Through independent, expert analysis and concrete proposals, the IADL-conference will make a fundamental contribution towards “Accountability and Justice for Iraq”.

To ensure maximum participation and impact, the BRussells Tribunal needs your financial support for the Iraqi people.

There are three ways that you or your organisation can contribute:

We have invited activists and lawyers from all over the world with experience in lawsuits against those who are responsible for the invasion, the occupation and destruction of Iraq. Their knowledge and experience is important and even indispensable for the success of this conference.  - Reference: "sponsor a participant".

Contributions for the general expenses of the conference would also be greatly appreciated. A donation of €20 can make a real difference!  -  Reference: “support the conference”

If you have the means and would like to make a larger donation, why not become a "special supporter"? A donation of €1000 or more would go a long way towards ensuring our goal of maximum participation and practical impact. - Reference: “special supporter”

The International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), a non-governmental organization having consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), will hold its 18th Congress in Brussels (Belgium) from 15th to 19th April 2024. This Congress will be the number one meeting-, networking- and exchange opportunity for hundreds of legal activists throughout the world.

Two days of this Congress will be dedicated to several commissions on topics and themes in which legal activists worldwide are involved. In partnership with IADL the BRussells Tribunal will organize a commission about "Accountability and Justice for Iraq".

The aggression against Iraq, launched by the “Coalition of the Willing”, under the command of the US and UK, was not just immoral, it was properly illegal and fits the Nuremberg definition of a Crime against Peace. Such a war should have its legal consequences for the aggressors and rights for the victims under International law.

The BRussells Tribunal intends to bring together international legal experts and activists who will explore the possibilities for legal actions against those responsible for the war of aggression against Iraq. Participants will also share their experiences about past and present legal procedures and will discuss the different forms of legal action.

Through independent, expert analysis and concrete proposals, the IADL-conference will make a fundamental contribution towards “Accountability and Justice for Iraq”.
