Human Security in Iraq: Humanitarian Harm and Its Manipulation,
1990-2004

Monday, November 29th
Time: 12:30-2 pm
1134 IAB (the SIPA building)

Since 1990, Iraqi civilians have experienced significant humanitarian suffering. UN Security Council economic sanctions,
two wars, a totalitarian government, and the current occupation and insurgency have all contributed.
All along, public health has been the most affected area.

Richard Garfield, a leading expert on public health in conflict, will comment on Iraq’s 1990-2004 humanitarian crisis. His primary
emphasis will be public health. The framework will be the concept of "human security". Human security aims to expand traditional
security definitions. It focuses on direct threats to individuals and their actual living conditions in key areas like health, food
and nutrition, water and sanitation, education, physical environment and economic status.

Garfield will address how several parties (including the former Iraqi Government and the United States) manipulated both Iraq’s
humanitarian situation and analysis/data about that situation. He will also talk about the recent Lancet (a British medical journal)
estimate that there have been 100,000 or more excess deaths in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. Garfield co-authored the survey.
According to the Lancet summary, "Violence accounted for most of the excess deaths and air strikes from coalition forces accounted for most violent deaths." Garfield will include remarks on the US and British governments’ responses to that estimate.

Richard Garfield is the Henrik H. Bendixen Clinical Professor of International Nursing at Columbia University's School of Nursing.
He is an expert on public health in conflict situations and on the humanitarian impact of economic sanctions. His countries of focus
have included Cuba, Haiti, Iraq, Liberia, and the former Yugoslavia. He has consulted for the UN (including UNICEF, the
World Health Organization, and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs), non-governmental organizations, and many national governments.

"An Inevitable Tragedy? Jews, Palestinians,

With Meron Benvenisti, Rashid Khalidi and Peter Marcuse

Does the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have a solution? Is there real hope for peace and justice in the Middle East, or is more violence and hatred the only possible future? Scholars, politicians, and analysts from Israel, Palestine, and the U.S. agree that the answers to these difficult questions lie in the fate of Jerusalem. Is this torn, divided city, shared and fought over by Jews and Palestinians, doomed to an endless civil war? Or does its deeply troubled history suggest a way out of the quagmire?

Meron Benvenisti, author of City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem and Intimate Enemies: Jews and Arabs in a Shared Land, lifelong resident of the city, and columnist for Ha'aretz, will present his controversial views on the cyclical history of heavenly and earthly Jerusalem. Joining him for this public discussion are Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies and Director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University, and Peter Marcuse, Professor of Urban Planning and Theory at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture.
