Trial of Saddam Hussein (VIDEO)

Excerpts of Trial of Saddam Hussein by Iraqi Special Tribunal (10/19/2005) FULL STREAMING VIDEO, file is real media format, running time is 47:05

TRIBUNAL FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN CASE SET UP WITH FAIR STANDARDS

The Iraqi special tribunal that is hearing the case against former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his co-defendants was established with basic standards based on international law,

Those basic standards include the right to due process, access to legal counsel and appeals procedures.

It's important that they continue to move forward on those basic international standards that are expected for a fair trial.

Hussein is facing Iraqi justice for atrocities he committed against the Iraqi people and against humanity during his presidency, the trial is an important step in building a democratic Iraq that is based on the rule of law and is another symbol that the rule of law is returning to Iraq.

Iraq established the special tribunal to have jurisdiction to decide crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and other offenses, and both its judges and prosecutors received extensive training in international law from experts in a number of coalition countries including the United Kingdom and Italy.

The Transitional National Assembly, elected in January, also reviewed the tribunal’s statute, made amendments and approved its judges.

The first case against Saddam Hussein and other leaders of the former regime concern the hundreds of villagers who were rounded up, tortured and executed in the Shi’ite village of Dujail in 1982.
