Dear Friends,

The Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) is coordinating an Emergency Campaign on Iraq to promote peaceful alternatives to war based on fundamental human rights principles

As part of the campaign, CESR is preparing a series of one-page fact sheets examining key topics related to the crisis in Iraq, including:

1. Overview of the crisis
2. Costs and Consequences of War for Iraq
3. Costs and Consequences of War for the US
4. Weapons of Mass Destruction
5. International Law on Sanctions and War

The first two fact sheets are already available at  http://www.cesr.org/iraq/index.cfm?pageid=fact_sheets. The next two are almost finished and should be ready during the next couple of days. We hope that you will find these resources useful and informative, and encourage you to share them freely and widely.

Peace,
Jacob
