Trials and tribulations

Article Abstract:

War crime tribunals are part of the unresolved issues of post-war Iraq that Australia has to address. United States and Australia have ruled out the United Nations tribunals and the International Criminal Court, as it has planned a two level trial where the Iraqi jurists will try former officials of the regime for their past atrocities, which will help them in rebuilding their own legal system and the United States will try crimes committed against its troops in the recent war.

Opposing forces

Article Abstract:

Australian opposition leader Simon Crean said after returning from the holidays that the Labor Party would not support the involvement of Australian forces in a war against Iraq unless it was a United Nations missing instead of a US mission. Some critics are wondering why he waited so long to take this position.

Wheat of the battle

Article Abstract:

Australia fears that after the US defeats Iraq it will give US wheat suppliers preference in selling wheat to that country. Australia sells about 2 mil tonnes/yr of wheat to Iraq under a contract with the Iraqi Grain Board as part of the UN oil-for-food program.
