footage," said Amnesty International.
Amnesty International has documented and acted upon gross human
rights violations in Iraq throughout the rule of Saddam Hussein. It has
long called for an end to impunity for such violations. In 1988, Amnesty
International for the first time urged the UN Security Council to intervene
in Iraq to stop the massive human rights violations being perpetrated
against the Kurds. The truth must be disclosed and the victims and their
families must receive reparations.
"The standards that should be used in the detention, interrogation
and trial should be based on exactly the same principles that Saddam
Hussein and others are accused of having denied the Iraqi people: these are
the principles of international law," said Amnesty International.
Background:
Together with other human rights organizations, Amnesty International has
called for international and Iraqi experts to develop options for ensuring
a fair trial for those accused of crimes of the scale and nature of those
committed under the rule of Saddam Hussein. The UN has considerable
expertise in this area. Amnesty International had also called for broad
consultations within Iraqi society on the overall approach to
accountability for past crimes before a final decision is taken on the
specific option for bringing accused to justice. See Ensuring Justice and
Accountability for Human Rights Abuses

Fundamental principles of fair trial include the presumption of
innocence. Any tribunal must be competent, impartial and independent, and
pursue suspects solely on the basis of the evidence against them and
through a fair process. There should be no statute of limitations and no
amnesties, pardons or similar measures for crimes under international law
if such measures would prevent a conclusive verdict and full reparations
for victims. Suspects should be brought to justice in proceedings that
fully respect international law and standards for fair trial at all stages
of the proceedings. There should be the right to appeal and no recourse to
the death penalty or other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment.
Victims and their families must have effective means to obtain full
reparation for the violations they have suffered.
