Democracy and security in Iraq

The BRussells Tribunal exposes the recent legislative elections in Iraq under foreign occupation for what they are: US-scripted drama. The cumulative results of draconian sanctions (1990-2003) and invasion and occupation (2003-2010) destroyed the Iraqi state and replaced it with corruption, terror and falsification. Nonetheless, the political machinations of the occupation will fail, because it is a failed project.

THE DRAMA OF IRAQI ELECTIONS

By giving rein to its local feudal allies, the United States is pushing Iraq towards civil collapse and the potential of a regional war that could force its planned partition

The staged dramatisation of the Iraqi elections, by considering them a decisive moment for the future of Iraq, is an American propaganda plan against the Iraqi resistance and the anti-occupation forces who don’t participate in presenting candidates in these elections. The Obama administration, in committing itself — for financial and military reasons — to its plan of withdrawal and the handing back of Iraq to its people, was faced by the reality that the Iraqi people in the days and months before the electoral process began developed a mood of disbelief in the political process, as shown by their weak voter registration.

The political process produced a tragic situation for Iraqis: generalised corruption in which ministers, deputies and governmental institutions participated without sanction; tens of thousands of prisoners tortured, raped, sentenced without fair trials; five million refugees without any rights or protection, or even being recognised as refugees by the government; the generalised abuse of human rights; the absence of elementary services like water purification, electricity, or a sewage system; unemployment reaching up to 50 per cent of the population coupled with the absence of decent means of income; no access to health or education; the loss of rights as workers or civil servants in the state; the continuous fear of dying, being arrested, kidnapped or displaced, among other fears. Throughout the four years of this government and parliament no law was written or decision taken to assure the people of Iraq that the future of the political process would be any different.

If the Obama administration needs to save what it can of the legitimacy of the political process before the eyes of the American people by staging elections, its own local allies saw them as a danger, as they would lose power. The proof is the fact that none of the forces allied to the US wanted to allow the refugees — which they forcefully displaced — to be allowed to participate in the elections. Among other proofs is their decision to delay the electoral law, regulating the elections, until the last minute in order to dramatise the elections. It is the US who pressured its allies in the current parliament to allow the refugees to participate in the vote while at the same time ensuring this vote, by different means, is unworkable.

During seven years of occupation the US repeatedly used this pattern of politics, consisting of pushing for or remaining silent in front of attacks conducted by its allies against the Iraqi resistance, its supporters or alleged supporters, while at the same time criticising by words — but not deeds — these same attacks in order to win the hearts of their victims, trying to make them believe that the US will protect them against its allies. The US is again using this pattern during these elections. While the US has done nothing against the relentless sequence of mass arrests, deportations, executions, assassinations, accusations, intimidations, falsifications, and general illegal acts carried out by its allies, it declares from time to time that the elections should be transparent.

These elections are falsified in advance. The falsification of elections does not necessarily happen on the day of the elections itself. When there are no reliable records of voters, whether inside or outside Iraq, when there is terror against opponents and minorities, when there are no just procedures and rules concerning political entities, their financial mechanisms, their electoral campaigns and regulating the equal rights of rival candidates, when the government can use the whole state apparatus and institutions against its own rivals, it is evident that the elections will be fake and will not reflect the real will of the Iraqi people.

Many governments, international institutions and associations declared that they want that the elections be free, fair and transparent. These good intentions if not followed by acts on the ground will be considered a silent endorsement of the falsified results. We remember that UN Security Council Resolution 1483 stipulated the obligations of the occupying forces, but the UN remained silent thereafter in front of the occupation’s violations of these same obligations, thereby giving the US the liberty to do whatever it wants in Iraq as if it was legal. In this context, it is evident that the next parliament will again be a US product composed of US allies with different faces, and not real Iraqi representatives.

The Iraqi resistance and the anti-occupation forces, the first political force in Iraq, are aware of the use of this repeated pattern of US policy. Therefore they cannot and will not consider these elections as legitimate or democratic. The antithesis between the occupation and the resistance and anti-occupation forces will be immediately revived after the elections, as the primary conflict in Iraqi politics. The resistance and anti-occupation forces are opposed to the SOFA, to the oil contracts, to the division of Iraq and the destruction of this Arab and Muslim identity, and the fascist religious regime that Iran — ally of the US in Iraq — wants to establish, and stand against all the results of the occupation and its illegal political process. They have the support of the Iraqi people, which will not be represented and reflected in these elections.

These forces know that the tactics employed in the elections are used by the occupation to divide them on the question of whether or not they will participate in the elections. For this reason, as is understood from their literature and position, they will not try to prevent their supporters from casting their votes in support of this or that candidate that they consider less awful than another, or if he or she defends their immediate and local preoccupations, as will happen in many provinces, especially in Kirkuk, Mosul and Baghdad. Thereby, they let the people realise by their own experience that these elections will change nothing in their lives. Assuring the liberty to vote for their supporters will prevent the occupation from using these elections as a way to isolate the Iraqi resistance from the Iraqi people. On the contrary, the falsification of the elections and the hypocritical pattern used by the US will push some forces that believed in the political process to quit it and join the anti-occupation movement.

These tactics, which became a repeated pattern used by the US, remind us of those used — “the surge” — during the sectarian killings of 2006-2007. These sectarian killings were practiced under the eyes of, amid the silence of, and some say with the active participation of, the occupation. Only when the killings produced their desired effects — hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of refugees — did the US pretend to protect the victims by imprisoning the regions they inhabit by walls in order to control them. They punished no one for the killings; neither did they do anything to facilitate the return of the refugees. The same is happening in the context of these elections. While the US pretends it wants transparent elections, the arrests, the displacement, the generalised abuse of human rights of individuals and communities, the falsifications, the executions, the banning of candidates, goes on unabated on the ground, with no real acts to stop them.

This time the US is playing with fire. Its tactics heighten the divisions amongst local US allies, whose victims are the Iraqi people. They potentially lead, in the aftermath of the elections, not only to internal civil strife but also to a regional war. The political process has failed and no one wants to repeat it for another four bloody years. The essence of the US and its allies’ project during seven terror-filled years is the partition of Iraq. Its continuation in whatever form will lead to a civil war. Is the US using the elections and the heightening of conflicts as an opportunity to impose Biden’s project of partition as a fait accompli? If the US, through the elections, negotiates the future of Iraq and the extent of this partition only with Iran and the Kurdish leaders, its principal allies, other Iraqi political forces will not bear that the Iraqi people be victims of these machinations and will reinforce their military, political and civil resistance.

One of the dangers of heightening existing conflicts during the elections is that the US’s allies, the pro-Iranian and the Kurdish leaders, did not and will not accept transparent elections to realise their project. They use and will use again force — with or without US aid — to impose their plan on the Iraqi people. Their plan is not only a danger for Iraq and its people but also for Iraq’s neighbouring countries. Any renewed civil strife would involve a regional war. Is the US, in spite of all its propaganda effort, attempting to revive its failed project of the New Middle East through a regional war? It is time to realise that the only way to have peace, stability and democracy in Iraq is an unconditional withdrawal of all US forces, the establishment of a transitional government supported by the resistance, and to organise a free, fair, transparent and democratic election to hand Iraq back to its people. Without a rupture with the political process and its groups, Iraq will sink more and more into tragedy.

The BRussells Tribunal is an international network of intellectuals, artists and activists, who denounce the logic of permanent war promoted by the American government and its allies, affecting for the time being particularly one region in the world: the Middle East. It started with a people’s court against the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) and its role in the illegal invasion of Iraq, but continued ever since. It tries to be a bridge between the intellectual resistance in the Arab World and the Western peace movements.

Violations of Iraqi Children Rights

Under the American  Occupation

Dr. Souad Naji Al-Azzawi is a former Vice-President of Mamoun University of Scientific Affaires; former professor of environmental engineering at Baghdad Univ., recipient of the 2003 Nuclear-Free Future Award for her work on environmental contamination after the Gulf War in Iraq.

 I pride myself in being a scientist and a researcher. I built my academic career on theories and numbers. As a teacher, I teach my students that everything is based in science – everything has a  reason. That is why, I am always frustrated with myself when I find I am overwhelmed with feelings on specific topics.

One such topic is the occupation of my country, Iraq. On this subject I find that I cannot always be dispassionate. I cannot be the researcher and observer and discuss it without feelings or emotions as I am sometimes expected to do. I find myself doing research on the damages caused by the war and occupation, and my head buzzes with anger, my eyes burn with tears of desperation at the state of my country.  

I decided, I would view it as a scientist. I would not attack the subject with emotion. I would let the numbers speak for themselves. This year I will sit back and play the part of the analyst- the researcher- on the topic that is closest to my heart.

We will show that the American occupation violated children’s rights on all levels, including health care, education, social security, family unity and non separation of children from their parents through detention, imprisonment and exile

For two decades, Iraqi children, along with all other elements of Iraqi society, have been subjected to grave violations of human rights.

The American occupation forces, and the occupation-assigned Iraqi government, grossly failed to fulfill their most basic duties towards the children of Iraq in accordance with the UN/CRC Convention on the Rights of the Child, Resolution 25/ Session 44, November 1989. The convention was ratified by 194 United Nations countries, except the USA and Somalia.

Principals of the CRC emphasized the need to protect children’s rights’ to life and physical, mental, moral, and spiritual development in a safe environment.

Numerous violations of Iraqi children’s rights have systematically and continuously been committed under the American occupation of Iraq.

We will show that the American occupation violated children’s rights on all levels, including health care, education, social security, family unity and the non separation of children from their parents through detention, imprisonment and exile.

1.Iraqi Children under the Economic Sanctions (1990-2003)

During the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq, the country was denied the right to import equipment, medicine, educational items, health care requirements, etc. The economic sanctions were imposed by US/UK administrations and enforced by UN resolution 661 in 1990. The sanctions committee in the UN was dominated by the USA and UK, who insisted on blocking most essentials related to human rights

2.Status of Iraqi Children under the Anglo-American Occupation of Iraq

Thirteen years of suffering and the death of more than half a million children under five as a result of economic sanctions ended with the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. Iraqi people, and children have had to face the excessive use of power, shock and awe techniques, raids, the destruction of infrastructure, burning and looting of the civil services and cultural centers of Iraq, damage to health care centers and hospitals, and sectarian killing staged by occupation intelligence. Numerous violations of Iraqi children’s rights have continuously and systematically been committed under the Anglo- American occupation of Iraq.

■ Direct killing during the military invasion operations where civilians were targeted directly. Additional casualties amongst children have resulted from unexploded ordinances along military engagement routes.

■ The direct killing and abuse of children during American troop raids on civilian areas like Fallujah, Haditha, Mahmodia, Telafer, Anbar, Mosul, and most of the other Iraqi cities[17]. The Massacre of the children in Haditha in 2005 is a good example of "collateral damage" among civilians.

■ Daily car bombs casualties, explosion of buildings and other terrorist attacks on civilians.

■ Detention and torture of Iraqi children in American and Iraqi governmental prisons. While in detention, the children are being brutalized, raped, and tortured. American guards videotaped these brutal crimes in Abu Graib and other prisons.

■ Poverty due to economic collapse and corruption caused acute malnutrition among Iraqi children. As was reported by Oxfam in July 2007, up to eight million Iraqis required immediate emergency aid, with nearly half the population living in "absolute poverty".

■ Starving whole cities as collective punishment by blocking the delivery of food, aid, and sustenance before raiding them increased the suffering of the young children and added more casualties among them.

■ Microbial pollution and lack of sanitation including drinking water shortages for up to 70% of the population caused the death of "one in eight Iraqi children" before their fifth birthday. Death of young children in Iraq has been attributed to water borne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis, etc .

■ Contaminating and exposing other heavily populated cities to chemically toxic and radioactive ammunitions. Weapons like cluster bombs, Napalm, white phosphorous, and Depleted Uranium all caused drastic increases of cancer incidences, deformations in children, multiple malignancies and child leukemia. Children in areas like Basrah, Baghdad, Nasriya, Samawa, Fallujah, Dewania and other cities have been having multifold increases of such diseases. Over 24% of all children born in Fallujah in October 2009 had birth defects.The Minister of Environment in Iraq called upon the international community to help Iraqi authorities in facing the huge increase of cancer cases in Iraq.

■ The deterioration of the health care system and the intentional assassination of medical doctors have resulted in an increased number of casualties amongst children. It has been estimated that the mortality rate amongst the population of Iraq reached 650,000 from 2003 to 2006. Another survey indicated that the total number of dead for the period of 2003-2007 is about one million. Among other cases, the failures of the health care system were specified as one of the major causes.

■ Damage to the educational system. By 2004, it was estimated that two out of every three Iraqi children were dropping out of school. Statistics released by the Ministry of Education in October 2006 indicated that only 30% of the 3.5 million students were actually attending schools. Prior to the US invasion, UNESCO indicated that school attendance was nearly 100%. Assassination of educators and academics in Iraq drove their colleagues to leave the country. This brain drain and the intended destruction of schools and the educational system is part of the well planned cultural cleansing of the Iraqi society and identity.

■ Total collapse of Iraq's economy, the sectarian violence, American troop raids on civilians, the killing of a dear family member have all deprived the children in Iraq of an innocent, carefree childhood that is the right of any child. They have to deal with family breakdowns, poverty, and a complete and total lack of security. Iraqi children are being forced to assume income generating roles because their families are suffering from hunger and poverty. They are leaving schools and having to deal with adult problems such as unemployment, manual labor, etc. This situation exposes them to hardship, and many forms of abuse. Exposure to violence on a daily basis has affected their psychological development and behavior as well.

■ The drastic increase in the number of orphans in Iraq. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs estimated the number of Iraqi orphans to be around 4.5 million. Other estimates put them at around 5 million. About 500,000 of those orphans live on the streets without any home or family or specialized institutions to take care of them. Among these orphans, 700 are in Iraqi prisons and another 100 in American prisons.

■ The problems of families who were forced to migrate and the impact on their children. Since the invasion of Iraq, there have been about 2.2 million internally displaced people who were forced to migrate due to sectarian violence, American violence, etc. Well over two million other Iraqis were driven out of Iraq. On November 20, 2007 UNESCO reports indicated that the number of Iraqi children taking refuge in Syria alone was around 300,000. The problems of children who have been forced to migrate represent a real humanitarian crisis where a large number of families have no shelter, no finances, no health care, no education, and no security of any kind.

 3.Deterioration of Living Conditions of Displaced Iraqi Children

This case study was conducted by the author with the help of the Iraqi Women Will body (IWW), an Iraqi NGO fighting for Iraqi women’s rights inside and outside of Iraq.

In October 2009, around 300 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to Iraqi families within the Yarmouk refugee area of Damascus, Syria. The researchers visited these families to ensure the accuracy of the answers and to conduct personal interviews.

SEVEN YEARS OF SILENCE

A message to the Americans

Nihal Fahad,

IT Engineer, Baghdad, Iraq

Your  silence is louder than your bombsٍ

It fills the void left by  heartlessness

It expands and falls thickly on indignant masses

And smothers angst, outrage, and sorrow

Your silence is louder than your bombs-

It dictates an unholy cowardice,

It thrives on decay and lifelessness,

Ugly, sad, and sallow…

Your silence is more deadly than your guns

Insinuating your carelessness

Gray, cold, and hollow.

Your silence is thicker than the blood

That spills and colors holy ground

As we watch- we listen- for the sound

Of indignation that will never come

Your silence deafens,  chills, and numbs

Louder than battle cries, and  war drums…

It resounds  with the impotence of the dumb,

Death and destruction will surely follow…

So call them home- call home your men-

Neither saviors, nor heroes, nor allies, nor friends

The mercenaries of a means to an end,

Let us heal, let us live... leave tomorrow.



FIRST INTERNATIONAL AND UNITED MEETING OF THE ANTI-OCCUPATION FIELD

 

International Conference of the Iraqi Political Resistance:

Gijón (Spain), June 18-20, 2010 

 

Spanish Campaign against the Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq (CEOSI) 

The Spanish Campaign against the Occupation and for the Sovereignty of Iraq (CEOSI) will hold its first international, public and united meeting of the main currents in the Iraqi resistance, those who to their project for the full recovery of Iraq’s sovereignty add an integrated, democratic and non-sectarian reconstruction of its institutions. This meeting, which aims to encourage the convergence process of the anti-occupation field and promote their openness to the international community, will take place in Gijón, Asturias, Spain, June 18-20, 2010, under the title: International Conference of the Iraqi Political Resistance. This initiative will coincide with the beginning of the eight year of the occupation of Iraq and will be held while Spain holds the presidency of the EU.

The forgotten news from Iraq does not mean that the situation has improved, or that the end of the occupation is near. The Iraqi people are at a critical moment as they face their immediate future. On March 7, 2010, new legislative elections will be held, whose objective is to conclude the consolidation process for internal control in Iraq, with a view to a complete withdrawal of the United States in 2011. As in previous instances, the anti-occupation field will not participate in elections it considers illegal, though it will not interfere with popular participation in those elections.

Iraq’s occupants have submitted the country to the old colonial logic of social fragmentation. The occupation, instead of bringing democratic policies to Iraq, as its invaders claimed in 2003, has brought formal power to certain people and sectarian organizations linked with the occupiers themselves or with countries in the region, without any legitimacy whatsoever. Their game is not that of representing and defending one or another of the Iraqi communities, but to serve their foreign masters while enriching themselves without impunity. The upcoming elections in March 7 will only exacerbate this failed dynamic and instead of enabling the democratic expression of the Iraqi people, they reflect the fight between US and Iran, for the control of Iraq. For this reason, extremely bitter conflicts are developing within the collaborationist camp itself: according to general opinion in the streets of Iraq, the latest massive attacks in Baghdad and other cities are the result (either through the direct involvement or passivity of the security services) of a ruthless struggle between sectarian groups, who are resolving their political differences at the cost of the lives of hundreds of innocent Iraqis  

The country’s subjection to occupation has cost up to a million lives, according to the estimates of prestigious international institutions. According to the UN, during 2005 and 2006, up to a hundred Iraqis were killed every day by death squads linked to the new Iraqi authorities, and therefore, either directly or indirectly, to the occupation forces. Officially, 40,000 Iraqis are being held by the US or the new Iraqi authorities. Furthermore, the terror and repression have led to the greatest exodus in recent history. According to the UN, since the beginning of the occupation, nearly five million Iraqis have become internally displaced or forced to find refuge outside the country: Iraq has more people who have had to abandon their homes than any other country in the world: 16% of its population. For these Iraqis, return to their homes is not feasible.

Inside the country, elections have not stirred any hope of an improvement in the daily situation which has not ceased to deteriorate from day to day since 2003. Iraq, one of the richest countries on the planet, formerly with a large professional middle class, today demonstrates paltry indicators in the areas of education, health, electricity and potable water supplies, as well as in respect to human and social rights. Iraq is the fourth most corrupt country in the world: in the strategic oil sector that is gradually being privatized, no-one knows where the revenues from oil sales will end up. It is the political class imposed by the occupiers that makes up a new oligarchy which legitimizes the theft and dismantling of public institutions through regressive legislation, and which nullifies the concept of citizenship and subjects the lives of Iraq’s women and men to arbitrariness and helplessness.


Against this background, the project for the recovery of Iraq’s sovereignty is inexorably linked to the democratic and integrated reconstruction of its institutions. The military occupation must not give way to a puppet regime or to the fracturing of the country into areas influenced by neighboring governments that could facilitate the unhindered plunder of its wealth in the future. The Iraqi people want to fully recover their sovereignty and the greatest inheritance of their past, one that was embodied in an integrated and dynamic society, despite the adversity of its recent history. This is the project that the Iraqi resistance embodies and wishes to materialize, and that the meeting at Gijón aims to further, in an atmosphere of trust and freedom.

The democratic anti-occupation currents are converging slowly, but inexorably. Since 2007 four Fronts have been created around which the majority of the militant groups are coalescing. The coordination among them has moved forward, without materializing into full military unification. More importantly, after the end of the first phase of military confrontation with the occupiers, the political and civilian representatives of the resistance continue their dialogue on a program and common strategy, and on the need to offer a united dialogue inside Iraq as much as outside. It is an essential objective for Iraq’s future, in order to achieve a democratic and integrated solution to the crisis the occupation has created.

 

This is the spirit of the meeting at Gijón, a date to which the highest representatives of the main anti-occupation Iraqi political and civilian groups have already committed: the Nationalist and Islamic Patriotic Front (political organization of the Jihad and Liberation Front), the Association of Muslim Scholars (whose Secretary General, Sheikh Harez Al-Dari, has been designated as political representative by the military factions of the Jihad and Change Front), the Political Council of the Iraqi Resistance (political organization of the Jihad and Reformation) and the Iraqi National Foundation Congress (made up of more than 20 civic associations and community representatives), men as well as women who will remember the essential role of this collective in Iraq’s contemporary history: Judeir Al-Murshidi, Secretary General of the Nationalist and Islamic Patriotic Front of Iraq; Sheikh Bashar Mohamed Al-Faidi, spokesperson and Executive Committee member of the Association of Muslim Scholars; Sheikh Ali al-Jubouri, Secretary General of the Political Council of the Iraqi Resistance; Ayatollah Yawad Al-Jalesi, Secretary General of the Iraqi National Foundation Congress; Sheikh Ahmed Al-Ganim, President of the Southern Tribal Council of Iraq; Arshad Zibari, Secretary General of the Kurdish Justice Party; Yusef Hamdan, member of the People’s Union (communist); Asma Al-Haidari, Human Rights activist; Haifa Zangana, writer; and Isam Al-Chalabi, former Iraqi Oil Minister (1987-1990) and oil expert.

The meeting will be organized with the collaboration of the Damascus based Independence Study Center, whose president, Khalid Al-Maani, will attend this meeting. The meeting will also be attended by personalities and representatives from the U.S., Europe and Arab world organizations, such as Hans von Sponeck and Ramsey Clark, a singular opportunity to restore or build ties with Iraqi organizations. In the context of Spain’s EU presidency, the visit of these distinguished political and social Iraqi leaders will be taken advantage of, to propose a direct dialogue with the Spanish authorities and Spanish and European political groups, among others.
