Another Iraq is Possible withPeace, Human Rights, and Social Justice

 

Towards establishing an Iraqi Social Forum

Iraqis have participated in the activities of the World Social Forum since its founding in Brazil in 2001. Now Iraqi social justice groups wish to promote a deep democratic discussion about what is happening in Iraq today. Iraqi civil society groups have agreed to work on establishing the Iraqi Social Forum as an open space for individuals, groups, organizations and those who believe in the principles of social justice and human rights including political, civil, social, economic, and cultural rights. After many meetings, a preparatory committee was formed and agreed on a charter for the Iraqi Social Forum. The committee has drawn a road map towards its start, and has defined a vision:

The Iraqi Social Forum definition:

The forum is an open space for democratic conversations, to discuss ideas, formulate suggestions, and exchange experiences. In addition it is a space for interaction among social movements and networks, NGOs, and other members of civil society. with the Forum features multiplicity and diversity; it is also a non-religious, non- partisan and non-governmental activity. It works to facilitate non-centralized interaction and engagement with organizations, societies and movements locally as well as internationally, considering proposals and taking actions and in order to build a more just and democratic world.

 

Our slogan:

“Another Iraq is possible...An Iraq of peace, human rights & social justice”

The participants are all those who work for Iraq to be a civil state with a clear and unambiguous identity, a country that guarantees pluralism, freedom of religion, thought, belief, where the principles of equality and non-discrimination by gender, color, ethnicity or sect are respected by all. A country where the principles of individual freedom, public benefits and social justice are not just slogans for trade but are supported by real actions. This forum will serve as a joint project between:

 

Iraqi Social Movements.

Trade Unions and Professional Associations.

Civil Society Organizations.

Social Justice Activists.

The Iraqi Civil Society Solidarity Initiative.

The reasons behind the Forum’s establishment:

Recent world developments have greatly affected Iraq, its citizens, and all the people of the region: the global economic crisis and its repercussions, the Arab spring

witnessed by the Arab countries. In addition, we can identify regional challenges including water problems, and border security.

Moreover, these factors also contribute to current challenges in Iraq: 

  • 1. The political crisis and the confusion in the identity of the Iraqi state. In the current moment, which is dominated by disputes for power, not enough attention is paid to dialogue, building partnerships, and fostering cooperation in order to find solutions to Iraqs lingering problems. There is a clear inability to end the page of violence and terrorism that Iraqis pay dearly for. 
  • 2. Increasing poverty and unemployment, unequal access to opportunities, poor infrastructure, and a lack of provision of social services such as electricity, medicalcare and education. 
  • 3. The continuous increase in the budget, offset by a deficit in establishing concrete achievements for Iraqi citizens, the inability to support real development, due to the political crisis and the struggle for power and money, as well as sectarianism, financial and administrative corruption, of the governmental body and with the huge problem of unemployment. 
  • 4. Overlapping legal authorities and the questionable independence of the judiciary. We have faith in the rule of law, separation of executive ,legislative and judiciary powers and deep respect for international standards concerning justice and fair trials. 
  • 5. Weakness in enforcing the rule of law, as well as international conventions, treaties, and agreements, and continuing violations of human rights, especially freedom of the press and freedom of expression. 

In light of the above, we strive for the Iraqi Social forum to give a strong impetus to civil society mobilization, in order to reform the political, economic, social and

cultural development, and to promote a vision of a democratic, civil state. We are here not to declare a network or alliance, but rather to provide an open space for discussion and dialogue among those who share our values and concepts. We are here to contribute, collaboratively and horizontally, to work on the realization of alternative options for the weary scenario in which we live today.

 

Proposed topics for discussion at the Iraqi Social Forum 2013:

 

We believe that the current problems Iraq is facing that are deemed significant to be discussed in the upcoming Iraqi Social Forum are: 

  • First: Building a civic, democratic country. 
  • Second: International Solidarity campaigns, including: (Freedom of Speech campaign, Save the Tigris campaign and the Iraqi Marshes campaign, and campaignsto control Private Military Companies). 
  • Third: Iraq's minorities and the nationalism problems. 
  • Fourth: Equitable distribution of wealth and social justice. 
  • Fifth: Labor unions, trade unions and peasant associations. 
  • Sixth: Women, youth, and childhood (challenges, solutions and prospects). 
  • Seventh: Economic, social, and cultural issues. 
  • Eighth: Nonviolence as a way of social, cultural, and economical change in Iraq.

Therefore, and on behalf of the Preparatory Committee of the Iraqi Social Forum we invite you to participate and contribute effectively to the success of this Iraqi eventwhich serves all Iraqi citizens. All participants in the Iraqi Social Forum should endorse the Charter of Principles of the World Social Forum, drafted and approved in Brazil in 2001.
