The Law Library of Congress today has launched a Web site providing essential legal information regarding the trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his co-defendants.

“The trial of Saddam Hussein is an important landmark in the development of international criminal law,” said Law Librarian of Congress Rubens Medina.  “The confluence of international and national legal principles that may stand in conflict at times makes the trial a notable experiment in international jurisprudence.”

The site may be accessed at www.loc.gov/law/public/saddam/

The Web site traces the development of the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal beginning on Dec. 10, 2003, just prior to the capture of the former Iraqi leader on Dec. 13, 2003.
