	World Tribunal on Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It sprung from the anti-war movement and is modelled on the Russel Tribunal of the American movement against the Vietnam War.
		Although other crimes are investigated, such tribunals require a lot of political will and strength to set up and few commentators appear to believe that a formal tribunal such as the Nuremberg Trials or the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia will be established.
		Many people believe that the war in Iraq was necessary to rid the world of a tyrant, and that those who oppose it are short sighted and fail to appreciate the work done.

	WORLD TRIBUNAL: Iraq needs justice, not occupation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		We formed the World Tribunal on Iraq, to demand justice and a peaceful future.” — from the preliminary declaration of the World Tribunal on Iraq, Istanbul, June 27.
		The tribunal was formed by activists in the anti-war movement because of the absence, as the tribunal's statement on its legitimacy explains, of a “court or authority that will judge the acts of the US and its allies”.
		Indicators of the economic malaise that Iraq continues to suffer are the increase in inflation from 0.6% in July 2004 to 11.5% in February 2005 and the increase in the length of lines waiting for petrol increased by 10 times between July 2003 and January 2005 (to an average 1.6km!).

	World Tribunal for Iraq, Culminating Session Testimony
		This testimony is about ongoing violations of international law being committed by the occupiers of Iraq on a daily basis in regards to rampant torture, the neglect and obstruction of the health care sector and the ongoing failure to allow Iraqis to reconstruct their infrastructure.
		In April 2004, an ICRC report stated that hospitals in Iraq are overwhelmed with new patients, short of medicine and supplies and lack both adequate electricity and water, with ongoing bloodshed stretching the hospitals' already meager resources to the limit.
		Many doctors in Iraq believe that the lack of assistance, if not outright hostility, by the US military, coupled with the lack of rebuilding and reconstruction by foreign contractors has compounded the problems they are facing.

		Detailed evidence was presented to the Tribunal by expert witnesses that leukemia had risen sharply in children under the age of five residing in those areas that had been targeted by DU weapons.
		The World Tribunal on Iraq throughout all of its session proceeded from a sense of moral and political outrage of concerned citizens from all over the world, with respect to the war.

		The World Tribunal on Iraq sitting in session at Cooper Union in New York City on May 8th 2004 and having heard the testimony and evidence presented and having carefully weighed that evidence has reached a series of conclusions.
		The current war and occupation of Iraq were undertaken in disregard of the most fundamental principles of international law and with obvious contempt for truth, posterity, and the morality which should guide all human actions.
		We were told that the war on Iraq was waged because there were weapons of mass destruction, and that there were linkages between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qua'ida. We were told that the US authorities were deeply concerned for Iraqi people and their suffering under Saddam Hussein and they longed for their freedom and democracy.
