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.
