1993

Overview

This book is a comprehensive documentary and legal record compiled by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) to monitor and archive human rights violations during the Iraqi invasion and occupation of the State of Kuwait (1990–1991). The report provides a systematic analysis of the atrocities committed against the civilian population, based on eyewitness testimonies, field reports, and international monitoring data. It covers a wide range of violations, including arbitrary detention, torture, extrajudicial killings, and the forced disappearance of Kuwaiti citizens and residents (the POWs and missing persons issue). Additionally, the book examines the environmental and economic crimes committed, such as the ignition of oil wells and the systematic looting of public and private property, framed within the context of International Humanitarian Law and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This work serves as a vital historical archive and a legal reference for researchers in international relations, human rights advocacy, and the history of the Arabian Gulf.
