Following the release of the US Senate Intelligence Committee’s study of the CIA’s detention and interrogation program on December 9, 2014, two former UN Assistant Secretaries-General and UN Humanitarian Coordinators for Iraq, Hans von Sponeck and Denis Halliday, initiated a petition to start a judicial process against the violators of the UN Convention Against Torture and the Geneva Conventions. The petition, which has now become global through the campaigning of the Brussels Tribunal, an activist think tank and peace organization with a focus on Iraq, will be delivered to the US Government, the International Criminal Court, the President of the General Assembly, the President of the Human Rights Council and the European Court of Justice.
