The AUA World Congress has been held in the US, Europe, Australia, Iran and Iraq. The AUA had not been able to hold its World Congress in Iraq, the Assyrian homeland, until 2010 in Erbil as the aspirations of the Assyrian people were in direct conflict with the policies of the ruling Baath regime, which continuously denied Assyrians their national identity and status as the indigenous people of Iraq and persisted in its attempts to Arabize them.
The AUA World Congress has been held in various locations around the world, including the US, Europe, Australia, Iran, and Iraq. The event was only possible in Erbil, Iraq, in 2010 due to conflicts between Assyrian aspirations and the Baath regime's policies of denying Assyrian national identity and attempting to Arabize them.
