The U.S. treatment of detainees in Iraq [3] "might be designated as war crimes by a competent tribunal," warned acting United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Bertrand Ramcharan. In a Human Rights Commission report, Ramcharan urged that "protection arrangements be strengthened" by appointing an independent human rights monitor in Iraq "immediately." The report also calls Saddam Hussein [4]'s ouster "a major contribution to human rights" and acknowledged "the good intentions of the Coalition governments." UN envoy to Iraq Lakhdar Brahimi didn't feel so generous [5], when he responded to a question about the U.S. role in forming the Iraqi interim government [6]. Brahimi said U.S. Ambassador Paul Bremer [7] "is the dictator of Iraq. ... I will remind you that the Americans are governing this country."
