<p>Officials from the Department for International Development (DFID) hold regular
discussions with EU and US aid administrations regarding assisting Yezidi communities.
DFID and Foreign and Commonwealth Office representatives regularly highlight the needs
of minorities at senior levels within the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional
Government. We recently discussed the issue with the Iraqi General Secretary of the
Council of Ministers, who has created a team that is working with UN Development Programme
on this issue. On 2 August the UK's Ambassador to Iraq attended a commemoration of
the fourth anniversary of Daesh atrocities against Yezidis in Sinjar, where he reiterated
the importance of justice, respect and human rights.</p>
