Mohammed Al-Dory an Iraqi diplomat said it was regrettable that once again, the European Union had presented an aggressive and hostile draft resolution against Iraq. It was entirely in line with the efforts of the United States against Iraq. If there was concern about human rights in Iraq, there should be a reminder of the consequences of the embargo. The authors of this draft were not interested in the humanitarian catastrophe the embargo had caused. This was genocide. The embargo had killed 1.5 million people.
