My mother sends this link to World Tribunal on Iraq<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking its cue from the Russell Tribunal of the late 1960s, the World Tribunal on Iraq is aimed at challenging the silence around the aggression against Iraq and seeking the truth about the war and occupation in Iraq. This will be a record of wrongs, violations and crimes as well as suffering, resistance and silenced voices. This will be a process of listening, reflection, evaluation and informed judgement based on concrete evidence. This will be a call to conscience and a call to act to preserve our futures.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Tribunal begins the 23 of June at Istanbul.

In Brussels a number of activists arrived at the US Embassy with a huge banner reading \u00e2\u20ac\u0153President Bush, the World holds you accountable\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. The activists also presented a letter to the US officials at the Embassy.<\/p>\n

In front of the US Embassy today, Prof. Lieven De Cauter, initiator of the BRussells Tribunal, and spokesperson for the WTI in Belgium, said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Since the US administration does not recognize the International Criminal Court (ICC), the citizens of the world have
