Maʻdān Nation of Iraq & Iran

The Maʻdān resolutions describe communities of the southern Mesopotamian marshlands and name several constituent tribes. They connect religious and cultural life with waterways, livelihoods, and customary institutions. The archive holds both a 2020 resolution and a later provisional-government record; their different dates and issuers are retained.

Community and documentary history

Date stated in the primary record: 21 May 2021. This is a documentary date, not independent authentication of signatures or authority.

The linked source records the position of its issuing representatives at the time it was written. Statements about descent, political authority, or territorial rights are attributed to that source; this profile does not independently determine those questions.
