Al-Anfal Campaign happened on 1988-09-06.

"Anfal" is an Arabic term that means "spoils of war" or "booty." It is commonly associated with the Anfal genocide, a campaign of mass murder and displacement carried out by the Iraqi government against the Kurdish population in the late 1980s.

It depends on which one. Most people use the term "Iraq genocide" to apply exclusively to the al-Anfal Campaign which was responsible for the cruel murder of 184,000 Kurds.

The Anfal Campaign was the name assigned by Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq, for his genocidal attack on a number of Kurdish tribes in northern Iraq (southern Kurdistan), wherein over 180,000 Kurds were gassed to death.

Partially. The first major trial against Saddam Hussein was only focused on one particularly large attack perpetrated against Shiite Muslims in the southeast of the country (the Dujail Massacre).

As for the Al-Anfal Campaign (which is the "polite" term for the Genocide of Iraqi Kurds), in December 2006 Saddam was put on trial for the genocide during Operation Anfal. The trial for the Anfal campaign was still underway on December 30, 2006, when Saddam Hussein was executed for his role in the unrelated Dujail Massacre.

The Anfal trial recessed on December 21, 2006, and when it resumed on January 8, 2007, the remaining charges against Saddam Hussein were dropped since he was now dead. Six co-defendants continued to stand trial for their roles in the Anfal campaign. On 23 June 2007 Ali Hassan al-Majid, and two co-defendants Sultan Hashem Ahmed and Hussein Rashid Mohammed were convicted of genocide and related charges and sentenced to death by hanging. Another two co-defendants (Farhan Jubouri and Saber Abdel Aziz al-Douri) were sentenced to life imprisonment, and one (Taher Tawfiq al-Ani) was acquitted on prosecution's demand.

Al-Majid was eventually hanged on 25 January 2010.
