Iraq Genocide by UN SanctionsPlease support www.iacenter.orgIraq UN Embargoes:United Nations and UNICEF estimate that the United Nations sanctions on Iraq resulted in the death of approximately 1.5 million people, including the death of over 500,000 children under age of 4. In 2002, a 12 non-governmental organizations study group said that the U.N. economic embargo against Iraq was flawed because it severely hurt the Iraqi people while sparing the country's leaders. The United States and the United Kingdom used their veto power to prolong the sanctions, bear special responsibility for perpetuating the sanctions against the wishes of the vast majority of the 15-member Security Council.The oil for food program was a joke, if all the money attained from the program was used to buy food, it would have worked out to $170 per year per person. This has been calculated to be 1/4 that needed to feed a dog at the time.Iraq after the US Led Invaision of 2003:A study conducted by the FAFO Institute for Applied Social Science, a Norwegian research group, found in November 2004 that acute malnutrition among Iraqi children between the ages of six months and five years has increased from 4 percent to 7.7 percent since the US-led invasion.The UK Lancet (independent and authoritative voice in global medicine) in July 2006 reported that over 600,000 have been killed since the invasion. The UK Government publicly rejected the findings of Lancet until a FOI conducted by the BBC found that the Governments Chief Scientist actually agreed with the Lancet study!In 2006 US Johns Hopkins University and the Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad confirmed the UK Lancet figures by estimating that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.The UK ORB completed the latest and most comprehensive poll in October 2007 (polled many more regions in Iraq), they estimate 1,220,580 deaths since the U.S. invasion in 2003.November 2007 polls (1.2 million dead) and UN Sanctions (1.5 million dead) indicate a total of at least 2.7 million civilian deaths due to Iraq sanctions and the US invasion of Iraq.

Sanctions for ZimbabweANCHOR:The European Union sought to step up pressure on Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe by widening sanctions to target more officials and companies linked to his government. Mugabe's reign of power since 1980 has seen the country's economy collapse. Inflation is at least 2 million percent with crippling food prices and an 80 percent rate of unemployment, Mugabe insists the opposition accept his landslide victory from last month.STORY:Diplomats said ministers would look at how the sanctions could be implemented to find the balance between taking a tough line on Mugabe and supporting talks.Arriving for an EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, French foreign affairs minister said Tsvangirai should be prime minister.[Bernard Koucher, EU Foreign Minister]:''Listen, yesterday, they signed, Zimbabwe signed the beginning of the process to have a substantive agreement. So it's better than nothing and we hope, I strongly hope and our friends from the European Union hope that Mr. Tsvangirai will be the prime minister. He got 47% of the votes in the second round. No one is better than him to become the prime minister''.The EU has refused to recognise Mugabe's re-election in a June 27 run-off in which he was the only candidate. It has called for a new election as soon as possible after a short transition from Mugabe's rule.Tsvangirai boycotted the run-off because of attacks on his supporters despite winning the first round vote.Britain's foreign secretary said the proposed new sanctions were designed to put pressure on Mugabe's government.[David Miliband, British Foreign Secretary]:''The sanctions that we and others are proposing are designed very much to reinforce the drive for the transitional government that reflects the democratic will of the Zimbabwe people as expressed in the election in March".Existing EU sanctions include an arms embargo, visa bans and freezing of assets on more than 100 officials including Mugabe.[David Miliband, British Foreign Secretary]:"..And so I think we should recognize that the announcement yesterday is a first step, I think Mr. Tsvangirai describes it as a tentative first step. It requires an end to the violence, it requires an end to the ban on humanitarian NGOs getting around Zimbabwe. Those are the first steps towards a resolutionof the Zimbabwean crisis".Zimbabwe's ruling party and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change will begin negotiations in Pretoria on Tuesday on a power-sharing deal that could end the political crisis.

New UN sanctions proposed against IranMore at http://therealnews.com/c.php?c=080201YTUK and France table new sanctions despite IAEA report saying good progress with IranSunday February 24th, 2008After the report was circulated, Dr. ElBaradei made the following comments:"Our task in Iran is to make sure that the Iranian nuclear programme is exclusively for peaceful purposes. We are at it for the last five years. In the last four months, in particular, we have made quite good progress in clarifying the outstanding issues that had to do with Iran´s past nuclear activities, with the exception of one issue, and that is the alleged weaponization studies that supposedly Iran has conducted in the past. We have managed to clarify all the remaining outstanding issues, including the most important issue, which is the scope and nature of Iran´s enrichment programme. We have made good progress, with still one issue on our agenda and I call on Iran to act as actively as possible, as fast as possible, for me to be able (to ensure) that all issues, that have to do with Iran´s past nuclear activities, have been clarified."In addition to our work, to clarify Iran´s past nuclear activities, we have to make sure, naturally, that Iran´s current activities are also exclusively for peace purposes and for that we have been asking Iran to conclude the so called Additional Protocol, which gives us the additional authority to visit places, additional authority to have additional documents, to be able to provide assurance, not only that Iran´s declared activities are for peaceful purposes but that there are no undeclared nuclear activities. On that score, Iran in the last few months has provided us with visits to many places, that enable us to have a clearer picture of Iran´s current programme. However, that is not, in my view, sufficient. We need Iran to implement the Additional Protocol. We need to have that authority as a matter of law. That, I think, is a key for us to start being able to build progress in providing assurance that Iran´s past and current programmes are exclusively for peaceful purposes. So we have the Protocol issue and we have the weaponization, alleged weaponization studies. I should however add that in connection with the weaponization studies, we have not seen any indication that these studies were linked to nuclear material. So that gives us some satisfaction but the issue is still critical for us to be able to come to a determination as to the nature of Iran´s nuclear programme."As a result of Iran running an undeclared nuclear programme for almost two decades, there has been confidence deficit on the part of the international community about the intentions, future intentions of Iran´s nuclear programme. Therefore the Security Council asked Iran to suspend its enrichment-related activities. I hope that Iran will continue to work closely with the Security Council, to create the conditions for Iran and the international community to engage in comprehensive negotiation that would lead to a durable solution. A durable solution requires confidence about Iran´s nuclear programme, it requires a regional security arrangement, it requires normal trade relationship between Iran and the international community. As the Security Council stated, the ultimate aim should be normalization of relationships between Iran and the international community. Definitely the Agency will continue to do as much as we can to make sure that we also contribute to the confidence-building process with regard to the past and present nuclear activities in Iran, but naturally, we can not provide assurance about future intentions. That is inherently a diplomatic process that needs the engagement of all the parties."From the IAEA website http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/News/2008/iranreport0208.htm
