Synopsis
Intended to validate the Iraq Invasion and an emergent Iraqi democracy, the Tribunal became a show-trial micro-managed by the US. The trial of Saddam Hussein marks the first time since the UN was created that a head of state has been put on trial by an invading, occupying power. This book, by the UK coordinator of Saddam Husseins defense team, seeks to alert public attention to the threat this precedent poses to developing nations, and to its distortive influence on international law. Dr. Al-Ani documents the trail of illegalities marking the destruction of Iraq at the hands of the US and UK, including the proceedings of the tribunal that dispatched Saddam Hussein. Al-Ani follows the trial step by step detailing its many failures, including: Important documents withheld from defense lawyers no written transcript lost paperwork defense prevented from cross-examining witnesses The trial itself provoked international condemnation. International human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, as well as the High Commissioner for Human Rights, have stated that it did not meet international standards for a fair trial.

About the Author
Dr. Abdul-Haq al-Ani is an Iraqi-born, British-trained barrister who served as legal adviser on Saddam Hussein's defense to his daughter, Raghad Saddam Hussein. Called to the Bar in 1996, he also holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and a Diploma in International Studies from the University of London. Founding editor of The Arab Review, he has written widely on culture, politics and religion. He joined the Ba'ath Party while in his teens, but left it in disappointment a few years later, prior to the Ba'ath Party assuming power in 1968.
Review
"even though the book profoundly, cogently, and on its face irrefutably exposes the injustice of the trial of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his co-defendants, it exposes much, much more... The Trial of Saddam Hussein is densely packed with legal arguments (though eminently readable and comprehensible) and fastidious conclusions, and a simple book review cannot do justice... "

TRIAL OF SADDAM HUSSEIN
Seller: Ergodebooks, Houston, TX, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Good. The trial of Saddam Hussein marks the first time since the UN was created that a head of state has been put on trial by an invading, occupying power. This book seeks to draw public attention to the threat this precedent poses to developing nations worldwide, and to its distortive influence on the further evolution of international law.Al-Ani documents the trail of illegalities marking the destruction of Iraq at the hands of the US and UK, from the genocidal sanctions of the 1990s, the US State Department pre-invasion planning that commenced in 2001, and the 2003 invasion, to the setting up and proceedings of the tribunal that swiftly dispatched Saddam Hussein.While the Tribunal was intended to promote the image of a triumphant Iraqi democracy, the US was actually in control of all stages of the trial. It drafted the Tribunals Statute; determined the trial venue and what charges would be brought; researched, compiled, stored, and prevented access to evidence and documentation; selected and trained the judges, and micro-managed the proceedings.The trial itself was so farcical as to provoke international condemnation. International human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, as well as UN bodies such as the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and the High Commissioner for Human Rights, have stated that the Iraqi Special Tribunal and its legal process does not meet international standards for a fair trial.The behavior of the United States and its allies sets an ugly precedent for its intervention in other targeted states. This detailed examination reveals how the New World is in fact being ordered. It presents a terrifying prospect of ruthless dictatorship, deprivation of independence, and removal of the human right to justice. It lays bare the level of deception, hypocrisy, and flagrant flouting of even its own laws to which the U.S. was willing to resort in order to achieve its objective: the subjugation of a sovereign nation.
