Bombs have been dropped and lives shattered. Much of Iraq lies in ruins,
smashed, looted and then occupied by a hostile and unwanted invasion force.
In the face of the human suffering caused by the war on Iraq we must act now
against the crime of silence and impunity to write a counter-history.

* Could the doctrine of "preventive war" ever be legal under international
law?
* Can we record the crimes committed in launching this war of aggression,
during the military campaign and ongoing occupation?
* Can the initiation of any war be legitimate when overwhelmingly opposed by
a global anti-war movement that includes the citizens of every state
involved?
* Can there be a grassroots space where we can initiate the process of
providing justice and accountability?

PRESENTATIONS, TESTIMONY AND VISUALS WILL INVESTIGATE:

- The U.S.-led war of aggression against Iraq

- Crimes committed during the declared military campaign

- Crimes committed during the ongoing occupation
