Inquiry on the Iraq War: who is accountable?
August 17, 2009 in Travel Related
(Forimmediaterelease.net) As the violence, bombings, and deaths continue in Iraq, Action for UN Renewal is holding an inquiry on establishing the truth about the Iraq War. Distinguished speakers, including General Sir Hugh Beach, Robert Fox (Evening Standard), Nick Grief (international lawyer), Nicholas Jones (former BBC correspondent), and Vijay Mehta (chair, Action for UN Renewal) will be exploring various issues; it will establish the reasons, legality, and hidden agendas to the build-up to the war, including the role of the media and the United Nations from 2001-09. It will also explore principles we can follow so that future disputes can be settled without recourse to violence. The meeting will not only bring together the facts, evidence, and testimonies but also send recommendations to the Iraq Inquiry set up by the UK government under the chairmanship of Sir John Chilcot.
It is being held on Tuesday, August 18, 6:30 pm at Friends House (Euston Road), London.
The meeting will be chaired by Rita Payne, former Asia Editor of BBC World TV and chair of the Commonwealth Journalists Association.
