The Kurdish Supreme Committee (Kurdish: Desteya Bilind a Kurd) is a self-proclaimed governing body of Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan), which was founded by the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the Kurdish National Council (KNC), following the signing on 12 July 2012 of a cooperation agreement between the two parties in Hewlêr, Iraqi Kurdistan under the auspice of the Iraqi Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani.[1] The member board consists of an equal number of PYD and KNC members.[2]

The KSC seeks to fill the power vacuum left behind by the retreating Syrian Army in mid-2012 during the Syrian Civil War.[3] It claims self-governance for Rojava, and adopted an interim Constitution for the Rojava Cantons in January 2014. The committee's armed wing consists of the YPG and YPJ
