Program Title: Iraq: No Accountability in the UN or Canada
Description: ON this week's GLOBAL RESEARCH News Hour, we examione the question of accountability in upholding international law in the case of Iraq War Crimes. Former UN Humanitarian Coordinator Dennis Halliday explains how the United Nations and the WTO failed in its obligations to the Iraqi people in the wake of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, a decade of crippling sanctions and the lawless agression there by the major powers in 2003. Then Professor Francis Boyle explains the obligations of the Canadian Government to protect soldiers from having to return to the US where they face lengthy jail sentences for desertion. Finally, Gail Davidson of Lawyers Against the War speaks to the need to place former Vice-President Richard Cheney under arrest during his visit to Toronto in late October.
