On 14 April 2015, Alkarama and Al Wissam Humanitarian Assembly sent an urgent action to the United Nations Committee of Enforced Disappearance (CED) regarding the disappearance of 29-year-old Yasser AbdelKarim Aswad Al Janabi, abducted by the military in June 2014, as well as a communication to the UN Working Group on Enforced Disappearance (WGEID) regarding the disappearance of his father, AbdelKarim Aswad Khodair Salman Al Janabi,arrested by the Federal Police in 2006. Despite taking various actions with the relevant national institutions regarding Yasser's disappearance over 10 months ago, his family hasn't been able to retrieve any information about him. Worried that both son and father could be tortured during their secret detention, their relatives contacted Alkarama and Al Wissam Humanitarian Assembly to refer their case to the UN human rights protection mechanisms.

On 15 April 2015, Riad Abdel Majeed Al Obeidi was freed after 10 months of detention in the secret facility of the old Muthanna airport in Western Baghdad. Alkarama and Al Wissam Humanitarian Assembly had solicited the urgent intervention of the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED) on Al Obeidi's behalf three months after his abduction, leading to his successful release. As a State party to the 2006 International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances (ICPPED) since 2010, Iraq must respond to the CED's urgent requests for information on the situation of a disappeared person.

On 15 April 2015, Alkarama sent a communication asking the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) to call upon the Iraqi authorities to immediately release 17 people arrested for their real or perceived link with former Vice President Tariq Al Hashimi. Secretly detained and tortured, they have all been accused of acts of "terrorism" and sentenced to death by the Central Criminal Court of Iraq on the basis of their forced confessions.

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.
