Description
xThe current horrific malaise in the state of Iraq has its roots in the
US-led destruction of Iraq in 1991, followed by a decade of harsh
US-led international sanctions against the entire Iraqi population
that killed millions -- one of the most heinous crimes of the 20th
century.
A second "shock and awe" war of aggression on Iraq in 2003
enabled the US/UK military occupation that ensued. Though based
on fraudulent pretexts and later admitted as an illegal war by then
Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the UN provided a veneer of
legitimacy to what in effect would be the obliteration of an
effective and functional modern state, redefining its national
character via the redrafting of state policies and law, even
deliberately sowing seeds that could lead to its future implosion.
Volume II of Genocide in Iraq addresses Bremer's introduction of
the imperialist design for Iraq as part of a wider strategy for the
Middle East. It details the scale of post-2003 destruction and
redesign, showing clearly how every step was intended to change
Iraq irreversibly to a slave state of extreme neoliberal capitalism.
It documents the extent of intentional and ongoing damage as it
relates to killing, torture and displacement, cultural cleansing and
genocide, and ensuing problems in health, child education,
psychological well being, malnutrition, child disabilities, child iabor
and mortality, as well as drug abuse and the impact on women. It
tracks the divestment and disposal of Iraqi oil.
These Nuremberg-level crimes are then reviewed in international
legal context as the crime of aggression, crimes against
humanity, and violations of the most basic of human rights, as it
relates to the right of remedy, in the hope of providing guidance
to Iraqi individuals or governments seeking recourse in future.
