Since the March 2003 invasion, the US-UK occupation of Iraq has
utterly failed to bring peace, prosperity and democracy, as originally
advertised. This major report assesses conditions in the country and
especially the responsibility of the US-led Coalition for violations
of international law. In twelve detailed chapters, brimming with
information, the authors provide a unique and compelling analysis of
the conflict, concluding with recommendations for action. Among the
topics covered are: destruction of cultural heritage, killing of
civilians, attacks on cities and long-term military bases. The report
has been written and produced by Global Policy Forum and co-published
by thirty NGOs.
