Number Of Iraqis Slaughtered
In US War And Occupation Of Iraq "1,455,590"
Iraq War Crimes:
The United Nations in Violation of UN Charter,
Complicit in Abetting US-UK Aggression
“ The U.N. Charter charges the Security Council with the task of preserving
international peace and security. To do so, the Security Council must maintain
its credibility by ensuring full compliance with its resolutions. We cannot allow
a dictator to systematically violate those resolutions. If they are not complied with,
the Security Council will lose its credibility and world peace will suffer as a result.
We are confident that the Security Council will face up to its responsibilities.” -
Text of a letter published in The Wall Street Journal, the Times of London and other newspapers
on Thursday, Jan. 30, 2003, by the prime ministers of Spain, Portugal, Italy and Britain,
the president of the Czech Republic and the prime ministers of Hungary, Poland and Denmark.
“ It is a war crime to launch “an indiscriminate attack affecting the civilian population
in the knowledge that such an attack will cause an excessive loss of life or injury to civilians.”
-Geneva Conventions, Article 85 “ It is especially forbidden to kill treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army.”
— Hague Conventions, Article 23
The United States and its coalition allies have perpetrated serious violations
of international law including the breaching of the UN Charter and multiple
violations of the Geneva Conventions, the US Army Field manual, and the Hague Conventions. [1]
Over 600,000 civilians are estimated to have died as a direct consequence of
US President George W. Bush’s war against Iraq and its mythical ‘weapons of
mass destruction.’ [2] Depleted Uranium munitions has caused birth defects
on a massive scale, and will plague this ancient civilization for millennia to come.
Amply documented, torture was employed by US troops under the authorization
of US Officials like Vice President Richard Cheney, who comes to Canada in late October.
This installment of the Global Research News Hour features a look at US and allied
war crimes and more particularly, the need for accountability for those crimes.

Denis Halliday is the former UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq
( September 1, 1997 until 1998.) He resigned from a 34 year career at the United nations
in protest to what he saw as the ‘genocidal’ economic sanctions carried out against the
Iraqi people through the UN Security Council. Halliday is intensely critical of the UN for
aiding and abetting the US and UK in their criminal aggression of 2003 and beyond.
He is also critical of the World Health Organization for likewise assisting the imperial
Western Giants by suppressing its own report on the effects of the use by US forces
of Depleted Uranium on the Iraqi civilian population. He outlines in this interview what
he thinks the UN could have done, and still can do, to restore some credibility.
Denis Halliday has been an occasional contributor to Global Research.
This is his first interview for the Global Research News Hour.
Some soldiers such as Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejía and Joshua Keydid their duty
under international law and refused to return to service in the Iraq War.

Professor Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of
Illinois College of Law and an internationally recognized expert in his field. In 2007,
Boyle publicly denounced what he called the “ongoing criminal activities perpetrated
by the Bush Jr. administration and its nefarious foreign accomplices in allied governments
such as in Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Georgia, etc.”
Boyle is the author of Protesting Power: War, Resistance, and Law.
He will explain the legal obligations of countries like the US and Canada to respect the
right of soldiers to refuse to participate in this war.
While the Canadian government is turning away Iraq War resisters, they are welcoming
credibly accused Iraq war criminals into the country.
Mere weeks before Vice- President Cheney is to give a speech in Toronto,
we will hear from Gail Davidson of Lawyers Against The War about the legal obligation
of the Canadian government to deny the former Vice President admittance into Canada or
place him under arrest upon entry.

of US/NATO War Crimes in Iraq.
