All the actions will focus on UN reports which confirm the sanctions are responsible for the premature deaths of over a million Iraqis in the last seven years. Over half the victims are children. More than 4,500 children under the age of five are still dying every month in Iraq due to the economic embargo. One third of all Iraqi children are stunted and deformed by malnutrition. The economic strangling of Iraq by the UN Security Council could not continue if people around the world knew about and confronted the sanctions.
Sanctions are truly a U.S. weapon of mass destruction.
The International Action Center has been organizing to end the sanctions against Iraq for the past seven years. We must continue to organize to defeat this criminal policy which targets the entire nation of Iraq.
