For those interested in reading a brief chronicle of the Anfal Trial for genocide against the Iraqi Kurds by Saddam Hussein as it was conducted before the Iraqi High Tribunal up to the point of Saddam’s execution, please access my article for volume 9 of the Journal of Genocide Research at: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=982397
The reason my article ends at Saddam’s execution is a factor of publishing what was originally meant to be an update. Michael Scharf’s point in an earlier post on this blog that we should continue following the rest of the IHT trials assiduously is well taken and I also hope that the media steps up its coverage of those proceedings even though the main protagonist is in the grave at this point.
