UN Human Rights Report Praises US on Iraq

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday June 04, 2004 14:33author by Lizard King Report this post to the editors

A UN human rights report today credited the US-led coalition with ending years of violations by Saddam Hussein’s regime, but also cited concerns over prisoner abuse.

“The fall of Saddam Hussein removed a government that preyed on the Iraqi people and committed shocking, systematic and criminal violations of human rights,” said the report by the UN high commissioner for human rights.

“After the occupation of Iraq by coalition forces there have, sadly, been some violations of human rights, committed by some coalition soldiers,” the report said.

“Governmental leaders of the countries concerned have, at the highest levels, condemned these violations and have pledged to bring those responsible to justice and to uphold the rule of law. It is imperative that this be done, with accountability to the international community.”
