The defense team of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein declared that it will boycott the Iraqi Special Tribunal, following the murder of a second Saddam lawyer. Many experts reflected on other options for trying Saddam. Philippe Kirsch, the president of the International Criminal Court (ICC), dispelled the notion that Saddam could be tried through the ICC. Kirsch clarified that the ICC is only able to prosecute crimes that took place after the court’s date of establishment, July 2002.

One of the first witnesses in the trial of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein talks about the torture she experienced as a prisoner of Saddam’s intelligence forces in the 1980s. Amidst the extreme politicization of the Iraqi Special Tribunal, the woman’s testimony is a reminder that many Iraqis who suffered under Saddam’s regime would benefit from a fair trial that brings him to justice.
