text: gross violations of human rights, including acts of genocide, in Iraq. In particular, it had drawn attention to the use of chemical weapons against Kurdish combatants and civilians and noted that Iraq had denied using chemical weapons but had refused unrestricted access by United Nations observers and others to investigate the allegations. MRG had further stated that if action was not taken against Iraq it would continue to use chemical or biological weapons and threaten peace and security. Since then, other independent sources had corroborated MRG's research. The Iraqi Government's response to E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/SR.l6 page 5 the Commission and Sub-Commission had been discredited and evidence of further abuses had come to light. Kurdish communities within Iraq had been forcibly relocated on a massive scale, and those who had resisted had suffered total annihilation. Schools, mosques and hospitals had been systematically destroyed. It was conservatively estimated that over 700,000 Kurds were currently living in resettlement camps in utterly barbaric conditions. Dozens of children had died in the past few months alone. Reports continued to be received of individuals being arrested and executed without trial or simply disappearing after returning to Iraq under the various official amnesties. MRG had figures establishing a total of 7,522 Kurds who had been arrested, executed or had disappeared in that manner since 1988. 14. In view of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and the Iraqi Government's justification of it, it should come as no surprise that a State that could commit acts of genocide against its own minority might have no regard for the rights of people of neighbouring States. The world community should have stood up and been counted in 1989. With the new evidence and the confirmed research, MRG recommended that a special rapporteur should be appointed for Iraq to monitor the current situation with a view to inhibiting further abuses 
analysis: The text primarily focuses on the human rights violations and atrocities committed by the Iraqi government against its own minority, the Kurds. It highlights the use of chemical weapons, mass killings, forced relocation, and destruction of infrastructure. The text also mentions the international community's failure to take action to prevent these abuses. Given the focus on human rights violations and international relations, it is likely that the text falls under the categories related to human rights and international relations.
