Human rights in Iraq before the conflict 1. The aftermath of conflict in Iraq The situation in Iraq is currently one of great uncertainty. The Iraqi government and governmental agencies have collapsed, but sporadic fighting is continuing. Looting and violence has been widespread, and in some areas people have been forcibly displaced, further adding to the hardship of the Iraqi population. The US and UK forces have yet to restore order and ensure the provision of humanitarian assistance in the areas they control. Beyond immediate concerns, the duration of the military presence of the USA and UK is unknown, prospects for an effective Iraqi transitional authority are unclear and there is disagreement over the role of the UN. The US and UK forces, as occupying powers under international law, have clear obligations to protect the Iraqi population. However, the authority of the occupying powers is transitional and limited to providing protection and assistance to the occupied population in the emergency created by war. They cannot, for example, change the legal system or introduce the radical reforms in the Iraqi criminal justice system needed to ensure respect for human rights. Only a newly established Iraqi government, or a UN transitional administration set up by the Security Council, would have such authority under international law.

26. No Humanitarian Case For Iraq War, Says Rights Group invading iraq either on the grounds of alleged threats from illicit weapons and terrorism, or as a humanitarian mission, an international civil rights group http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0127-03.htm

Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 by the lndependent/UK No Humanitarian Case for Iraq War, Says Rights Group by Kim Sengupta The United States and Britain had no justification for invading Iraq either on the grounds of alleged threats from illicit weapons and terrorism, or as a humanitarian mission, an international civil rights group said yesterday. The failure to find Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction has left President George Bush and Tony Blair claiming that the invasion was on humanitarian grounds, said a hard-hitting annual report of Human Rights Watch . It said that the West had done nothing when Saddam massacred Kurds and Shias in the past, and there was no evidence of any continuing mass killings at the start of the war in March 2003. The report claimed that the US and British occupation forces had "sidelined human rights... as a matter of secondary importance. The rule of law has not arrived and Iraq is still beset by the legacy of human rights abuses of the former government, as well as new ones that have emerged under the occupation." The reasons given for war by Mr Bush and Mr Blair - WMD and Saddam's alleged links with international terrorism - had not been proved, said Kenneth Roth, executive director of the organization. He pointed to recent statements by David Kay, the departing head of the Iraq Survey Group, that WMD were unlikely to be discovered, and said it was unlikely that the Hutton report into the death of David Kelly would say anything different. The document praised the American and British forces for striving to minimize civilian casualties during the air campaign, and also for being much more careful in the use of cluster bombs than in previous conflicts. It condemned the Iraqi resistance for indiscriminately bombing public areas.

Civil Liberties Human Interest Story Lori Tomonari With the U.S. occupation of Iraq in place since the combat ceased, concern about human rights and civil liberties has mounted among some. Members of Amnesty International have come together to inform the public of the civil liberties that it views as being infringed upon in Iraq as well as in other countries. Amnesty International members around the globe write letters to governments in hopes that the content of the letters as well as the sheer volume of mail received will impact the local government. In a speech outside the White House, Bill Schultz of Amnesty International USA said that the war on terror must not be an excuse to deny human rights, Tamburini said. Amnesty International released a report citing the countries where personal freedoms decreased since 9-11; the United States was one of these countries.

Oxfam in the news 12 March 2003 World view from Mary Robinson Mary Robinson, the Honorary President of Oxfam International, is a former President of Ireland and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. She heads up the Ethical Globalisation Initiative. World view: The world is on the brink of war. The United States and a coalition "of the willing" are becoming convinced that only military action can fully disarm Saddam Hussein. At the same time, international public opinion survey results clearly indicate that more than half the world's people are not in favour of military action against Iraq under present circumstances, writes Mary Robinson. How has the United States lost so much of the worldwide support and sympathy which were manifest in the months following the terrible attacks of 9/11? The answer, I believe, lies in people's concerns at the shift in US policy from giving priority to tracking down al-Qaeda and preventing acts of terrorism to gearing up for a war on Iraq.

Amnesty International UK SECTION AGM DECISIONS Working Party A - Mandate and Strategy This AGM: Noting that AI recognises that international humanitarian organisations have provided evidence that the physical integrity of Iraqi civilians is being threatened at last partially as a result of the UN sanctions, blockades and embargoes imposed on that country, with the continuing effect of causing thousands of excess deaths every month, totally hundreds of thousands since 1990 (AI index: MDE 14/010/1999); Noting that AI’s policy on this matter permits it to "express its concern" and mention the recommendations of other organisations, but falls short of letting AI make specific judgements or issue its OWN recommendations for action in any given case; that is, AI still officially takes "no position" whether or not civil rights are violated by specific sanctions, blockades and embargoes; Noting that AI could oppose human rights abuses that arise from sanctions, blockades and embargoes but continue to take "no position" on sanctions, blockades and embargoes in general; Decides that AI should campaign urgently on the issue of human rights abuses arising from particular sanctions, blockades and embargo regimes where there is sufficient evidence from internationally recognised organisations.

This law poses an unprecedented threat to Americans' individual freedoms and is a violation of our civil liberties. Many provisions of the act had been long sought after by law enforcement and repeatedly rejected by Congress in the past. Without a warrant or probable cause, the FBI can now search your private medical records or access your library records. Your doctor or local library is forbidden from notifying you when these searches take place. The government may search your home while you are away and in some cases even confiscate your property. Judicial oversight of these measures is virtually nonexistent. These are only a few of the PATRIOT Act's provisions that compromise our civil liberties. I believe that the only way to stop these unconstitutional infringements on basic American freedoms is to revoke the exorbitant powers the PATRIOT Act has granted the government. I am the only presidential candidate who voted against the PATRIOT Act. As president, one of my first moves would be to repeal it.

PUBLICATIONS Equal Rights Still a Stretch in Iraq by M.E. Sprengelmeyer, Rocky Mountain News December 26, 2003 It can be a lonely struggle when you're just one of three women on Iraq's new governing council. Some men avert their eyes when you talk. The leaders ignore your reports. They wait until you're away, then rush through important votes. And they dismiss your indignant protests - if they listen at all. Dr. Raja Khuzai is learning these things on the job, but the 57-year-old mother of seven says she has survived tougher, more solitary battles. She flashes back to just before the first Persian Gulf War. As an obstetrician, she was installed in 1990 as the first female hospital director in Iraq, taking over a maternity hospital in Diwaniya. It wasn't long before the town was under siege.

Campaign against UNHCR's Violations of Refugees Rights in Turkey The International Federation of Iranian Refugees and the International Federation of Iraqi Refugees are beginning a joint international campaign against the inhuman situation and rightlessness of refugees and refugee claimants in Turkey on February 28, 2002. This protest campaign is primarily against the UN High Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) treatment and performance vis-à-vis thousands of refugees and claimants in Turkey. Currently, thousands of refugees and refugee claimants primarily from Iran and Iraq are living in intolerable circumstances. The process of determining refugee status takes months and sometimes years. Those refused by the UNHCR are not even given reasons for their rejection and are thus deprived of the right to properly defend themselves. In all internationally recognised procedures, refugee and asylum claimants have the right to information on the reasons of rejection as a basic civil right. In the UNHCR procedure, refugee claimants have only one right to appeal, and are often not even interviewed a second instance before their case files are closed, leaving them at imminent risk of deportation back to persecution. Refugees are often humiliated by UNHCR legal officers, translators and guards.

Important Articles in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Article 1 All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic co-operation, based upon the principle of mutual benefit, and international law. In no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence. The States Parties to the present Covenant, including those having responsibility for the administration of Non-Self-Governing and Trust Territories, shall promote the realization of the right of self-determination, and shall respect that right, in conformity with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations. Article 2 Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to respect and to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the present Covenant, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Where not already provided for by existing legislative or other measures, each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to take the necessary steps, in accordance with its constitutional processes and with the provisions of the present Covenant, to adopt such laws or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to the rights recognized in the present Covenant.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Islam, Democracy, and Human Rights in Iraq By Kamran Memon Yellow Times June 10, 2003 By Kamran MemonYellowTimes.org Guest Columnist (United States) 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.).

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Iraq and the Corruption of Human Rights Discourse By Abdullah Mutawi Middle East International (London) February 11, 2000 When Western Human rights groups demand the indictment of Iraqi officials but ignore the genocidal effect of the West's own actions and policies, they effectively draw a distinction between those who can be accused and those who can do the accusing which makes a mockery of universal principles, argues Abdullah Mutawi. At a time when an International Criminal Court has been established and war crimes tribunals have been set up to pursue charges of genocide and crimes against humanity with respect to Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, the case of Iraq merits some mention. In one of its only public pronouncements on the issue of Iraq and sanctions, Human Rights Watch last month called for the creation of an international criminal tribunal to try Iraqi officials for, amongst other things, crimes against humanity and war crimes. In an audacious display of selective legal reasoning, the US based human rights organization also accused Iraq of failing to comply with its obligations under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. That such an unashamed report should be published now, nearly a decade after the imposition of sanctions, is not a matter of coincidence. The United States, aware that that public opinion is increasingly uncomfortable with the results of its policy towards Iraq, has started to resort to ever more defensive arguments for maintaining sanctions. Most international lawyers would assert that the UN itself has obligations under international law (including human rights and humanitarian law). Article 24(2) of the UN Charter is very clear and unambiguous that Security Council decisions to take action such as imposing sanctions must be in conformity with international law. Yet one of the leading human rights groups in the West appears to have started to tow a spurious line of argument, one which serves US foreign policy interests.
