"A discussion with the Chief of the Human Rights Office for the United Nations operation in Iraq for the past 2 years. John Pace started in Baghdad in the months after the former U.N. Special Representative, Sergio De Mello was killed by a truck bomb, and his term has just finished, as Iraq’s sectarian violence explodes into full world view. He describes a total breakdown of individual and human rights in Iraq, citing sectarian violence and a string of secret prisons in which people are held without any judicial authority."
