Humanitarian Issues in Post-War Iraq: Statements.

 

Regional involvement is vital. There have been allegations that some of the atrocities in Iraq were committed by foreigners who have arrived in the country. The involvement of Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia has helped previously and they could be a positive influence in resolving the problems in Iraq. Senator Bradford mentioned that the weapons inspectors should have been given more time and I agree with that. The neighbouring countries should also have been allowed greater influence. We must secure such regional involvement because it could help to achieve a lasting peace.
