The Halabja Monument commemorates one of the worst atrocities of the Sadam Hussein era, a gas attack in March 1988 resulting in 5000 deaths. The monument is maintained mostly by survivors and family of the victims, and is used to display documents, pictures and films.

The initiative for this monument came from President Jalal Talabani and it was supervised by Prime Minister Dr. Barham Salih of the Kurdistan Regional Government to see its opening on 15 September 2003.

The vision of the Halabja Monument is to eliminate weapons of mass destruction. Their mission is to work for peace, for the rehabilitation of the survivors and defending the rights of the families of the victims.
