New CESR fact sheets on Iraq crisis

Dear Friends,

The Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) is coordinating an Emergency Campaign on Iraq to promote peaceful alternatives to war based on fundamental human rights principles. CESR researchers have just returned from Iraq where they identified foreseeable humanitarian consequences of a new war against Iraq. Their forthcoming report warns that the US may be guilty of war crimes if it targets indispensable civilian infrastructure (e.g. food distribution, electricity, water purification, public health), as was done in the 1991 Gulf War. Baseline data gathered by CESR may be used as evidence in future legal proceedings against the US and UK.

In addition, CESR is preparing a series of one-page fact sheets examining key topics related to the crisis in Iraq, including:

1. Overview of the crisis
2. Costs and Consequences of War for Iraq
3. Weapons of Mass Destruction
4. Costs and Consequences of War for the US
5. Secrets and Lies: US Justifications for War
6. International Law on Sanctions and War

The first three fact sheets are available NOW at http://www.cesr.org/iraq/index.cfm?pageid=fact_sheets and the others are on their way soon! We hope that you will find these resources useful and informative, and encourage you to share them freely and widely.

Peace,
Chris

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
