Comments Of Former Un Head Of Human Rights Mission On Iraq (No. 2)
EDM number 1699 in 2005-06, proposed by Harry Cohen on 27/02/2006.
That this House expresses concern at the comments of Mr John Pace, until recently Head of the United Nations Human Rights Office of the UN Assistance Mission to Iraq, that the violence in Iraq is being made worse by the seizing of young Iraqi men, the vast majority of whom he says are innocent, by US troops and Iraqi police as they move from city to city carrying out raids and that these young men very often do not get released for months, and are brought into contact with insurgents and the result is that such individuals turn into terrorists at the end of their detention; and therefore calls upon the US to end these counter-productive raids which will not deliver a peaceful democracy to Iraq.
This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
