Lawyers seek UN support against US 'violations'
Defence lawyers for Saddam Hussein plan to petition the United Nations to take action against what they term US "violations" in the trial of the ousted Iraqi leader, the head of the legal team told AFP yesterday.
"We are planning to send a letter to the United Nations to say that the United States should stop the legal violations it is carrying out in the trial" of Saddam, Mohammed Rashdan said in a telephone interview from Paris.
"If they do not respect the law we will sue" the US administration, he added, but refused to give any details.
