Towards the end of 2003 and 2004, Iraq became the battle ground and regional arm conflict to settle scores with different factions. Insurgents bombed the Holy Shrines in Sammarra in March 2006. This attack ignited sectarian and ethnic arms conflict throughout Iraq on a scale never seen before. Thousands of Shiites had fled Sunni areas and vice versa. Christians also fled from Sunni areas to Kurdistan. These recent events, in addition to decades of severe oppression and sanctions fractured the integrity of the civil order and society in Iraq. Recently in Kurdistan, the safe haven for many Iraqis became involved in armed conflict too. Both the Iranians and Turkish military were bombarding the border villages with artillery shells for days and weeks. Thousands of villagers left their homes and migrated inland for fear of their lives thus compounding the refugee problems in Kurdistan. The Oxfam Organization reported that there are eight million Iraqis in need of urgent help. This number constitutes one third of the population in Iraq.

  • United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination Of
    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs As delivered Under-Secretary-General Valerie Amos Opening remarks at event marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Canal Hotel Bombing Rio de Janeiro, 19 August 2013 It is a great privilege to be here in Brazil with you on the tenth anniversary of the bomb attack that took the lives of 22 people including Sergio Vieira de Mello. The attack on the Canal Hotel is still shocking, horrifying to us ten years on, because it was deliberate and targeted against Sergio and his colleagues who were in Iraq to help people in need. It violated every principle of humanity and solidarity, the principles on which the UN is founded. Today we not only remember Sergio and his colleagues, but also so many friends and of course colleagues who survived the attack. We commemorate Sergio’s life and work in Brazil and on the international stage through the marking of World Humanitarian Day, when we remember all the humanitarian aid workers who have given their lives in order to help people in need. Sergio’s name resonates in the UN building in New York and everywhere he worked around the world: the charismatic leader, the fearless humanitarian. His ideals, commitment and energy remain an inspiration to us all. Ladies and gentlemen, The attack on Sergio Vieira de Mello, and the other people who died at the Canal Hotel that day, was a senseless waste of human life and by forcing the UN to reduce its work in Iraq, it was an indirect attack on some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Although I want to thank everyone, these limitations require me to note only those whose support was instrumental, endless, and tireless. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Joshua Gunn. Josh’s patience, diligence, and guidance are unmatched and I am truly blessed to be one of his advisees. Mere words are not capable of expressing how much I appreciate his efforts and his meticulous attention to detail pushed me to produce the very best work that I could.
