Kerry declares Islamic State genocide in Iraq and Syria
Washington formally finds Islamic State guilty of genocide against Christians Yazidis and Shiite groups in Iraq and Syria. The declaration, not binding legally, follows long advocacy by lawmakers and rights groups and does not obligate new U.S. action. Kerry says evidence supports acts of genocide and crimes against humanity, while noting prosecutions await independent investigation.
