It is the successor of the Hammurabi Coalition expanded by Armenian groups.[2] Most of the members are close to the Kurdistan Democratic Party.
In February 2025, it called for greater autonomy on security for Christian and Yazidi communities in the Nineveh Plain and for an electoral reform for fair representation.[3] In July 2025, the Alliance called the Iraqi government to intervene against the presence of militias in the Nineveh Plains.[4]
