Iraq - Currents - Brief Article

New Internationalist, August, 2003 by Zaki Yahya

During a three-day June meeting in the southern Iraqi city of Najaf, a conference of 900 prominent Iraqi lawyers and politicians approved a blueprint for the appointment of a temporary government to draw up a new post-Saddam constitution. The move puts new pressure on the occupying forces to agree to some form of Iraqi self-rule, rather than the interim political council that US chief administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, plans to appoint himself.

[Paul Bremer will be profiled in the NI next month.]
