Richard Dicker, an international lawyer with Human Rights Watch, said: “What occurred in Falluja would be covered by the laws on war, the Geneva Convention. Dujail was not a war crime. It is a whole different body of law.” Saddam was tried under criminal law. There are no definitive figures for the number of Iraqis killed in the US offensive against Fallujah: estimates range from 4,000 to 6,000.
