Women Nobel Peace Laureates Speak Out Against Iraq Oil Law

[Graham Saul]

The Nobel Women's Initiative issued a statement this week in support of the Iraqi people and in opposition to the imposition of the Iraq oil law. The statement, signed by women Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Betty Williams, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Prof. Jody Williams, Dr. Shirin Ebadi, and Prof. Wangari Maathai, argues that: “It is immoral and illegal to use war and invasion as mechanisms for robbing a people of their vital natural resources.”
