Description
The Iraq tribunal is an odd creature. (1) It is an Iraqi-led mechanism designed and supported by foreigners. It is based on international law but relies heavily on Iraqi legal tradition and procedures. And it is a postconflict initiative in the midst of escalating war. The tribunal's first trial has brought these and other problems to the fore. Eight individuals, including Saddam Hussein, have been tried on charges of crimes against humanity for actions taken against the residents of Dujail, a small village that was the site of an assassination attempt against the presidential motorcade on July 8, 1982. Hundreds of villagers were detained, tortured, killed, and exiled; those released from exile five years later returned to find their lands destroyed. The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) has monitored sessions of the Dujail trial regularly, independently, and on the ground.
