Jubilee Iraq is a network of groups and individuals (business people, lawyers, economists, politicians, aid workers and others) working to ensure that the Iraqi people - emerging from decades of war, oppression and sanctions - are not unjustly forced to pay Saddam's bills.

The debts which Saddam owes cannot be legitimately passed on to the Iraqi people without assesment by an arbitration tribunal employing the doctrine of odious debts to assess whether the Iraqi people benefited from these loans.

In the case of the reperations, Jubilee Iraq sympathises with the losses of individuals, companies and nations as a result of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait. However the Iraqi people (distinct from the regime) were not responsible for these losses and they also suffered, in fact to a far greater extent, as a result of that invasion and Saddam's rule over twenty five years.

We launched on 28th March 2003 in London and now have volunteers spread across many countries and a growing network of supporters. We were inspired, in part, by the international Jubilee movement.
