Along with What in the World? presenter Peadar King, former United Nations Assistant Secretary General [1994-98], Nobel peace prize nominee and Gandhi International Peace laureate Irishman Denis J. Halliday, revisits Iraq twenty years after his resignation from his UN post.
“I was becoming complicit, in what I believe was a deliberate intention of genocide of the people of Iraq in order to overthrow, or have them overthrow the government in Baghdad. Therefore, I didn’t really want to be associated with a genocide run by the United Nations”.
Two devastating wars later Halliday revisits once familiar locations, Babylon, Baghdad, Basra, Erbil and Mosul and finds that the war hasn’t gone away.
