Arab Studies Quarterly (ASQ), Fall, 2001 by Francis Boyle

(59.) Applicants further pray that the appropriate organs of the United Nations Organization -- as well as of all the Member States thereof -- institute criminal proceedings against Respondent George Bush for committing the international crime of genocide against the Applicants, as required by the Genocide Convention and the municipal legal systems of all civilized nations, including his own.

VII. CONCLUSION

THE PEOPLES AND COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD MUST NOT TURN THEIR EYES AWAY IN SHAME FROM IRAQ AS HUMANKIND APPROACHES THE DAWN OF THE NEXT MILLENNIUM OF ITS PARLOUS EXISTENCE. AS IRAQ'S CHILDREN GO, SO GOES THE ENTIRE WORLD!
