Open Letter to the UN Security Council on Ending Corporate Immunity in Iraq
Text (pdf)
On June 4th, 2004, three organizations – EarthRights International, the Government Accountability Project, and the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network – urged the United Nations Security Council to reject language in the draft US/UK resolution on Iraq that would immunize U.S. corporations from the legal consequences of their actions in the Iraqi oil sector.
The Security Council is expected to vote on the Iraq Resolution as early as Monday, June 7th. Please contact your representatives regarding this issue ASAP. If this language survives, companies like Halliburton may be immune from any legal consequences from their actions in Iraq for the indefinite future. View file

This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
