Taxpayers Against Genocide Deliver Complaint to Human Rights Commission

HeadlineMay 15, 2025

On Wednesday, activists with Taxpayers Against Genocide delivered a complaint to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Washington, D.C., calling on the U.S. to follow its obligations to prevent genocide under the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man. Huwaida Arraf is lead attorney on the case.

Huwaida Arraf: “Because when you support genocide, you basically violate every right that’s guaranteed in the American Declaration, which the United States is held to. The first and foremost among them is the right to life.”
