Justice For Iraq

This policy paper discusses: the need for justice; principles that should be met regarding any future form of justice to redress the most serious crimes committed by the Iraqi authorities; justice mechanisms that best further those principles; complementary measures to promote justice and accountability in Iraq; and other considerations relevant to justice and accountability. The paper concludes that: there is a clear need for justice for the people of Iraq achieved through an effective tribunal; any form of justice must be impartial, fair, independent, and capable of being established in a timely fashion; and the creation of an international tribunal for Iraq is the mechanism most likely to advance those principles.
