ABSTRACT: This article delves into the accountability of ISIS for the atrocities inflicted upon the .z.d.s following the initiation of a military offensive in the Şingal region on August 3rd, 2014. It draws upon desk research pertaining to these crimes and scrutinizes the accusations leveled against ISIS within the framework of the Genocide Convention. Therefore, the aim of this article is not to re-evaluate the legal principles constituting the essential elements of genocide, but rather to employ them as a lens for analysis. The conclusion drawn from this examination is that the actions perpetrated constitute genocide.
