World Health Organisation Report On Iraq

EDM number 261 in 2013-14, proposed by George Galloway on 17/06/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Iraq, Military operations and Pollution.

That this House is deeply concerned that a World Health Organisation (WHO) report into the catastrophic health effects of the war in Iraq has still not been published; understand that the report was commissioned to gauge the effect of toxic war pollutants on the population which appears to have resulted in sterility, repeated miscarriages, stillbirths and severe birth defects which are still increasing in frequency; notes that the report was due to be published in November 2012; further notes that 58 scientists, health professionals and human rights activists from around the world have called for its immediate publication; and calls on the Government to put pressure on the WHO to publish the report immediately and to make it available to the House.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
