26/04/2012 - SIGNING THE GHENT CHARTER - images March 8, 2011
by Ward Treunen

A little known aspect of the tragedy is the systematic liquidation of Iraq’s academics. Under the current occupation, Iraq’s intellectual and technical class has been subject to a systematic and ongoing campaign of intimidation, abduction, extortion, random killings and targeted assassinations. Running parallel with the destruction of Iraq’s educational infrastructure, this repression led to the mass forced displacement of the bulk of Iraq’s educated middle class — the main engine of progress and development in modern states. The absence of this middle class has resulted in the breakdown of public services, affecting all sectors and layers of Iraqi society.

The International Seminar in Ghent on Iraqi Academia and the recommendations it has produced may offer perspectives for the Higher Education Sector in Iraq and constitute an effort to rehabilitate the high standards of education the country once had before it was destroyed by the Imperial powers through economic sanctions, war and occupation. It represents a small step at the beginning of a long journey. The more people who commit to taking this journey, the more likely we are to get there in the end.



We support self-determination for the people of Iraq, and continue to work toward our goal of making reparation with the people who have been affected by this war and its aftermath. We are convinced that all those who participated in the invasion and the destruction of Iraq should be held accountable for the destruction of the country's infrastructure, its economic and social structures, its historical past and its health and education. At the same time, however, this "accountability" must not be allowed to interfere with the ability of Iraqis to determine their own collective future.
