The Iraqi Provisional Constitution (drafted in 1970) formally guaranteed equal rights to women and other laws specifically ensured their right to vote, attend school, run for political office, and own property. Yet, since the 1991 Gulf War, the position of women within Iraqi society has deteriorated rapidly. Women and girls were disproportionately affected by the economic consequences of the U.N. sanctions, and lacked access to food, health care, and education. These effects were compounded by changes in the law that restricted women's mobility and access to the formal sector in an effort to ensure jobs to men and appease conservative religious and tribal groups. Women's Status in Iraq Prior to the 1991 Gulf War After seizing power in 1968, the secular Ba'ath party embarked on a program to consolidate its authority and to achieve rapid economic growth despite labor shortages.

IRAQ AI Index: MDE 14/030/2004 June Iraq Human rights protection and promotion vital in the transitional period INTRODUCTION On 8 June 2004 the United Nations (UN) Security Council (SC) unanimously adopted Resolution 1546 (2004) on Iraq. The resolution endorses the formation of a sovereign Interim Government of Iraq (IGI) and declares that "by 30 June 2004, the occupation will end and the Coalition Provisional Authority will cease to exist, and that Iraq will reassert its full sovereignty." It authorizes a multinational force (MNF) led by the United States (US) to have the authority to "take all necessary measures to contribute to the maintenance of security and stability in Iraq" in accordance with provisions set out in letters annexed to the resolution from US Secretary of State Colin Powell and Iraqi Prime Minister Iyyad al-‘Allawi. Resolution 1546 also endorses a proposed timetable for a political transition in Iraq which includes the holding of a national conference, and organizing direct democratic elections by 31 January 2005 to a Transitional National Assembly (TNA), which will be responsible for forming a Transitional Government of Iraq and drafting a permanent constitution, culminating in the election of a government by 31 December 2005. The resolution calls for the UN to help organize elections, advise on drafting a constitution, provide reconstruction and humanitarian assistance, help plan for a census, and promote human rights.

On Sunday, 5 August 2005, leaders of major political parties in the Iraqi Transitional National Assembly, including President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Dr Ibrahim al-Ja'fari, as well as members of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) will start debating the draft constitution with a view to finding a consensus on a few major contentious issues which members of the CDC were unable to solve. Among these issues are federalism, the future of Kirkuk, the role of Islam in legislation and women's rights. The final draft of the constitution will be submitted to the Transitional National Assembly for discussion and approval by 15 August and then it will be put to a referendum by 15 October 2005. Amnesty International welcomes the drafting of the new permanent constitution which encompasses many guarantees for the protection and promotion of human rights, including the prohibition of torture, the right to fair trial and freedom of expression and assembly.

how we work c where we work c partner updates c emergency response Country information - Iraq December 1998 Sanctions and human rights Eight years after the Gulf War, the struggle between Iraq and the international community continues. Directly after the war, a popular uprising in Iraq was crushed by government forces loyal to Saddam Hussein. Allied forces did nothing to intervene. Meanwhile international sanctions were imposed on Iraqi society as a punishment for the failure of Saddam Hussein's regime to comply with the terms of the ceasefire embodied in United Nations Security Council Resolutions. Sanctions have impoverished the civilian population, but the country's leadership has survived their impact. UN Security Council Resolution 687 (1990), demanded the elimination of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Iraq's recognition of Kuwait's sovereignty and the delineation of the Iraq-Kuwait border. Sanctions were imposed on Iraq to force its withdrawal from Kuwait, but ultimately this goal was achieved by military means. After the war, Iraq was permitted to import medicines and food as long as the UN Sanctions Committee was notified. In 1991, Iraq rejected a Security Council proposal for a limited sale of oil controlled by the UN. Only in 1996 did it accept a revised version, UNSC Resolution 986 (1995), known as the 'oil for food' deal. The impact of sanctions Comprehensive sanctions resulted in a prolonged trade embargo. This cut Iraq's main source of revenue - oil - and led to dramatic falls in income for all but specially privileged sections of the population. Those who still have jobs earn a fraction of their previous income. Many are unemployed, or are forced to take second jobs in the informal sector. Others rely on remittances from family members many of whom are refugees having fled Iraq's repressive regime.

But for many, the link between this conviction and opposition to US plans to attack Iraq is severed by fear, misinformation and a desensitization to what war will really mean for ordinary Iraqis. This guide is intended to help combat the euphemisms ("collateral damage") and passive language ("bombs fell") that obscure the suffering that the Bush Administration’s plans will cause. We hope it will be useful in navigating conversations about the war and encouraging family and friends to take a stand for peaceful alternatives.

Iraq is a country with a rich ethnic and religious diversity with Arab Shiites (approximately 60-65%) comprising the majority of the population, and with large Arab and Sunni Kurdish communities (32-37%). Turkmen, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Armenians, Yazidis, and Mandaeans also make up small, but influential, segments of the population. A government that draws on members of all communities, or at least that represents key segments, would best protect the interests and rights of all Iraqis. Religious Freedom Curbed Under Saddam Hussein Political Reconstruction in Post-War Iraq Recommendations Human rights must be fully guaranteed in the new constitution, consistent with international human rights standards. The new constitution should guarantee that the religious freedom of all Iraqis is protected, that women and members of religious minorities have equal rights to all other Iraqi citizens, that any internationally prohibited, abusive punishments such as flogging, amputations, and stoning are banned, and that non-Muslims will not be subject to Sharia or to any law that may violate international principles of human rights.

This should include, at a minimum, an unqualified guarantee of the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief for each individual Iraqi; unqualified provision of equality and nondiscrimination for members of all groups, including women; and a provision that no law shall be contrary to the rights guaranteed in the bill of rights and international human rights standards; call on the constitutional drafting committee to enter into a dialogue with international experts on religion, human rights, and religious freedom regarding the interplay between these factors and stability and security; and
