- Iraq Post-Conflict Justice: A Proposed Plan
In
this report, M. Cherif Bassiouni outlines a comprehensive program for
the development of a post conflict regime in Iraq that will achieve
international credibility and gain local support. The comprehensive
program will link international principles with capacity-building within
the Iraqi justice system. The goals of the program are: to avoid
individual acts of vengeance; provide some closure to victims; support
the establishment of a democratic form of government based on the rule
of law; restore an independent judiciary; and build the foundations for
the democratic future, territorial integrity and national peace of Iraq.
This Proposal includes both the English and Arabic versions of the
statute of the Iraq Special Tribunal, passed into law by the Iraqi
Governing Council on December 10, 2003. 101 pp. 2003, International
Human Rights Law Institute.
