Speakers:

Richard Becker is the Western Region Co-Director of the International 
Action Centre (IAC)  in san Francisco which was founded in the aftermath of 
the Gulf war in 1991. .Becker has been actively involved in the anti-war 
and anti-sanctions movements in the United States for over 25 years.  He is 
the lead organiser of the A.N.S.W.E.R coalition in the United States which 
was formed to oppose the bombing of Afghanistan. In Jan. 2000 he was 
co-producer of the video "Blockade: The Silent War Against Iraq," 
documenting the catastrophic effects of the UN sanctions on Iraq. Becker 
co-authored “The Children Are Dying”, a book published by the IAC (1996) 
documenting the effects of sanctions on the Iraqi people, and was also a 
contributing author of the book, Challenge To Genocide: Let Iraq Live 
(1999) documenting the movement against U.S. war and sanctions in Iraq. 
Becker was co-producer of the award-winning video Genocide by Sanctions (1998).

Tom Nagy, Professor of Expert Systems at George Washington  University in 
Washington DC.  Nagy is an anti-sanctions activist in the United 
States.  Over the last two years, Nagy discovered documents of the US 
Defense Intelligence Agency proving beyond a doubt that, contrary to the 
Geneva Convention, the U.S. government intentionally used sanctions against 
Iraq to degrade the country's water supply after the Gulf War

Felicity Arbuthnot is a journalist who has worked tirelessly for the past 
11 years to highlight the plight of the Iraqi people with respect to the 
indiscriminate use of Depleted Uranium during the Gulf war and the 
devastating effects this type of warfare is having on the Iraqi population. 
Arbuthnot has visited Iraq more than 30 times.
