Abstract

Watching Rights
Neier, Aryeh | February 27, 1995 issue

add to cart   close window

It is informed that the renewed refusal in January by the United Nations Security Council to ease economic sanctions on Iraq was based on that country's failure to comply with the Council's resolutions dealing with weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's human rights record was not directly at issue. Even so, the maintenance of sanctions raises troubling questions for those concerned about rights. The sanctions, and the manner the government of Saddam Hussein has chosen to cope with them, have had a devastating impact. In a once-prosperous country, some are at risk of starving to death and a great many more are undernourished.
