debt: The Paris Club Writes Off 80% of Iraqi Debt |

Iraqi debt raises once again the question of the doctrine
of the odious debt. This doctrine clearly states that
debts made with the people’s consent and that
do not benefit to the population should not be paid
by a newly established free government.

Jubilee
Iraq
Jubilee Iraq is a network of groups and individuals

people - emerging from decades of war, oppression and
sanctions - are not unjustly forced to pay Saddam's
bills.
