  • 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.
