Halabja Governorate (Kurdish: پارێزگای ھەڵەبجە, romanized: Parêzgay Helebceyê,[4][5] Arabic: محافظة حلبجة, romanized: Muḥāfaẓat Ḥalabja) is a governorate in the autonomous region of Kurdistan Region in Iraq. The governorate was established in 2014, splitting off from Sulaymaniyah Governorate and becoming the fourth governorate in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.[6][7] Its capital is the city of Halabja. Halabja Governorate is the least populated governorate.
Although officially recognized by Kurdistan Regional Government, the Iraqi government has not officially recognized it due to postponing of the hearing regarding its status multiple times by the Council of Representatives of Iraq, which is the only legislature in Iraq capable of declaring it as such.[8][9][1][10]
