The very fact that in the aftermath of the Iraqi genocidal Anfal campaign in 1988 and in the aftermath of the genocidal campaign against the Marsh Arabs in the south of Iraq at the end of the first gulf war, we still could not bring ourselves to set up an international criminal tribunal for Iraq which allowed Saddam Hussein to interpret from our inaction, if not indifference, that he could continue with his Nuremberg criminality.
À l'issue de la campagne génocide d'Anfal, en 1988, et de la campagne génocide menée contre les Arabes des marais dans le sud de l'Irak, à la fin de la première guerre du Golfe, nous ne pouvions toujours pas nous résoudre à créer un tribunal criminel international pour l'Irak.
