During its 8th session held in February 2015, the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED) adopted the List of Issues in relation to the report submitted by Iraq. The State party is due to provide its answers in writing before its review in September 2015. The list aims at facilitating the preparation of a constructive dialogue between the UN experts and the State party during their consideration of Iraq's initial report.

On 12 January 2015, Alkarama sent a communication to the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) to call upon the Iraqi authorities to put an end to the arbitrary detention of Ahmad Al Alwani, a member of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, by releasing him immediately. Al Alwani was arrested on 28 December 2013, severely tortured and forced to make false confessions, on the basis of which he was sentenced to death by the Central Criminal Court of Iraq (CCCI) in a flawed trial on 23 November 2014. Today, he is still detained in extremely poor and inhumane conditions, pending his request for appeal.

On 19 December 2014 Alkarama – together with the Association of Human Rights Defenders in Iraq (AHRDI), the General Federation of Iraqi Women (GFIW), the Human Rights Division at the Association of Muslims Scholars in Iraq, the Iraqi Commission for Human Rights (ICHR), and the Organisation for Justice & Democracy in Iraq (OJDI) – sent a joint report to the Sub Committee on Accreditation (SCA) of the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (ICC-NHRI) in view of its review of the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights (IHCHR) at its next session on 16-20 March 2015. Calling the IHCHR an "empty box", they call upon the Sub-Committee to give it the "C" status to mark the Iraqi national human rights institution's non-compliance with international human rights standards.

On 17 December 2014, Alkarama provided the Human Rights Committee (HRC) with a list of 22 issues to be raised by the United Nations experts with the Iraqi authorities during their consideration of Iraq's fifth periodic report.
