    Extractions: Iraqi workers find themselves in exceptionally difficult circumstances. On top of the war, bombing and carnage, the massive unemployment and months of unpaid wages have brought them much hardship and distress. Their protests for jobs, unemployment benefit and basic rights have come under attack by the US forces. After 35 years of repression under the Baathist regime, they are faced with new repression and new repressors. The Union of the Unemployed in Iraq is one of the first attempts of Iraqi workers to organise themselves to defend their rights and livelihood. With over 100,000 members, it is a strong voice for welfare and freedom in Iraq today. For the past six months, it has been waging a vigorous fight for jobs and unemployment benefit for the millions of Iraqis made unemployed as a result of the war. It deserves the wholehearted support of the international labour movement. The USA is the natural ally of the upstart bourgeois and reactionaries in Iraq. Their representatives have already taken their seats on the handpicked Iraqi Governing Council - an oppressive and reactionary assembly of religious mafia, political charlatans, despots and misogynists, ethnic and tribal chiefs and criminal bandits.

Leila Zerrougui, chairwoman of the U.N. Commission on Human Right's Working Group of Arbitrary Detention, expressed her "serious concern regarding the uncertainty of the legal status of many detainees currently subjected to interrogation in Iraq." Noting reports of torture of people in detention by U.S. and British military officers, she urged the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority and the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council "to allow the clarification of the legal status of each detainee and apply the rules and norms enshrined" in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights. Zerrougui was "seriously disturbed by the fact that these persons have not been granted access to a court to be able to challenge the lawfulness of their detention, as required" by the covenant.

    Extractions: Tue Feb 11 16:16:43 EST 2003 I personally don't beleive in international law and feel the prospects for such are dim. It's a bit too much to get into here, but suffice it to say that at this point in our evolution we aren't ready. This is evidenced every day by the actions of our government and the actions of most governments around the world. Perhaps one day. What gets me is how willing our government and many of our citizens seem to be to scrap procedure and civil rights in the face of terrorism. You mentioned our criminal justice system and I will point out that the Bush administration and many citizens alike don't feel that normal criminal justice rights or procedures should apply. When they are willing to do that, I'm not sure I can trust anything else about them.

    Extractions: YellowTimes.org ) – Two powerful forces are at work in Iraq. How they are handled will determine whether they blend harmoniously or collide in conflict. One powerful force is many Iraqis' desire for democracy following decades of dictatorship. There appears to be a consensus among Iraqi and American leaders that Iraq should become a democracy. But it's not clear that both sides define democracy the same way. While the Iraqis, emerging from dictatorial rule, may understand democracy to mean primarily the ability to select leaders who would be accountable to the people, Americans undoubtedly understand democracy also to mean protection of civil rights (rights of women, ethnic minorities, and religious minorities). The second powerful force is many Iraqis' desire for an Islamic state following decades of secular rule when religion was stifled. The vast majority of Iraqis are Muslim, and thousands of Shias and Sunnis have been in the streets calling for the establishment of a religious state. They view the U.S.-led war as a war of liberation from Saddam, not liberation from Islam. Religious leaders are the only established, indigenous authorities in Iraq today; in fact, U.S. invasion/occupation troops have been relying on those religious leaders to help re-establish law, order, and public services (trash collection, electricity, public transportation, etc.).

The FAQ is based primarily on the 1907 Hague Convention (IV) Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, and customary international humanitarian law.

IRAQ AI INDEX: MDE 14/080/2003 14 April 2003 Iraq Ensuring justice for human rights abuses Those responsible for crimes under international law and other grave human rights abuses in Iraq must be brought to justice. To ensure that this goal is achieved, a comprehensive anti-impunity program needs to be developed. Its central pillar would be reforming the Iraqi criminal justice system. However, other complementary and transitional approaches will be needed, including approaches involving the international community. Currently a number of proposals for bringing to justice perpetrators of human rights abuses in Iraq are being discussed. They reportedly include proposals for military tribunals or military commissions set up by the United States of America (USA). While under international humanitarian law the USA, as one of the occupying powers in Iraq, would be entitled within narrowly circumscribed limits to set up US courts in Iraq, there are a number of considerations that would make this approach undesirable. Military tribunals should not be used to try civilians or to try soldiers accused of crimes under international law. Additional concerns include the fact that even if tribunals which have important fair trial guarantees are used, such as US courts martial, they will inevitably be perceived as victor's justice. Other mechanisms, such as military commissions modelled on those established after the attacks in the USA of 11 September 2001, are administrative bodies, not courts, and their procedures are grossly unfair. In either case, defendants would be exposed to the death penalty.

    Extractions: "Gregory Fossedal has written a thoughtful study on a country that does democracy in a very distinctive way than the U.S., and I would say, perhaps a better way," Smith said. "In the United States, we like to think we are ahead of everybody in the world, that we have the most perfect system possible but if you look at things like Enron and the corporate greed dominating our Congress, or all the shenanigans in places like Florida in the presidential election, it's clear that we need to make some improvements of our own system. I want to talk about that tonight about your very optimistic and uplifting concept that we can continue to improve and perfect democracy right here at home." "It's no stain on the United States to say that our democracy, though an excellent and improving system, isn't the ultimate, unimprovable way to do things," Fossedal agreed. "In fact, my guess is, we would project a little better image in the world, and also benefit ourselves at home, if we had a little humility and said, maybe we can give our system an upgrade, and maybe there are other countries we could learn something from. I went to Switzerland to study their system for that reason, and came away with a heightened respect for the Swiss system and the Swiss citizen it has produced."
