And about our work, the systematic and continuous administration of various programs and festivals, conferences and courses to cultural and intellectual control of that phenomenon and a culture of tolerance and respect for minorities and ethnic groups and communities, the Foundation with the cooperation and participation of various nationalities from all over the world, provides various forms of support to all international organizations working in the fields of culture, humanity and service, this institution is one of the components of Iraqi society in times of crises and difficult circumstances has provided significant humanitarian support to the Christians and Muslims, Arabs and Kurds and all minorities, without discrimination and is working hard to bring the views and support mechanisms for cooperation among all components of Iraqi society. And to offer to you the summary of this picture, we call upon the international community and the Iraqi government to do justice to the victims of racial discrimination in Iraq, and to compensate the families of the victims and to protect them from displacement and loss, and develop programs to reduce this phenomenon and to stand firmly against the promoters with a view to eliminate them once and save the Iraqi society.. ..
