Iraq asylum claims engage sectarian persecution, former Ba'ath party association, LGBTQ+ targeting, Yazidi and Christian minority persecution, and those associated with Western military or contractor operations. Regional variation between Baghdad, Kurdistan, and southern governorates is critical to risk assessment.
Independent experts assess profile-specific risk with dated primary sources addressing current security conditions, militia activity, and state protection capacity. Internal relocation to Kurdistan is frequently contested but viability depends on the appellant's specific profile and ethnic/religious background.
