There have been human rights violations in Iraq in all three major periods of recent history Specifically:

  • Human rights in pre-Saddam Iraq (1920-1979)
  • Human rights in Saddam Hussein's Iraq (1979-2003)
  • Human rights in post-invasion Iraq (2003-), post Saddam Hussein.

In the current period there have been a number of human rights violations by both insurgents and coalition forces.

War crimes by insurgents include, but are not limited to, bombings, hostage taking, and beheading.

War crimes by the coalition forces include but are not limited to, prison scandals (Abu Ghraib prison), killing of innocent civilians and gang rape

If the United States didn't go to war with Iraq for weapons of mass destruction or oil or human rights then why did they go to war with Iraq?

The question is worded in a ridiculous fashion. Both America and its detractors have cited these three reasons as the most common bases of why the United States started the Iraq War. The only other reasons proffered include that Iraq was a hotbed of terrorism (which was blatantly untrue) and numerous conspiracy theories about the Military-Industrial Complex, Freemasonry, Republican Agendas, and various similar nonsense (which like all conspiracy theories are explicitly non-falsifiable).

Is it true that if you renounce my citizenshipus in UK France or Spain based on lack of full human rights being a gay man and opposition to Iraq you would be deported back to the us what if you refuse?

If you renounce American citizenship by giving notice to the U.S. State Department, you probably cannot be deported back to the U.S. However, renouncing your citizenship without securing a new citizenship is probably not the smartest choice. And it won't help Iraqis much, either.

Are human rights respected in all countries throughout the world?

No. There are almost 2 billion children in the world, most of which are not receiving a good education, or any education at all. This violates the right to an education. We have right to not be tortured, however, a Briton is currently being detained in Iraq and tortured, without a trail. This doesn't only violate the right not to be tortured, but the right to a fair trail. So Iraq is a counrt in which human rights are not respected. Even in the UK and the USA, human rights are not respected. The right to not be discriminated against is violated constantly. Mainly at work, with people being discriminated because of the colour of their skin, their age, their sexuality, their religion etc.

What led to the revelation of human rights violations during the Iraq war?

The revelation of human rights violations during the Iraq War was primarily driven by investigative journalism, whistleblower accounts, and leaked documents, including the infamous Abu Ghraib photographs that emerged in 2004. These images depicted the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. military personnel, sparking outrage and widespread condemnation. Additionally, reports from human rights organizations and testimonies from soldiers and civilians helped to illuminate systemic issues related to detention practices, torture, and civilian casualties. Together, these factors contributed to a growing awareness of the extent of the human rights violations occurring during the conflict.
