Introduction

This website is part of an international campaign for the lifting of economic sanctions on Iraq, led by two former UN Humanitarian Coordinators for Iraq: Hans von Sponeck and Denis J. Halliday.

In September 1998 Denis Halliday resigned from his position as an Assistant Secretary General of the UN in protest against the the morally indefensible consequences of UN policy towards Iraq. In February 2000, his successor, Hans von Sponeck also resigned.

Since their resignation, both Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck have campaigned for the lifting of sanctions on Iraq. Their latest inititiative is a full page advertisement in the International Herald Tribune containing a statement demanding an end to sanctions, signed by over 250 prominent public figures and organisations.

On this website you will find the text of the advert, background information to it, more information about sanctions on Iraq, other articles and statements by Hans von Sponeck and Denis Halliday, and information about what you can do to help the campaign. You can explore the contents of the site using the menu on the left.
