>            Over the last eleven years, United States-manipulated and
>         United Nations-imposed economic sanctions -- and massive
>         bombings by the United States and the United Kingdom -- have
>         claimed the lives of 1.5 million people in Iraq.  Most of the
>         victims are children under the age of five.  The damage to
>         infrastructure resulting from bombings and economic sanctions
>         has left this once prosperous nation crippled and dying.  The
>         combined effect of these actions has been devastating: hyper-
>         inflation, massive disease proliferation in both people and
>         animals, mass migration, chronic malnutrition, extreme poverty,
>         increased crime, collapse of medical services, collapse of
>         agriculture, collapse of water and sewage processing, increased
>         reliance on the state.  The list is endless.

>            In March 1999, a special United Nations Security Council

>         the Iraqi people is indisputable and cannot be overstated."
>         Iraq, the report states, has "experienced a shift from relative
>         affluence to massive poverty."  Prior to the imposition of
>         sanctions, Iraq's health care system was regarded as among the
>         best in the Middle East.  Today, however, children die from
>         epidemics of once preventable diseases.  The special Security
>         Council panel also reported that "the infant mortality rates in
>         Iraq today are among the highest in the world."  The US
>         government actively supports sanctions to prevent the production
>         of "weapons of mass destruction," while itself remaining the
>         world's largest producer, distributor, and user of weapons of
>         mass destruction.

>            Condemned by Pope John Paul II, this undeclared war by
>         insidious means is not only immoral but also illegal by
>         standards of international and US law.  The embargo directly
>         violates the Geneva Convention, the UN Charter, the Constitution
>         of the World Health Organization, the Universal Declaration of
>         Human Rights, and the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of
>         States.  Furthermore, according to US law, the blockade of the
>         Iraqi people is also an act of international terrorism.
