Arab human rights commission urges for suing authors of genocide in iraq
Regional-Iraq, Politics, 6/27/2003

The Arab Permanent Human Rights Commission condemned on Wednesday, at the end of its extraordinary session, the genocide discovered in Iraq and urged for taking legal action against their authors.

This came in a report, containing the commissions' recommendations and amendment projects of the Arab Human Rights Charter, and that will be submitted to the Arab League's foreign affairs ministers' council.

Chairman of the commission, Khaled Naciri, told MAP that the hideous acts, perpetrated at the time of the former regime, are crimes against humanity and a genocide.

Despite the multiple signs on the dangerous practices of the former Iraqi regime, the commission did not have the mechanisms to check the acts, he stressed, underlining that the delegations that took part in the session submitted proposals for the creation of new mechanisms to monitor human rights practices in Arab countries.

Naciri also underscored divergences in the Arab countries approaches concerning human rights.
