14.4: Humanitarian Crisis
Prevent Humanitarian Crisis Other Information:
Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that America has both a moral obligation and a responsibility for security that demands
we confront Iraq’s humanitarian crisis -- more than five million Iraqis are refugees or are displaced inside their own country.
Obama and Biden will form an international working group to address this crisis. They will provide at least $2 billion to
expand services to Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries, and ensure that Iraqis inside their own country can find sanctuary.
Obama and Biden will also work with Iraqi authorities and the international community to hold accountable the perpetrators
of potential war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. They will reserve the right to intervene militarily, with
our international partners, to suppress potential genocidal violence within Iraq.
