At a time when Iraq is experiencing renewed violence and an intensifying wave of deadly attacks claiming dozens of civilian victims, and continues to sink into a political impasse fraught with dangers for peace in the region, the Cordoba Foundation for the Promotion of Peace and the Alkarama Foundation for Human Rights are hosting a delegation of Iraqi figures from various political backgrounds on a European tour that includes Stockholm, Oslo and Brussels. The delegation will be in Geneva from 29 April to 2 May 2009.

The aim of the visit is:

1) To inform about the political, security and human rights situation in Iraq;

2) To present a national perspective for a way out of the crisis.

The meeting will be followed by drinks. We look forward to seeing you there.

Guy Mettan, Executive Director
