- General Union of Students in Iraqi Republic
The General Union of Students in Iraqi Republic (GUSIR) is an Iraqi democratic organization that fights for students vocational and academic rights, and to create and maintain a developed social and scientific living environment. Its goal is to be unified and patriotic in nature, allowing all Iraqi students to be members regardless of their political, national, or religious origins. The Union was founded on 14 April, 1948 at public conference when students from Iraqi colleges, institutions, and secondary schools participated in the nationwide democratic election. Presently, the Union has branches in more than seven Arab and European countries.
The GUSIR is composed of different governorates of the country, as well as the general union of Kurdish students. The Union received membership into the International Union of Students (IUS) in 1950 and takes part in all of its activities. From 1961-1971 a GUSIR representative held the position of general secretariat within the IUS. In 1960, they hosted the sixth conference of the IUS in Baghdad.
