Genocide Watch staff have published the twenty-second Timestream in a series of critical genocides in the world.
This Timestream tracks the beginning of ISIS's existence in the early 2000s through current developments in attempts to hold ISIS fighters accountable. ISIS committed all Ten Stages of Genocide at the peak of its strength. This Timestream further examines the global scale on which ISIS recruited fighters and conducted attacks, as well as how the atrocities this terrorist group committed led to a global refugee crisis.
