I haven't seen this posted on this forum yet - the US has recognized that ISIS actions against Assyrians, Yezidis, and Shia Muslims is officially a genocide. I believe it is the first nation to officially classify it as genocide. The UN as an organization was hesitant to label it a genocide earlier last year, so I am wondering if they will follow America's lead now.
