"Mass Graves Day" may refer to a specific event or commemoration related to the discovery or remembrance of mass graves in Iraq, which has unfortunately experienced significant human rights violations and mass killings in recent history.
Iraq has a tragic history of mass graves resulting from conflicts, genocides, and human rights abuses. During the regime of Saddam Hussein, mass graves containing the remains of thousands of victims were discovered, particularly in the aftermath of the 1991 uprisings and the Anfal campaign against the Kurdish population.
To address these mass grave sites and provide justice to the victims, Iraq established the Mass Graves Directorate (MGD) in 2003. The MGD's mission is to investigate, exhume, identify, and document the victims buried in mass graves, as well as to support legal proceedings and provide support to survivors and their families.
Although there may not be a specific day dedicated to mass graves in Iraq, the country acknowledges the importance of remembering and documenting these atrocities to ensure accountability, justice, and remembrance for the victims.
