The international responsibility of the occupation of Iraq

Responsibility is the axis of any legal system. It could be a tool for developing its rules through its guarantees against abuse, in order to turn from being merely theoretical rules into legal commitments. In the field of international law, the responsibility connects with the cases of violating the commitments imposed by the international law on its members, whether those related to the general rules or those related to the rules of humanitarian international law. This is the core of our research in investigating the responsibility of the states occupying Iraq, for there is a multiplicity in the range of their international responsibility. The first is their responsibility for the non-legitimate use of force and then the occupation, according to the rules of public international law. The second is their responsibility for the violations occurred in Iraq, according to the rules of humanitarian international law. Thus, we can investigate the possibility of finding the available legal mechanisms to implement this responsibility and detect the essence of the obstacles confronting them. .
