The Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq (CASI) aimed to raise awareness of the effects of sanctions on Iraq, and campaigned on humanitarian grounds for the lifting of non-military sanctions.
With the lifting of sanctions in May 2003, the campaign has now been dissolved. This website is maintained as an archive of information relating to the sanctions and Iraq before this date. CASI did not support or have ties to the government of Iraq.
