U.S. Lawmakers Warn of Brewing Crisis Over Women's Rights in Iraq
By Jim Lobe

 February 3, 2004-Iraqi women, who were among the most liberated in the Arab
world under the country's legal system, are seeing their rights stripped
away by the U.S.-backed Iraqi Governing Council (IGC), according to 44 U.S.
lawmakers who are calling on President Bush (news - web sites) to take
urgent steps to address what they call a "brewing women's rights crisis."
In a letter sent to Bush Monday, the lawmakers, led by Reps. Carolyn Maloney
(D-NY), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), and Darlene Hooley (R-OR), complained
that the IGC had quietly voted to "cancel" certain laws designed to protect
women and to place them under the jurisdiction of Islamic law, or "Sharia."
"To prevent this order from taking effect, we strongly urge you and your
administration to take steps now to protect the rights of Iraqi women," the
lawmakers wrote. The White House had no immediate comment.
They were referring to IGC resolution 137, approved by the 25-member IGC
December 29, which replaces Iraq (news - web sites)'s 1959 personal-status
laws--that could affect everything from the right to education, employment
and freedom of movement, to property inheritance, divorce, and child
custody--with religious laws to be administered by clerics from the
country's different religious faiths, depending on the sect to which the
parties in any dispute belonged.
The resolution must still be approved by the Coalition Provisional Authority
(CPA), headed by Amb. Paul Bremer, in order to become legally binding. In a
letter to Bremer Friday, MADRE, a New York-based international rights
advocate for women, noted that IGC's action lacked transparency and was
taken without any public debate or open consultation with only a minority of
Council member's present.
"In less than 15 minutes of discussions, the IGC--none of whose members were
elected by Iraqis--passed Resolution 137, effectively abolishing women's
legal rights in 'liberated' Iraq," said MADRE's associate director, Yifat
Susskind. "Under the direct authority of the Bush administration, the IGC
has privileged sectarianism over inclusiveness and violated core principles
of democratic governance..."
Iraqi women, only three of whom serve on the IGC, are also protesting the
resolution, according to recent press reports.
"This will send us home and shut the door, just like what happened to women
in Afghanistan," Amira Hassan Abdullah, a Kurdish lawyer, told the
Washington Post last month. "The old law wasn't perfect, but this one would
make Iraq a jungle. Iraq women will accept it over their dead bodies."
The IGC's action, according to various reports, came at the behest of
conservative Shiite members of the Council when Abdul Aziz Hakim, a Shiite
who heads the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, chaired
it. Secular and Kurdish members of the Council have since argued against the
measure.
While the CPA is considered highly unlikely to ratify it, concern that
Muslim conservatives could push it through the transitional government to
which sovereignty is supposed to be returned by the CPA no later than June
30. Shia clerics are not only expected to increase their representation in
the government, but they may be supported by conservative Sunnis, as well.
Since the ouster of former President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) by
U.S.-led forces last April, religious conservatives in both Shia and Sunni
parts of the country are reported to have become increasingly prominent and
influential in both communities.
"Although this law would not go into effect until after June 30, 2004...we
will be unable to stop the implementation of these types of harmful laws,"
the lawmakers' letter to Bush noted. "It is imperative that we act now to
reverse this decision, or the lives of Iraqi women will be worse because of
America's actions. We cannot allow that to happen."
The lawmakers said they were particularly angered by a column on women's
rights by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz in the Washington Post
Sunday. Wolfowitz is currently in Baghdad reviewing the military and
political situation there.
The column, entitled "Women in the New Iraq," argued that "women must have
an equal role and more women should be included in Iraqi governing bodies
and ministries" but failed to mention the growing controversy over
Resolution 137 or the threat to women's rights that it poses.
"I would hope that Mr. Wolfowitz and this administration aren't viewing this
situation through rose-colored glasses," said Maloney. "There is a women's
rights crisis on the horizon, and we must take action... As ruthless a place
as Iraq was under its former dictatorship, women did hold basic rights and
were educated participants in society."
But in the post-war period, she went on, "women have been brutally attacked
and discouraged from participating in civic activities. The Governing
Council's rash move has started Iraqi women down a dangerous slippery slope
that ends in a human rights crisis. The time to act is now or never."
"After making tremendous strides for equality and parity in Iraqi society,
the women there are now being forced to fight yesterday's battle anew as
some elements in their society attempt to roll back the hands on the clock
of progress," said Johnson.
"It would be utterly ironic if the women of Iraq were forced to grapple with
an age-old regime of oppression even more despotic than the one we liberated
them from during the war," she added.
The Bush administration had originally planned to oversee the writing and
ratification of a new constitution before handing sovereignty back to an
Iraqi government. While U.S. lawyers are continuing to work with the IGC on
an interim charter that reportedly includes equal rights from women and
minorities, there is no guarantee that the principles enshrined in it will
be incorporated in a new constitution.
In its letter, MADRE noted that the resolution not only threatens women's
rights, but may also worsen growing sectarian tensions in Iraq. The
resolution, according to the letter to Bremer "would mean the introduction
of separate provisions and rules for each of the various sects in Iraq and
will thus threaten the fabric of Iraqi civil society."
"The decision establishes sectarianism as an organizing principle of social
and political life in Iraq and will deeply damage the cause of national
integration," the letter argued. It noted as well that differences exist
within the various sects regarding interpretations of Sharia and thus could
invite "legal chaos."
Zakia Ismael Hakki, a retired judge, told the Post that resolution will
"send Iraqi families back to the Middle Ages. It will allow men to have four
or five or six wives," she said. "It will take away children from their
mothers."

Un'altra verita`, Namib. Un'altra considerazione presa sotto gamba o mai
pensata.
Quel fantoccio di democrazia scivolera`pian piano totalmente in mano
all'unica forza coibente possibile : religione , il potere dei Mullah, e per
la povera irachena non ci sara`piu`speranza.
( ma tu , c'hai pensato o no di tagliuzzare il reverendo?) ;-)
Ciao
Giano

 all'unica forza coibente possibile : religione 
La religione č una forza coibente?
Che cazzo significa?
Capisco che per te questo possa essere l'unico modo di prendere
la lingua sottogamba...

Ciao Caprone!!!
Tu non so dove l'hai presa se sottogamba o altrove....comprendi?
Se non capisci il significato delle parole , lascia stare , sorvola ,
Ismaele...e` gia` tanto che ti rispondo, oppure apri un libro di fisica se
non hai un vocabolario.
Lascia stare le tabelline dei numeri che qui nel NG non servono e studia un
po' di sano italiano. Ricomincia dalle vocali e consonanti e prosegui con
pazienza.
G.

 pazienza.
Sei un ignorante presuntuoso giano, meriteresti di stare tutto il giorno
con il cappello d'asino dietro la lavagna a far compagnia a quel
brufoloso
di tuo nipote.
La religione è un forza coibente... lol!

Tu, caro contenitore ambulante di salsicce e fegatelli, prosciutti e salame,
come sempre affetto da colera cronico ricorrente(a
proposito, dovresti stare attento ai tuoi coleretici , o la bile finisce
coll'ammazzarti) sei un OLIGOFRENICO=aggettivo maschile derivato da:
---
OLIGOFRENIA:
[comp. di oligo- e -frenia (V. schizofrenia)]
s. f.
· (psicol.) Stato di insufficiente sviluppo delle facoltà mentali, spesso a
carattere ereditario.
---
oppure per essere piu`semplici e chiari ed entrare meglio in tema sei un
"deficiente" ammasso di coppe e capocolli:
---
DEFICIENTE o DEFICENTE:
[vc. dotta, lat. deficiente(m), part. pres. di deficere (V. defezione)]
A agg.
1 Individuo socialmente incapace, per le sue limitazioni mentali.
2 (spreg.) Cretino, imbecille: non dargli retta, è un povero deficiente; che
discorsi da deficiente!
----
Come la voce dotta latina "deficiente" participio presente di deficere=
mancanza ,tu manchi,infatti,delle prime basi mentali e di carattere per
essere in un contesto sociale dove si scrive.
( oltre quello che hai trovato nel tuo "vademecum del truogolo" ):
---
COIBENTE  [ significa " TENERE INSIEME " ]
[vc. dotta, lat. cohibente(m), part. pres. di cohibere 'contenere, tenere
insieme', comp. di cum 'insieme' e habere 'avere']
Se ancora non l'hai capito usa quella tua formula
W=M*L^2*T^(-3) ->  1 Watt= 1 N/s = kg*m*m/s^2/s
Se occorresse ti spieghero` anche con un esempio la differenza tra :
Combustione , Combustibile e Comburente.
Ciao idiota Cabron!
Giano
P.S.: Stavolta v'affanculo pure tu !

 come sempre affetto da colera 
Toh, gli stessi insulti del tuo fu compare di merende...
Non avete un minimo di orgoglio, vi copiate gli insulti, bah.

Uau!!! Che rosicata!
Splendido...
Allora il tuo vocabolario riporta l'etimo della parola e non il 
significato in italiano, però... che vocabolario è?
No ,perchè sai, il devoto oli porta la stessa identica definizione 
del garzanti (materiale resistente al passaggio dell'elettricità, 
del calore, del suono ecc.), invece secondo il tuo
esistono anche le *forze* coibenti, e la religione sarebbe una di 
queste... lol!
Vai, ignorante e rosicone.

Io non parlo col vocabolario in mano e parlo a chi suppongo mi capisce, se
no e mi si chiede una spiegazione, gliela do'.
Per un idiota, ignorante, attaccabrighe come te non ci sarebbero altre
spiegazioni possibili.
Deficere(mancare) > deficiente, participio presente, si puo` usare come
verbo, oppure nel descrivere il tuo caso, in quello il significato
e`"sostantivato"= IDIOTA
Cohibere(unire)     > coibente  ,   c.s.   e` un p.p."sostantivato"=isolante
, ma puo` essere usato come participio del verbo, allora significa = CHE
UNISCE
Piu` che riportarti questo non so che fare, ma la tua ignoranza si unisce
anche alla tua mania di attaccarti in ogni modo...
in un post mi avevi intimato di non romperti i coglioni e continui invece ad
attaccarti ai miei....
che decidi ??  perche`non vai veramente affanculo?
