H.Res. 550 introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives calls on Congress to recognize the Assyrian Genocide. Recognition of genocide goes beyond symbolism. It restores a sense of dignity for the victims and affirms the moral necessity of remembrance—acknowledging the magnitude of the crimes perpetrated. Recognition is a critical step towards future justice processes. It also acknowledges the rights of Assyrians, alongside Armenians and Greeks as co-victims, to seek redress for the crimes perpetrated against them. Official recognition also confirms the historical record and counters efforts to reshape history.
