“In this sober and impressive study, Hans Graf Sponeck reminds us of the provisions of the Hague Convention of 1907 that bar any penalty inflicted on people for actions for which they are not responsible, an elementary moral principle and for the past century, a binding obligation on all states. In his meticulous and carefully reasoned review, he demonstrates with painful care and precision that the UN Security Council, but particularly the US and UK, radically violated these minimal conditions of civilized behavior in their sanctions program directed against the tortured population of Iraq, including the oil for food program that he valiantly tried to direct in a humane manner, struggling against their cruel and unremitting interference. It is necessary reading, with crucial lessons for the immediate future as well. And immensely sad.” • Noam Chomsky

On 7 April 2018, Duma, a suburb of Damascus, was bombed, killing 43 people. A few days later, US, UK and French air forces attacked Syrian targets in retaliation for the Syrian government’s alleged use of poison gas. Inhumane great power politics has led to a serious crisis with worldwide consequences. Scientific investigations of the OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) have been manipulated and politicised to justify an air strike.
