing Iraqi government policy, mobilizing international civil society support, and amplifying survivor voices through media and direct engagement, rather than selling a product or service.
