July 31, 2003 To assess the various aspects on which the United States needs to focus for the establishment of a civil society in Iraq, the U.S. Institute of Peace and U.S. Department of State co-hosted on July 17, 2003 a roundtable discussion with prominent experts and experienced practitioners. The participants, including U.S. government officials, representatives of nongovernmental organizations, academics, and Iraqi political leaders based in Washington, D.C., sought to examine barriers to establishing civil society in Iraq and how they might be overcome. The views summarized below reflect the discussion at the meeting; they do not represent formal positions taken by the Institute, which does not advocate specific policies.

Kosovo Equal Rights Still a Stretch in Iraq by M.E. Sprengelmeyer, Rocky Mountain News December 26, 2003 It can be a lonely struggle when you're just one of three women on Iraq's new governing council. Some men avert their eyes when you talk. The leaders ignore your reports. They wait until you're away, then rush through important votes. And they dismiss your indignant protests - if they listen at all. Dr. Raja Khuzai is learning these things on the job, but the 57-year-old mother of seven says she has survived tougher, more solitary battles. She flashes back to just before the first Persian Gulf War. As an obstetrician, she was installed in 1990 as the first female hospital director in Iraq, taking over a maternity hospital in Diwaniya. It wasn't long before the town was under siege.

Our solidarity with the Iraqi people, On the other hand, the palliative measures initiated by the SC ­ specifically the "Oil-For-Food" program, resolution 986 ­ , although they have hardly managed to check Iraq's humanitarian catastrophe, have perversely permitted public opinion to be distracted from the Iraqi drama, and have guaranteed neo-colonial control over the country's resources and finances by channelling billions of dollars toward the payment of war compensations. Meanwhile, thousands of Iraqis continue to die each month from preventable illnesses and basic infra-structural deficiencies.

BADIL Site BADIL Commentary International law comes to Iraq. When to Palestine For Immediate Release No. (E/16/04) May The assurance from U.S. military and civilian authorities that international law and the Geneva conventions will now apply after revelations of prisoner abuse in Iraq is a very welcome signal Does this mean that international law is now recognized by members of the Coalition Provision Authority in Iraq as an essential element in resolving conflicts? Does it also mean that high-ranking military and civilian officials will be held accountable for human rights abuses Palestinians have been waiting for such a signal for decades. Since the Palestinian Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948, the United Nations Security Council has adopted more than 200 resolutions on the subject but the trail of unimplemented resolutions is endless. They include resolutions asking Israel to abide by obligations and responsibilities in the 4th Geneva Convention, rescind measures changing the status of Jerusalem, cease building illegal Jewish colonies on occupied Palestinian land, stop deporting Palestinians from the occupied territories, and on and on Neither Security Council Resolution 242 on withdrawal of Israeli forces from 1967 occupied territories and asking for a just settlement of the Palestinian refugee problem nor General Assembly Resolution 194 on the right of return, passed annually, has been implemented

Despite relative silence on this issue for months, the debate has resurfaced at a time when Baghdad is almost ready to adopt a new constitution.
