Though based \u003cbr\u003eon fraudulent pretexts and later admitted as an illegal war by then \u003cbr\u003eSecretary-General Kofi Annan, the UN provided a veneer of \u003cbr\u003elegitimacy to what in effect would be the obliteration of an \u003cbr\u003eeffective and functional modern state, redefining its national \u003cbr\u003echaracter via the redrafting of state policies and law, even \u003cbr\u003edeliberately sowing seeds that could lead to its future implosion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume II of Genocide in Iraq addresses Bremer's introduction of \u003cbr\u003ethe imperialist design for Iraq as part of a wider strategy for the \u003cbr\u003eMiddle East. It details the scale of post-2003 destruction and \u003cbr\u003eredesign, showing clearly how every step was intended to change \u003cbr\u003eIraq irreversibly to a slave state of extreme neoliberal capitalism. \u003cbr\u003eIt documents the extent of intentional and ongoing damage as it \u003cbr\u003erelates to killing, torture and displacement, cultural cleansing and \u003cbr\u003egenocide, and ensuing problems in health, child education, \u003cbr\u003epsychological well being, malnutrition, child disabilities, child iabor \u003cbr\u003eand mortality, as well as drug abuse and the impact on women. It \u003cbr\u003etracks the divestment and disposal of Iraqi oil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Nuremberg-level crimes are then reviewed in international \u003cbr\u003elegal context as the crime of aggression, crimes against \u003cbr\u003ehumanity, and violations of the most basic of human rights, as it \u003cbr\u003erelates to the right of remedy, in the hope of providing guidance \u003cbr\u003eto Iraqi individuals or governments seeking recourse in future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abdul Haq Al-Ani,Tarik Al-Ani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0986076929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780986076923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Abdul Haq Al-Ani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443784954111,"sku":"9780986076923","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a9bf378-2070-481e-b898-5fbbc8c204b5.jpg?v=1777207832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genocide-in-iraq-volume-ii-abdul-haq-al-ani-9780986076923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
