Iraqi Judges Discuss Rule of Law With International Legal Experts

The Hague, Netherlands 
May 5, 2004

Twenty-eight Iraqi judges and Ministry of Justice officials were in the Hague, Netherlands May 5 and 6, 2004 for a conference on the rule of law with their international counterparts. Iraqi judges were holding the 2-day conference with two U.S. Supreme Court justices, the most senior judge in Britain, and judges attached to international tribunals based in The Hague. Conference participants discussed the importance of rule of law and the role of the judiciary in securing fundamental rights. The conference was organized by the Coalition Provisional Authority's Ministry of Justice in Baghdad, along with the U.S. Embassy in The Hague.
