PRESS RELEASE
30 October 2010
WIKILEAKS IRAQ WAR LOGS: LEGAL ACTION IS UNAVOIDABLE
The essence of our case was that the accumulated pattern of harm,
stretching over 19 years, revealed a clear and specific “intent to
destroy”, in whole or in part, the state and nation of Iraq. We
catalogued the purposive dismantling of the Iraqi state and the
imposition, incitement and engineering of sectarian conflict. We
also described the systematic destruction of Iraq’s civil
infrastructure, added to the massive use of depleted uranium, which
from 1990 onwards led to millions of excess deaths. We outlined the
use of disproportionate and indiscriminate force, the use of
internationally prohibited weapons such as white phosphorus, and the
use of prohibited means and methods of warfare. And we identified
the use of death squads and armed militias associated with political
forces promoted by and protected by Washington, the terror that led
to the forced mass displacement of five million Iraqis, and the
institutionalised regime of mass and arbitrary detention and
torture, along with blackmail, kidnapping, rape and unfair trials,
that characterised Iraq under US occupation.

Dead: 19? Injured: 60? This is Israel
!
Appeal
of the BRussells
Tribunal
(31 May
2010)
-
Israel’s killing of 19? innocents with 60? more
injured must have maximal consequences
- Israel
impunity is a threat to all
Even for
eyes burnt witnessing human suffering, there is something shocking,
something impossible, about watching Israeli soldiers, armed and in gas
masks, fast-roping from helicopters onto an aid ship filled with civilians —
journalists, parliamentarians, human rights activists, mothers, doctors —
headed to Gaza to break the inhuman siege that keeps 1.5 million people
somewhere between life and death.
The Mavi
Marmara, carrying 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid, was flying a white flag:
a universal symbol of non-violence. It was also flying the Turkish flag, in
international waters, giving it status as a sovereign extension of Turkey.
Regardless, Israel attacked. For what does Israel fight? Its existence, or
the continuance of a regime of collective punishment calculated to destroy
the Palestinians? Or are these the same thing? Dead: 19? Injured: 60? Who
gave the order? Will NATO react to an attack on one of its members?

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

We demand that the
Belgian government immediately intervenes with the Iraqi authorities to
save the life of Oussama Atar,
a young Belgian, aged 26, who has been detained in Iraq for six years.
In the messages that he has sent us during the last years, via the Red
Cross, Oussama has never complained about his diabolical conditions of
detention. But, in the last few weeks, he started to send SOS messages
that his health is rapidly deteriorating: he loses blood and weight
visibly. Me and my family are extremely worried about the situation. He
is today in a grave and critical state. He needs the urgent medical
treatment that is being refused by the prison authorities. We ask that
the Belgian authorities intervene as quickly as possible to ensure that
Oussama receives immediate hospital treatment. We demand that the
Belgium government goes through the diplomatic channels so that Oussama
can receive medical treatment in Belgium and complete his sentence in
Belgium.
Oussama was arrested in the village of Ramadi in Iraq
for having illegally crossed over the frontier from Syria into Iraq.
This is the single act for which he has been reproached. Unjustly
condemned for this by a tribunal to 25 years in prison, a sentence
reduced on appeal to 10 years, he has been sent to several prisons, such
as the horrible Abu Ghraib

Iraqi Intellectuals in Solidarity
with al-Adab Journal
(April 2010)
 The
Publications Court in Beirut issued its verdict in the libel suit brought
against al-Adab Journal, fining Samah Idriss, owner and editor-in-chief of
the journal, and writer of the contested article, and ‘Aida Matraji, the
manager of the journal, the amount of six million Lebanese pounds ($4000)
each. The verdict imposes on the journal a fine of one hundred thousand
Lebanese pounds, to be paid jointly by Idriss and Matraji, as symbolic
compensation to the plaintiff. The journal will publish at its own expense
the summary judgment in its first issue following the verdict.
Fakhri Karim Wali, a senior advisor to the President in
the occupied Iraq, had filed a libel suit against al-Adab, Idriss, and
Matraji, as a result of an editorial entitled: “Critique
of ‘Critical’ Consciousness: Iraqi Kurdistan as a Case Study”
(Issue 5 - 6, 2007). Iraqi intellectuals who have experienced the
intellectual ordeal in the shadow of despotic rule and who continue to
contest the ‘liberalism’ of the new occupation, protest this unjust verdict
against al-Adab and its editor-in-chief and manager. In solidarity
with al-Adab, we have decided to
re-publish in full the editorial, subject of the above mentioned unjust
lawsuit, thus announcing our solidarity with its every word and with its
mission to expose the fraudulent left, the apologists for occupation, the
advisors to the President, and the enemies of freedom;
we also affirm our faith in al-Adab as an ally to the Iraqis and a
supporter of a free, independent and pluralistic Iraq, that resists
occupation and Zionism. |

PRESS RELEASE 7 October 2009
FOR JUSTICE FOR IRAQ:
LEGAL CASE FILED AGAINST FOUR US
PRESIDENTS AND FOUR UK PRIME MINISTERS
FOR WAR CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
AND GENOCIDE IN IRAQ
MADRID:
Today the Spanish
Senate, acting to confirm a decision already taken under pressure
from powerful governments accused of grave crimes, will limit
Spain’s laws of universal jurisdiction. Yesterday, ahead of the
change of law, a
legal case was filed
at the Audiencia Nacional against four United States presidents and
four United Kingdom prime ministers for commissioning, condoning
and/or perpetuating multiple war crimes, crimes against humanity,
and genocide in Iraq.
This case,
naming George H W Bush, William J Clinton, George W Bush, Barack H
Obama, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Anthony Blair and Gordon
Brown, is brought by Iraqis and others who stand in solidarity with
the Iraqi people and in defence of their rights and international
law.

Iraqi
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told a group of educators in
Washington on 25 July that his country plans to send over 50.000
students abroad over the next 5 years. The students will be studying
in the U.S. and London, supposedly to rebuild the country’s once
strong education system. A noble initiative at first sight, until
you look further behind the official smokescreen. There are no
references in Maliki’s speeches to the threats, discharges, forced
migration,
mass kidnappings
and assassinations of Iraqi academics. Nor is the destruction of
educational institutions, archaeological sites, the looting of Iraqi
musea, the
erasure of Iraqi, Arab and world heritage being mentioned. Further,
the Iraqi government has committed to fully fund $1 billion a year
to this program
and
will pay for tuition and fees, as well as room and board,
meaning
that Iraq is now sponsoring the US and UK universities.

 “Responsibility
to Protect” (R2P): Imperialism in a new dress
The « Responsibility to Protect » is a notion
agreed to by world leaders in 2005, that holds States responsible
for shielding their own populations from genocide, war crimes,
ethnic cleansing, and related crimes against humanity, requiring the
international community to step in if this obligation is not met.
This last point is suspected to be related to the « right of
humanitarian intervention » and is the source of many debates.
The discussion was initiated by General Assembly
President Miguel D’Escoto (from Nicaragua) and gathered Noam
Chomsky, Gareth Evans, a supporter of R2P, former Foreign Minister
of Australia and, until recently, president of the International
Crisis Group, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, a prominent African writer and
defender of human rights, and Jean Bricmont, member of the
executive committee of the BRussells
Tribunal. Here is the text of Jean Bricmont's speech. |

On the death of Harold Pinter: A Giant Has Died
(+ 24 Dec 2008)
"The
invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt
for the concept of international law. The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series
of lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of the public; an act intended to
consolidate American military and economic control of the Middle East masquerading – as a last resort –
all other justifications having failed to justify themselves – as liberation. A formidable assertion of
military force responsible for the death and mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people.
We
have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery,
degradation and death to the Iraqi people and call it 'bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East'."

Demand for the immediate
release of Muntadher Al-Zaidi
Statement by The
BRussells Tribunal Committee
(15 December 2008)
In one magnificent
act, Muntadher Al-Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist with Al-Baghdadiya television,
epitomized the truth of the defeat of the United States in Iraq and lifted
the spirit of resistance within the hearts of all Arabs, matching that of
the Iraqi people who continue to resist imperialism and colonialism and who
refuse humiliation.
It is Bush who is
humiliated, and from it he cannot recover. He had snuck into Iraq,
unannounced, to sign an illegal treaty with his puppet stooge aimed at
institutionalizing the US occupation. Two flying shoes destroyed the façade
upon which he and his cronies claim victory in Iraq.

International Action Center founder Ramsey
Clark, a former US Attorney General and internationally renown human rights
defender, a witness of the BRussells
Tribunal, received the respected United Nations Prize in the Field of Human
Rights on the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

all corners of the world.”
The UN announcement described Ramsey Clark as “a
veteran human rights defender and rule of law advocate, played a key role in
the civil rights and peace movements in the US, and more recently has spoken

 On March 26, 2008, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) appointed
Richard Falk

Professor
Falk
was Co-coordinator of the Panel of Advocates in the culminating session of
the World Tribunal on Iraq, Istanbul 2005.
"On December 14
2008, I arrived
at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, Israel to carry out my UN role as special
rapporteur on the Palestinian territories. I was leading a mission that had
intended to visit the West Bank and Gaza to prepare a report on Israel's
compliance with human rights standards and international humanitarian law.
Meetings had been scheduled on an hourly basis during the six days, starting
with Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, the
following day. I knew that there might be problems at the airport. Israel
had strongly opposed my appointment a few months earlier and its foreign
ministry had issued a statement that it would bar my entry if I came to
Israel in my capacity as a UN representative..."

Iraqi oil revenues for Iraqi refugees
-
Sign the petition now!
More than 4.5 million
Iraqis — a fifth of the population — have been displaced inside
and outside their country due to the sectarian policies of the
occupation and the governments it has installed since the
illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The international
community, the occupation powers, and the government in Iraq are
legally required to support and protect Iraqi refugees.
Iraqi refugees are
Iraqi citizens who have a full right to live in dignity, a right
to benefit equally from national resources, and a right to
return to their homes.
The UN Security
Council, as the highest body of the UN, has the power and legal
duty to ensure that the needs of Iraqi refugees are met by
passing a resolution to require that the Iraqi state allocate
proportionate revenue to responsible agencies and hosting
countries. - Read also:

their resistance not represented. Instead, a defeated US occupation will
