Summarization
Human Rights Watch colleague, Fred Abrahams, has chronicled the rights catastrophes that still affect Iraq and its people since the US-led invasion 20 years ago. The consequences include a minimum civilian death toll of about 190,000, countless others injured, critical infrastructure damaged or destroyed, and at least 70 mass graves yet to be exhumed. No US president has prosecuted any of the architects of the war crimes committed during the Iraq war, and most civilians never received any funding or other amends for deaths, injuries or property damage by US forces. The security vacuum created by the invasion and its abuses fueled grievances that enabled the rise of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, which morphed into ISIS. President Joe Biden's mantra as president is to "build back better," and his key first steps should be genuine amends for US war crimes and other harms against Iraqis and prosecutions of those ultimately responsible for inflicting that harm.
